    UK and Europe still pushing for war and stand-off to continue.

    Could Europe, UK and Ukraine ignore a US-Russia peace deal?

    It wouldn’t be a deal if one of the involved parties doesn’t agree to the terms.

    So the war will continue and Europe will become more militarized, but without the US.

    Which means the UK and France will feel free to provide whatever weapons they want and even send troops.

    But if an agreement is reached that all parties can bear then the conflict will be over. The changes in the US administration represent a change in the balance of forces in the region. All players will be aware of that.

    Can’t see Zelensky and Kyiv Starmer agreeing with anything Trump and Putin resolve upon.

    Britain seems to have had major influence over the EU on this matter ever since Brexit, and is still wielding this influence, with Macron & Co. being led by the nose.

    Even so, Brexit must be for the UK govt a shot in their own foot: (which Putin supported btw) calling the referendum an act of spleen, maybe, on the part of abdicating PM Cameron?

    Zelensky is still trying to flog access to Ukraine´s mineral reserves but at a higher price than what is on the table. I don’t really understand what is behind this as I understand the mineral rights have already been bought up by interested parties and of course, a large chunk of those reserves are in territory occupied by the Russian military

    Incidentally, I read somewhere that Zelensky´s term of office as President expired a long time ago. Why is he still in power without a democratic mandate?

    The first article above claims even Zelensky and Putin were on the verge, numerous times, of a peace deal, but Britain and Biden were always there to deliberately scupper every one and keep the war going.
    Now Starmer is still at it, going to Washington soon to try and scupper things again.

    I remember a long time ago the US was asking its physicists about whether a “limited” nuclear war was possible in Europe. Maybe that’s on the cards still. Maybe that explains the preparing in Europe for war with Russia.

    Britain wouldn’t last a day should even a limited nuclear exchange with Russia happen. It would be absolutely obliterated. I cannot believe even an utter twit like Starmer would be unaware of the consequences and so would put this down to just theatrics on his part.

    Nor can I see the UK seriously engaging in an official capacity in a conventional war against Russia apart from the fact that it is no longer a world power. If it did unilaterally do that it is likely to precipitate the break up of NATO and as things stand NATO has no intention of officially engaging in a war with Russia. Starmer will be told in no uncertain terms to toe the line

    So he is making noise because he has lost the bloody game. Gnashing his teeth. But then so are France and Germany, but what the hell for I don’t know.
    Before Biden got them to ditch Nordstream they were all for dealing with Russia.

    Yes and he’s tied to paying a basket case £3 billion a year for the next 100 years. It’ll probably go straight towards repaying the interest on the debt that Ukraine owes the US.

    Trump is showing them how to do it : be “transactional”. I’m sure if he was the German Chancellor he’d start buying Russian oil again on the grounds that it’s cheaper than the LNG from the US and those paragons of democracy the Gulf States.

    Mind you, it was the Biden regime that pulled that one off. By cutting itself off from cheap Russian oil Germany has shot itself in the foot by undermining its competitiveness.

    No wonder the European leaders are running around like headless chickens. They’ve been had.

    So why don’t they embrace a peace deal instead of eagerly continuing on Biden’s path, even when the US has changed tack?
