Whether or not there is a political solution to the Ukraine-Russia war depends on the U.S. From Andrew Korybko at theautomaticearth.com:
Putin’s Three Latest Appearances
President Putin strongly suggested in a series of appearances last week that a political solution to the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine is still possible. Those of his supporters in the Alt-Media Community who convinced themselves that the special operation won’t stop until Russian forces reach the Polish border are bound to be infuriated by this assessment, but it’s based on his own words as proven by the official Kremlin website. Here are the three appearances that will be cited in this analysis:
* 13 June: “Meeting with war correspondents”
* 16 June: “Plenary session of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum”
* 17 June: “Meeting with heads of delegations of African states”
What follows are relevant excerpts from each appearance along with a one-sentence summary of the point that he conveyed in each passage. After going through all three of them, the next subchapter will summarize President Putin’s envisaged end game to this proxy war. Finally, the last part of this analysis will then conclude with a few thoughts about the viability of his plans, which are arguably quite reasonable if one takes the time to calmly dwell upon them.
