Volodymyr Zelensky up to his usual tricks, trying to derail peace talks before they start (Picture: Al Jazeera)
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky may have just crossed the line with the Trump Administrationt, by playing his usual trick of trying to stall peace negotiations before they start.
As diplomats from the USA, Russia and Ukraine gathered in Geneva for the latest trilateral peace talks, Ukraine's actor-with-a-piano-playing-penis turned president has complained that the US delegation could pressure him to make "unsuccessful decisions" (as if every decision he has made since becoming president has not been unsuccessful,) and is urging Washington to back off, even using expletives to make his point.
For starters, he claims that the Ukrainian public won't let him cede territory to Russia for the sake of peace although it is difficult to see how he can know this as he has banneed all political opposition parties, seized control of media and uses state police to suppress public discussion of his corrupt regimes actions
But the latest colorful verbal broadside, cited by Axios on Tuesday as Russian and Ukrainian delegations convened in Geneva, saw Zelensky take direct aim at the head of Moscow's negotiating team, Vladimir Medinsky.
Medinsky has argued - along with numerous Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin - that the conflict's historical roots must be addressed as part of any settlement, especially given the bulk of the Ukrainian population in the east (Donbas) has always been Russian speaking and looked to Moscow historically.
Zelensky dismissed that approach outright:
"We don’t have time for all this shit," he told the outlet. "So we have to decide, and have to finish the war."
But while Zelensky and his corrupt regime shit on golden toilets paid for with money stonen from western taxpayers, unfortunately for Kiev the shit Russian and US negotiators don't have time for is Zelensky's usual schtick of laying down a list of demands and saying the war will only end when Russia accepts hi terms and surrenders to the Ukies. One of Zelensky's non negotiable demands is that Russia withdraws from all occuiped territory and pay enormous sums in reparations to Ukraine.
The Ukies refuse to look back any further than the Russian incursion of 2022 for the origin of the conflict, conveniently forgetting that since the NATO / EU engineered coup in 2014 the Ukie neo - Nazi regime had been killing Russian - speaking citizens in its eastern provinces.
The Kremlin has recently made clear that Russia aims to take the full Donbas either through talks or by force. Ukraine's military still holds 10% of the Donbas, however, and Kiev is rejecting a US proposal for it to draw back its forces as part of a conflict freeze leading to settlement.
The White House this month has finally appeared to be ratcheting up the pressure directly on Zelensky to make some kind of serious land concession.
Despite having been lionized in the west and praised for his personal bravery Zelensky has failed to restore national unity or implement the crucial peace accord that is the only path to reconciliation. The Ukrainian president doesn’t like the so-called Minsk Protocol and has refused to meet its basic requirements. As a result, the ethnically-charged, fratricidal war that engulfed Ukraine for 8 years before turnig into full scale wat in 2022, continues to this day with no end in sight. President Vladimir Putin referred to Zelensky’s obstinance in a recent speech delivered at the Kremlin. He said:
“At yesterday’s event… the Ukrainian leadership publicly declared that they were not going to abide by these agreements. Not going to abide by them. Well, what else can you say about that?” (Vladimir Putin)
Zelensky's plans are becoming more plain by the day, his paymasters are eager to keep this fiasco going as long as possible. It's evident that it doesn't matter whether Ukraine is losing or not. Keeping the war going keeps the big money cycle flowing. There are plenty of new Ukrainian billionaires, and you can be sure that many US 'officials' are getting their palms greased, and making 800% returns on their investments. This is why Zelensky has sabotaged numerous peace plans and western efforts to clean up Kiev's culture of corruption.
Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops. He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.
If You're Afraid Of Nuclear War You're Not Supporting Ukraine Enough Is Zelensky's Latest Message
The follow up to Elon Musk's refusal to open his Starlink satellite network for the benefit of Ukrainian military leaders as they fantasise about attacking Crimea and driving out the Russian occupying force this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous the Ukrainian government's desire to escalate the war has become.
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.
We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...
Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable. To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this, The Daily Stirrer and many other alternative media news and analysis sites have been warning for about two years that Obama's foreign policy was making conflict inevitable.

Most historically-aware people following what has been happening in the former-Soviet Union since the early 90's understand that various disreputable people have been attempting to grab the resources of the both Russia and Ukraine. Since US corporate and financual interests were kicked out and the oligarchs reigned in by the Putin, there have been many Western attempts to foment revolution, destabilization, and isolation across the post-Soviet states.
Zelensky was elected in a landslide victory in 2019 on the promise of easing tensions with Russia and resolving the crisis in the breakaway republics in east Ukraine. He has made no attempt to keep his word on either issue. Instead, he has greatly exacerbated Ukraine’s internal crisis while relentlessly provoking Russia. Zelensky has had numerous opportunities to smooth things over with Moscow and prevent the outbreak of hostilities. Instead, he has consistently made matters worse by provoking Russia while deliberately wrecking western pace initiatives.
Were there a competent replacement waiting in the wings who could take over from Zelensky and act on behalf of the Ukrainian people rather than a small gang of rich, corrupt, criminally inclined cronies, such a person would cut Ukraine's losses by ceding captured territory, and then revisiting the historical agreements between Russia and Ukraine, with security guarantees for both Russia and Ukraine.
Russia needs to control its historical interests for survival and doesn't seem to have imperialistic ambitions despite what excitable types in western mainstream media have repeatedly claimed. Establishing a buffer zone against a foreign-controlled, hostile, threatening neighbor makes good sense. And who would want Europe anyhow? Due to deindustrialisation, Net Zero and mass immigration it has become a big Disney park overun with dark skinned hustlers selling cheap trinkets at vastly inflated prices. The continent that led the world technologically and socially for 3000 years has very poor prospects for the future. And whether the elites like it or not, some peoples still want a future.
A competent and trustworthy Zelensky replacement, or succession of them, might actually be able to normalize relations between the their country and Russia and they could enjoy peace and cooperation. Of course, that just isn't going to happen with Zelensky's neo - Nazi bosses in the mix. Thus, we get this broken record scenario playing out every few weeks until Trump or his successor gets fed up.
