[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

Yes, he's quite amusing. I think it's because he doesn't rely on any, you know, data. There are no graphs, no powerpoint, nothing. Just him talking. In front of a cave.
I actually like this kind of presentation style. It's not formulaic.

Indeed, the main presenters we, as a group, 'follow' all have different styles - it's good

True dat. I actually watched another video by him a few months ago. He certainly knows his stuff.

Is he by any chance hinting that Russia has a debt crisis?

The paper linked below, - may - constitute the guts of the peace deal put to Russia and Ukraine. Kellogg co-authored it in April, and has since been appointed as envoy.
A lot could still happen of course. I have only skim-read it.

Trump’s Ukraine envoy pick proposed forcing peace talks by withdrawing US weapons

In a co-authored document presented to Trump in April, Keith Kellogg also said US should give Ukraine more weapons if Russia didn’t join negotiations

linked paper:

America First, Russia, & Ukraine

Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine was an avoidable crisis that, due to the Biden Administration’s incompetent policies and rejection of the America First approach to national security, has entangled America in an endless war.

I suspect Trump thinks he’s gonna be able to “art of the deal” peace in Ukraine. He’ll offer up the deal of Russia keeping Donbas and Crimea. Threaten Zelensky with complete withdrawal of US aid if he doesn’t accept. Maybe threaten Putin with NATO involvement if he doesn’t accept on his end.

Both Zelensky and Putin will tell him to get bent and it’ll be another one for the gigantic broken promises pile.

Yep. Can't see Ukraine ceding territory and quite frankly, why the f*** should they? If Putin gets to keep what he stole, there'll be no lasting peace.
