It Doesn't Matter.

The thing which many people still don't get--Russia negotiates for the sake of negotiations. I don't know how many times I have to explain this:

Ukrainian officials are expressing frustration as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner repeatedly visit Moscow but delay a promised trip to Kyiv. The hesitation reflects both stalled Ukraine-Russia-U.S. peace talks and Washington’s focus on the Iran conflict, raising concerns in Kyiv that U.S. diplomacy is no longer balanced. Polls cited in local analysis show most Ukrainians doubt U.S.-led negotiations will succeed, with only a minority viewing the U.S. as a reliable partner.

It was repeated by Russian side, including two days ago in Putin's call to Trump that ALL aims of SMO will be achieved. There will be NO "settlement", there will be capitulation either willingly or through full physical annihilation of 404 as a country. 

Meanwhile, POTUS--tell me this is AI? 

Per possible resumption of attacks on Iran. My take, after I recovered from Homeric laughter form Larry's description of the matter:

Donald Trump must have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night because when he departed the White House on Friday to head to Florida to give a speech at The Villages, geriatric community known for Sexually Transmitted Diseases, he thought he was a lawyer. Friday, May 1st, marked the day that he is required by the War Powers Act to seek Congressional approval to continue the war in Iran. But Trump, thinking like an ambulance-chasing attorney, announced that the war with Iran is over.

Is that you cannot put anything, including the most stupid and senseless thing, past this POTUS. Including, of course, a resumption of attacks and even "ground operations" with the force so inadequate for achieving any sensible results that it WILL result in heavy casualties for the US military. Well, what can I say--pop-corn time. 

On, And On, And On, And ...

 ... Story, never-ending stoooory (c) It is now turning into Waiting for Godot. He (it) IS NOT coming. 

WASHINGTON, March 6 — RIA Novosti. Washington expects progress in resolving the conflict in Ukraine in the coming weeks, US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Whitkoff said on Friday. "We continue to make significant progress as we work toward a peace agreement that ends the war once and for all. Discussions are ongoing and it is expected that additional progress will be made in the coming weeks," he wrote in social networks X.The day before, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov, commenting on the negotiation process, stated that there was some progress on humanitarian issues. So, at the end of last month, Moscow and Kiev exchanged the bodies of dead servicemen, and yesterday and today they handed over 500 prisoners of war to each other.

It is akin to Trump demanding an unconditional surrender from Iran. Boy, these people are delusional. So, when even this dumbfuck gets it:

Hello, Mr. Hegseth, how's your Armageddon going, did you read your Book of Revelation recently from Scofield Bible?   

That sums it up pretty well. Look at this today's "ouch".

They are just warming up, those markets and for some reason no oil carrier took up US offer to "escort them" in Persian Gulf. Judging by the US air defense systems "performance", nobody takes them seriously. Plus, of course, those pesky Iranian unmanned boats. Per Russia providing recon and targeting to Iran. Hey, Russia is not a party to a conflict, wink, wink. Two can play the game, if you know what I mean. 

Oh No!! Not Again!! LOL))

Clarifications, sophistications, bullshiterations, denialations and things of this order, aka disclaimers))

One White House official noted that while Trump said he intended to meet with Putin as early as next week, it would likely be difficult to execute a meeting on that timeline given the negotiating that would have to be done, as well as the logistical hurdles. “The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the president is open to meeting with both President Putin and President Zelensky. President Trump wants this brutal war to end,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. A White House official said earlier on Wednesday that “the secondary sanctions are still expected to be implemented on Friday.”

But then again, Karoline is blonde, attractive and she studied news and politics (whatever that means) in college. She is perfect, wink, wink, for the job. Per NYT--as I stress all the time, even in the times of crises, don't use this rag for wiping your ass, you may get brain cancer anally. 

P.S. Good Lord, CNN is trying to report the news!

Witkoff Just Finished Talking ...

 ... to Putin.
