Are these subtle changes in tone a sign for possible hope? Over the past days, Kremlin speaker repeatedly had missed demands and phrases that before were invitably part of the propagandistc barrage of demands. But recnrtly, "Denazificaiton" and "de-militarization" have been dropped for the verbal bombardement. And a few hours ago Zelinski ndicated he may be willing to negotioate about neutrlaity of the Ukraine if the US and Turkey and neighnourign countries guaranmtee its natioanl soverignty and integrity and Russia must recognise these.
And now this:
Russia says it is not seeking a change of power in the former Soviet republic with its war against Ukraine. The goal is "neither the occupation of Ukraine, nor the destruction of its statehood, nor the overthrow of the current leadership" under President Volodomir Zelensky, says Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, according to the state agency Tass in Moscow.
A slow, subtle chnage of tones, ohrasings, and messages.
The world is sitting on a slide towards global desaster,a nd even a nuclear war is not off the table. And hope is no strategy, i say that myself often enough. Nevertheless: lets hope this means something.
But one should not forget the lessons from Syria where the Russians lied and lied and lied and lied and lied, over escape corridors to poltical goals. Lies, lies and more lies.
Meanwhile the German economy minister wanst to rule out extension for the runign time sof the remaining nculear reactors over here. He claims the legal obstacles were not to overcome, personnel could not be had, and experts tell him it cvnanot be done. But experts and runnign comnpanies insist that nothign nof that is true and that it abslutely could be done. With the lectricity form these, both idniustrial produciton as well ass electrioty-based heating could be maintained. But it is satan's most malicous child: nuclear energy, so it should not be: to please a single party'S ideological DNS that is more important than the common interest or the solving or cataclysic problems in the present.
Experts even say that the kjust switche dof powerpalnts could be reactivated again, that they are not yet emptied of their fuel, and the specialied experts and employees would be willing to come back to run them and work in them. But Habeck knows it better and says he knows it cannot be done. It cannot be what according to Green ideology should not be.
Experts also have severla times said now that the govenrment's claims an immediate stop of gas imports cannot be maintained, are wrong, and that Germany could shoulder this, althogh it would be an effort and wopuld be expensove. The greens do not want it for one reaosn, i stroingly suspect: if this is beign done, there no more manouvering space left for years to come for their beloved hobby of redesigning both energy and society according to their agenda.
They still prefer to burn Ukrainian blood in German ovens instead. Nice deja-vu, isn't it. Once again the Germans show that despite their claim they have not learned from their past - once again they directly assist the wrong side in a conflict like this. With every day, the import of gas and oil by Europe spills around one billion Euros into Putins war treasure chest. We could as well send him ammo and do some of the killing and bombing ourselves.
The UK wanst to wait with ending their imports until end of this year. Well. Not really a compliment either. The US has ended it, but I read nowhere so far when the ban starts. However, they import just 7-8% of their oil from Russia, so are not as depending.
I am totally enraged about this, since days. Its outraging. We all still pay Putin'S war day for day, around 14 billions since the bombing began. We directly financially support the war of Russia.
