Is the Purpose of the Peace Negotiations to Sequence the West’s Wars with Russia and China?

Paul Craig Roberts

President Putin’s National Security Advisor Nikolay Patrushev recently stated that, Ukraine negotiations notwithstanding, the West is “deploying their military machine against Russia and becoming delirious with nuclear apocalypse scenarios.” 

”For a second consecutive year, NATO is conducting exercises at our borders at a scale unseen in decades,” Patrushev said. “They are training for conducting a broad offensive from Vilnius to Odessa, seizing [the Russian exclave] Kaliningrad Region, imposing a naval blockade in the Baltic and the Black Seas, and executing preventive strikes on the staging locations of Russian nuclear deterrence forces.”

Reports are emerging from Russia that Putin wants a Ukrainian settlement so that Russia can prepare for a war that the West is bringing to Russia in three years when the British, French, Poles, and Germans are  prepared.  Putin wants to disengage from Ukraine in order to prepare for the real thing.    

If Israel succeeds in getting Trump to attack Iran, the timetable will be thrown off.  

Unless President Trump and the US Congress renounce US hegemony and declare America’s independence from Israel, no peace is possible.

I discuss with Nima on Dialogue Works whether the “peace negotiations” are a technique to move Russia aside while Washington takes on China:  https://www.youtube.com/live/9DqDUqoVZI0
