That's a shame. Two Su-35s collide over Kursk.

Long but good.

Some further thoughts on the new round of peace negotiations with Putin over Ukraine.

Moscow is offering the United States not "peace in exchange for business," but rather "business in exchange for war." The Kremlin is offering Washington major Russian-American deals, access to… https://t.co/7L4ejannbu pic.twitter.com/8R4HfCvCpI

And therein lies the issue. Putin and his lackeys have laid out in no uncertain terms that victory is making Ukraine cease to exist as an independent nation. So, there's no way for him to spin compromise, good faith negotiation, ending the war in a way that doesn't leave Ukraine at their mercy.

So, what do you do? We keep trying to act like there's middle ground to be found at this point and Russia keeps explicitly saying that it's all or nothing.

You are 100% correct in the reality, so you have to find something on the perception side of things. Something that Russian propaganda can use, and they are masters at it.

- Say that Russia wanted full control because of the nazi threat and that has been neutralized over the last 4 years.

- Set up a multi-national task force that monitors nazi threats from reemerging and grants them "special" inspections.

- Create a special intelligence liason office for the Russians to communicate directly with the Ukes with a mission of identifying potential threats to Russia.

- Create a Putin Zelensky Peace Institute that functions like the Clinton Foundation and funnels their families a few billion each.

- NATO agrees not to allow Ukraine membership - increasingly meaningless anyway.

- Relax some Russian sanctions...will keep the oligarchy pressure off Putin. Strings can be attached to how money is unfrozen.

- Create a "rebuilding fund" contingent on Russia not supplying arms to Iran and Ukraine instituting some economic reforms that are capitalist-friendly.

- Make the deal expire if Putin dies of anything but natural death.

With a plan like that, very little actually changes, the power holders are paid off, and the whole thing costs us less than we are paying now. Plus we'd get some benefits as a country beyond weapons sales.

Ukrainian attack drones hit Russia's Saratov oil refinery this morning, setting it ablaze.
