US Tells Ukraine Talks Don't Need To Happen After Milley's Diplomacy Push | ZeroHedge
According to a report from
Politico, the Biden administration has been reassuring Ukraine that peace talks with Russia don’t need to happen anytime soon after Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said this winter will provide an opportunity for diplomacy.
Milley said last week that Russia and Ukraine might recognize that victory “is maybe not achievable through military means, and therefore you need to turn to other means.” He expects fighting will slow down this winter, and
the moment for peace talks could be “seized.”
Citing unnamed US and Ukrainian officials, the
POLITICO report said that US officials have
conveyed to Ukraine that Washington was not trying to undercut Kyiv’s stated war goals of driving Russia out of all the territory it has captured. The US also said that just because there may be a pause in fighting this winter, that doesn’t mean peace talks need to happen.
Translation:
Stop with all this peace talks crap. I mean, we just wired $37B and there's still a lot more to launder where that came from. Whats the lives of a couple tens of thousands of civilians when there's real money to be made?
Hang in there,
Your pals Joe and Mitch
