Now Putin is faced with all of Europe organizing to support the West's proxy war against Russia by purchasing US weapons and supplying the weapons to Ukraine.  Trump and Germany have signaled that the next widening is to attack Moscow with missiles.  

Apparently Russians still haven't learned anything.  Ivan Timofeev, the program director of the Valdai Club, says that "We're close to the war nobody wants but everyone's preparing for."  He is wrong.  Israel wants America at war with Iran.  Zelensky wants Europe at war with Russia. The Zionist neoconservatives want more  color revolutions to set at war with Russia.  The CIA wants to weaken BRICS by setting India and China against one another.  

Putin himself has done more to guarantee future conflict by refusing to use sufficient force to end the conflict in Ukraine before it widens out of control.

Timofeev actually believes, God help him, that Trump has pushed for peace in Ukraine.  How can Trump push for peace when the military/security complex needs the Russian enemy, without which its budget and power are reduced?  Trump has not repudiated the Wolfowitz Doctrine of US hegemony. Trump has not met with Putin.  As the Ukraine conflict is Washington's proxy war  with Russia, only Trump and Putin can resolve the conflict.  

Trump has made no attempt to resolve it. He has passed it off to Zelensky, who cannot resolve it, because it is Washington's war.

The Western world has not heard a word that Putin has said.  Putin said, repeatedly, that the war cannot be resolved unless it deals with the root cause, which is the absence of a mutual security agreement.

The West has made it perfectly clear that it does not want a mutual security agreement with Russia.  What else explains Washington's use of the conflict to expand NATO into Finland and Sweden, to militarize Moldavia, to stir up trouble in Soviet Central Asia against Russia?

It is extraordinary that one never sees, with the exception of Sputnik journalist Ekaterina Blinova, any intelligent analysis from a Russian commentator available in English. No doubt there is Russian discussion that is kept from us.
