 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently told French newspaper "Le Monde" that he does not rule out holding a referendum on the future of Ukrainian territories to end the war, but "it requires the will of the Ukrainian people."
...
According to Zelensky, Ukraine should not liberate all its territories by "force and weapons," because this option "costs us a lot of time and human lives." Zelensky added: - We can return our territories through diplomatic means.

This was a groundbreaking statement from the Ukrainian leader. On July 22, he said in an interview with the BBC that Ukraine is ready to negotiate the end of the war with Russia, even if Vladimir Putin leads the latter. According to the president of Ukraine, the most essential thing in this matter is a genuine desire for peace on terms consistent with international law.

I…

What discredits any talk of peace by Zelensky is the recent Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region of Russia, it’s the biggest attack on Russia since the Nazis, pundits in mainsteam meadia, who are still spinning the like that Ukraine is winning the war and Russia's total collapse is only days away, are eager to tell us. 

That the incursion into Russian territory by Ukrainian troops is a suicide mission is beyond doubt, but it gives The War Party an excuse to ramp up their calls for more suport, more weapons, aircraft and money to be given to the Kiev regime.There are multiple ideas what the Ukraine leaders wants to achieve with this:

Ukraine has said nothing about the mission or its goals. Theories abound, from an attempt to seize territory as a potential bargaining chip in future negotiations with Moscow, to a diversionary tactic to ease pressure on stretched defenses in Ukraine by drawing Russian forces away from the frontline.

But the Bloomberg writer comes up with a different theory - that the attack was made to unbalance Russia:

The episode exposed the fragility of Russian border defenses with growing numbers of its soldiers fighting in Ukraine. It has boosted Ukrainian morale.

And it has also punctured the Kremlin’s carefully constructed image of Putin as the protector of ordinary Russians.

Instead, the war he started in Ukraine now spills increasingly into Russia, where people in border regions live under constant risk of shelling and drones strike key industrial facilities.

For Ukraine, it’s likely to bolster Kyiv’s argument that US and European allies shouldn’t fear Kremlin threats of escalation and that it should be allowed to take the fight to Putin in any way it sees fit to hasten an end to the war.

The daily summary author at Strana suspects an only slightly different motive (machine translation):

Much indicates that Kiev's real strategy is quite different – to wage a long war in the hope of internal destabilization in the Russian Federation. And here the task is to convince Western partners (including such skeptical ones as Trump) that this is not a dream, but a real calculation. Therefore, Ukraine should not be pushed to negotiate, but give the Armed Forces of Ukraine more weapons and lift restrictions on missiles.

The offensive in the Kursk region, apparently, is designed to prove this to the West.

And now Ukraine's supporters in the west are admitting the attackers are neo-Nazis/Banderites. Why do our leaders and so many of our compatriots support such people?

The Myrotvorets website clearly illustrates the type of people the Zelensky far club would have us go to war in support of, and defend on a daily basis, showing on its home page close-up photographs of Russian soldiers tortured to death, overwritten with the text “Death to the Russian Fascist Invaders and Occupiers”, with Mark Milley (former US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) quoted saying “There should not be a single Russian who goes to bed without fearing his throat will be cut in the middle of the night”, and showing photographs of Russian FSB (Federal Security Service) workers together with the text “Later, we will begin to talk about the agents from among the citizens of Ukraine who are in touch with them. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them”.

The website describes itself in Ukrainian as Center for the Study of Signs of Crimes against the National Security of Ukraine, Peace, Human Security and International Law and Order, whereas the English version is written as Non-Government Center for Research of Elements of Crimes against the National Security of Ukraine, Peace, Humanity, and the International Law, Information for law enforcement authorities and special services about pro-Russian terrorists, separatists, mercenaries, war criminals, and murderers, thus presumably emphasizing “Non-Government”.

The propagandists' claim that this is not a Ukrainian government website may be accurate but the Ukrainian government is obviously not displeased with the website since it continues to exist and be regularly updated despite many countries, including the UN, asking for it to be taken down.

Its famous “Hit list” is shown on the Purgatory (Чистилище) page and includes many well-known, international personalities, as I have written before. Look at the men and women listed there, partly with complete addresses and telephone numbers. One 23-year old woman is a: “Traitor to the Motherland. An accomplice of the Russian-fascist invaders and terrorists. Encroachment on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. An accomplice in the crimes of the Russian authorities against Ukraine and its citizens”. Her crime? She is a secretary working at a court near Luhansk, which used to be part of Ukraine but whose citizens voted to join Russia.

Of course, the West supports Ukraine in its supposedly democratic desire to be able to join NATO but at what cost? At the cost of the complete destruction of the country, apparently. And NATO – the WWII relic – is the only reason? Russia has already said it has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU should it really want to. So the loss of 0.5 to 1 million Ukrainian lives and major destruction to the country is worth the ability to join NATO?

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
