Resolved on Russian terms

Editor's note: The Russians could care less what the Americans are planning for Ukraine including this recent ridiculous idea the incoming Trump administration will end Russia's SMO into Ukraine in "24 hours." The Americans think this is some sort of business plan and they can end it "according to a business schedule they set." The commercial proxy war on Russia led by Britain will end when Russia has completed what it set out to accomplish two years ago: De-Nazify the criminal place - on Russia's terms and nothing less. The Ukrainians with US manufactured ATACMS missiles and with US tacit approval and guidance launched attacks inside Russia. Do people seriously think the Russians will say, "Sure thing, we will end this is 24 hours?" Trump needs to talk to the 34 countries at war with Russia politically, economically, culturally and militarily and not Russia. This war of attrition against Russia is only going to end very badly in ways the west cannot foresee.

WHAT HAPPENED TO 24 HOURS? Trump Team Now Aims to End Ukraine War in 100 Days, Mearsheimer Says Fat Chance

Russia is in the driver's seat and will insist on demands the incoming president will find politically challenging to agree to

During the 2024 Presidential Campaign, Donald Trump ran as a peace candidate for Ukraine and vowed that he would magically be able to end the war in 24 hours.

He did not provide any details because the Presstitute media didn’t need any explanation, but his lack of clarity raised some suspicions for the independent media that did not seek an invitation to Mar-a-Lago for a free vodka tonics. (We make our own.)

 

But reality seems to be setting in.

Keith Kellogg, the pro-Ukraine hawk Trump tapped as his special envoy on the Ukraine conflict, told Fox News that he gave himself a self-imposed goal to resolve the conflict within 100 days — not quite the 24 hours candidate Trump promised, but still respectable, considering the war started 1,051 days ago and then the fact that there have been essentially no negotiations to end the conflict since Boris Johnson whispered in Kyiv's ear.

Kellogg didn't explain how he would accomplish such a feat, and there are doubts about his chances.

John Mearsheimer, the University of Chicago professor, said in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano that he does not believe Kellogg will be able to deliver on his promise. 

"He can't, in my opinion," Mearsheimer said. "The Russians are in the driver's seat – the Russians – for a good strategic reason from their perspective – are driving a hard bargain, and it’s almost impossible for me to see President Trump accepting the terms that the Russians demand. And, therefore, I don't think this is going to be settled in 100 days."

Polyakova's Foreign Affairs report noted that Konstantin Malofeyev, a Russian oligarch who has close ties to the Kremlin, told the Financial Times that he also thinks Kellogg's plan is DOA.

"Kellogg comes to Moscow with his plan, we take it, and we then tell him to screw himself because we don't like any of it," he said.

Alina Polyakova, who works for the Center for European Policy Analysis, wrote in Foreign Affairs that Kellogg recently tried to get the ball rolling on negotiations by warning Ukraine that a Trump White House will stop weapons support if it does not agree to negotiate with Russia; Kellogg also informed the Kremlin that Trump would increase the weapons flow to Ukraine if Moscow refuses to negotiate.

There is no confirmation Moscow has agreed to anything including meeting with Trump. These are western sources reporting this and not Russian sources:

For the most part American policy planners including the military are ignorant about Russia and they prove this over and over again:
