Re <<classic neoliberalism at work>>

Yes, yes, I remain agnostic.

Some questions

(1) Had the Minsk Agreement been implemented would we be here today?

(2) Surely there is no doubt that the Minsk Agreement was done at the barrel of a gun?

(3) Should Russia not be concerned about Russian security vis a vis the EU / Nato?

(4) Should EU / Nato not be concerned about EU security vis a vis Russia?

(5) Should USA not be concerned about USA security

(6) Has pax-Americana been good for all?

(7) Did Zelensky do his best for Ukraine?

(8) Would any other strong Russian leader have done different than what Putin did, ordering troops to cross border?

(9) Would any other USA / EU leaders have disbanded NATO?

(10) Did USA / EU / Nato do rug-pull on Ukraine, having guided Ukraine up to rattling Russia, and then left Ukraine to fight alone?

(11) Will Russia lose the hot war?

(12) What is the USA / EU MSM wanting us to believe?

(13) Is the war in truth between USA and Russia, in fact between EU and Russia, and in detail between Ukraine and Russia?

(14) Does Russia need another set of Minsk Agreement from Ukraine under Zelensky?

(15) USA, EU, UK, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Turkey, … Russia are not in meaningful positions to broker any temporary ceasefire, never mind lasting peace, because all are players in the conflict and all suspect. If so, is the planet on autonomous loitering trajectory?

(16) In theory China can broker a peace, but as China can neither guarantee Russia security, nor underwrite EU / USA safety, how can China broker any agreement amongst the belligerents especially when some of the belligerents are not even staking openly at the table but acting through proxies?

(17) China requires resource security, and market tranquility, in that priority. Has USA been positioning and is threatening both, as well as intervening in the Chinese civil war?

(18) Does Russia provide China overland resource security, China’s top-most concern?

(19) Did not USA state intention to keep China poor, backward, and contained, by Cold War 2.0?

(20) Separation of EU / USA markets from China production would prove a huge, or as the Trump would intone, ‘uge dislocation’, but would it be fatal and to which domain(s)?

(21) … and so here we are, as stated by Core Comrade Jinping to POTUS Biden, all about ‘bells’ and ‘clapping hands’ globaltimes.cn

"As two Chinese sayings go, 'It takes two hands to clap.' 'He who tied the bell to the tiger must take it off.' It is imperative that the parties involved demonstrate political will and find a proper settlement in view of both immediate and long-term needs," Xi said.

(22) Some ‘other’ views, for those who prefer to remain agnostic
