Yet another insider Ukrainian source confirms that Russia and Ukraine reached a peace deal in Istanbul in April 2022.

For two years, Biden and Zelenskyy have been focused on driving Russia from Ukraine. Now Washington is discussing a move to a more defensive posture.

US foreign policy seems to be utterly irrational. The US gets into one disastrous war after another — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and Gaza. In recent days, the US stands globally isolated in its support of Israel’s genocidal actions against the Palestinians, voting against a UN General Assembly resolution for a Gaza ceasefire backed by 153 countries with 89% of the world population, and opposed by just the US and 9 small countries with less than 1% of the world population.

On December 1, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) hosted a forum by female lawmakers in Georgia who favored its integration into the European Union (EU) and embrace of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership, and who were fiercely hostile to Russia.
