I can barely read your compilation of horror stories from Gaza.

Recently a book I had ordered arrived: The Israel Lobby. I have read maybe 3 pages so far, and those in the middle. The lobby apparently controls American actions towards Israel, to hell with what the American voters may want. America seems distracted by its goals for global dominance; maybe Russia will save us. Oh the delicious irony.

While I don't doubt that Seymour Hershs sources are telling him of these general to general 'negotiations' their premise is entirely flawed. Gerasimov can't negotiate a ceasefire or peace in Ukraine. Full stop. This is more US interlocutors speaking plans among themselves, convincing themselves that they can negotiate favourable terms with the Russians after their catastrophic defeat. Russia isn't interested in negotiations with Ukraine. Ukraine is a sock puppet. Russian terms have already been spelt out in the draft treaty terms prior to the SMO. Washington needs to come to the table and accept those terms in full. Russia will dictate what happens to Ukraine. Rump Ukraine won't be frozen to be pumped with weapons for a go around.
