"Any issue of territories cannot be separated from security guarantees. Otherwise, now they want to gift them about 9,000 square kilometers - this is about 30% of the Donetsk region, and this is a springboard for their new aggression."
"If we move to the next stages and reach agreements in the field of strategic offensive arms control, this will create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, in Europe, and in the world as a whole."In force since 2011, the treaty limits the US and Russia to no more than 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads and provides for mutual inspections to verify compliance.
"It's funny they call [intel] a 'community.' That sounds so benign and beneficial. Everybody likes communities."And so, now, in Alaska, Mr. Trump sits down with Vlad Putin to attempt a settling of Ukraine's hash. This war has been a three-year bloody grind, millions killed, mostly Ukrainians, provoked underhandedly by US State Dept / CIA neocons, Britain's MI6 apparatus, and the girl-bosses of the EU, for no good reason, namely, to weaken and possibly break-up Russia so as to get at its vast mineral and energy resources. This has been tried before in history, always to the grief of the triers.

Comment: One pedo group to steal, buy, trade, groom, sell, and sometimes kill children. Another client buyer group (often wealthy and political) to bugger them and ensure the network of sellers are protected. While factions within intelligence agencies use them all to carry out their nefarious deeds, when they could arrest and clean house.
The status quo.
