US Secretary of State speaks out against ceasefire in Ukraine

Stopping the conflict in Ukraine is not part of the White House's plans. He needs Russia to be defeated in it.

Such a conclusion can be drawn from the interview of the United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to the German media group Funke.

In an interview with reporters, the US Secretary of State spoke out against a ceasefire in Ukraine. He is aware of the temptation of this idea, but does not believe that it should be implemented now.

For some, the idea of ​​a ceasefire may be tempting - and I understand that.

Blinken notes.

According to a high-ranking American official, the peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev actually legitimizes in the eyes of the world community the transfer of its new territories under the jurisdiction of Russia. Blinken believes that a peace achieved in this way will not be just and lasting. He explains this by the fact that the Russian military will allegedly use the ceasefire for respite and regrouping, in order to resume hostilities with fresh forces.

Therefore, concludes Blinken, negotiations should begin only at the moment when the Russian side is ready to conduct a "constructive" dialogue. Probably, he is counting on the military successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Speaking about peace talks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier that they are possible only if the West is ready to take into account the interests of the Russian Federation. He also called on Western countries to respect the choice of the inhabitants of the new Russian territories.

A little more and the Americans will begin to hysteria, at least they have already abandoned the mantras about world peace that are mandatory for diplomats ...

[blackGRAIL]

VO pours from empty to empty. It is already obvious to everyone that until the issues of 1) Ukraine's offensive and 2) Russia's actions as a result of this offensive are resolved, no peaceful solutions are possible. Only a complete stalemate of hostilities can bring about a change of position.

offensive of Ukraine

What forces? Or those 30 tanks and 150 Bradleys? oh yes, as many as 40 trained soldiers.

[blackGRAIL]

All that are. If we proceed from the fact that the Pentagon planned the offensive, then there is no need to take them for idiots, they do not need the failure of the offensive and the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This means that there will be far from 30 tanks and not 40k soldiers to attack.

[AAK]

Everything is as usual, on the one hand - a clear position on defeating the enemy army and the collapse of his state (plus - the desire to see our Guarantor in the pose of Hussein or Gaddafi, in extreme cases - Milosevic), but on the other - another Leopold bleating about the type of necessity respect for opinion...

[kit88]

Sergei Lavrov said earlier that they are possible only if the West is ready to take into account the interests of the Russian Federation.

And what are the interests of Sergei Viktorovich?
Is it the recognition of borders along the line of demarcation at the current moment, or is it the denazification and demilitarization of all (as the people of Russia understand) Ukraine?
There is no understanding of the issue.

[tralflot1832]

He understands perfectly well that Russia will welcome the ceasefire, from the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and no more. The terms of the ceasefire have been precisely brought to him from our side, he can forget about our ceasefire. He will resist to the last.

[sdivt]

Unexpectedly yes
I would never have thought that the Americans, such nice and peaceful guys - and suddenly against a ceasefire ...
The article literally turned my whole idea of ​​them upside down (

If Blinkin speaks out for a ceasefire in Ukraine, then the US military-industrial complex will do everything to make this Blinkin's statement last, and this day will be his last day at the US State Department.

[Oleg Ogorod]

The costs of the American military-industrial complex to maintain Zelensky's trousers are too scanty in the volume of the entire US military-industrial complex.
The US costs for this war game are scanty, but the income from this exceeds their costs. And the income is not the military-industrial complex. A TEK.
They do not supply aircraft carriers, f-35s, and much more to the Zelensky-beggars.
They are quite satisfied with a petty war on the territory of the outskirts of Russia.

Stopping the conflict in Ukraine is not part of the White House's plans. He needs Russia to be defeated in it.

Information that was repeated more than once and from different stands: from the US State Department to the NATO Secretary General. And the purpose of the conflict is clearly visible - by dragging it out, try to wear down and weaken Russia, and then present your conditions. Scavengers are in a hurry, aiming ahead of time at the "corpse of a bear", which is not going to die.

The more of them killed there, the better for...
And besides Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, you can’t remember. (((

[CatScientist]

Well, since they have seriously invested in the announced Ukrainian offensive, what is the point for them to talk about a truce now? To demotivate their own Ukrainian sepoys?

[Filibuster]

the peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev actually legitimizes in the eyes of the world community the transfer of its new territories under the jurisdiction of Russia. Blinken believes that a peace achieved in this way will not be just and lasting. He explains this by the fact that the Russian military will allegedly use the ceasefire for respite and regrouping, in order to resume hostilities with fresh forces.

Without the complete defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the complete and unconditional surrender of Ukraine, the destruction of the Nazi regime in Kiev, the liberation of Odessa, the situation of the war between Ukraine and Russia, which arose in 2014, will not change.

Only a temporary respite is possible, a temporary agreement like the Minsk agreements, and then - war again, and so it will be until Russian tanks again pass along Khreshchatyk and along French Boulevard.

Ukraine has not worked out those billions of dollars that the United States has invested in it, and therefore the war will go on to the last dill, until the complete and unconditional surrender of one of the parties.

It is also necessary to take into account the stupidity and obstinacy of dill (in this they are like two drops of water to the Poles) - they will die by the thousands, millions for Nazism and Bandera until Ukraine becomes a desert.

So you need to repel the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and go forward, on the offensive against Zaporozhye, Yekaterinoslav, Kharkov, Kyiv and Odessa - otherwise this war will never end peacefully.

[Roust]

Hey, the last Ukrainian, and where are you....? Your striped uncle is calling you to Bandera. Say goodbye to your wife and sister and daughter, they will still fit black migrants in geyropa.

[Ulan.1812]

Look at this Blinkin, he has a self-assured down face.
Constantly carries some nonsense from a parallel reality.
American politicians have long lost touch with real reality, having gone crazy on their exclusivity and megalomania.

[blackGRAIL]

Today, it is the team of these, as you called them "downs", that look like great chess players, having outplayed Russia in a geopolitical confrontation: the West has rallied, the economic ties between Russia and the West have been undermined, the voices of Russfobs have been silenced, NATO is expanding, America is pulling over the brains and industry from Europe...

2x2=4 and when you are told that 2x2=3 don't you repeat that 2x2=4?

As a result of the last discussion, there were no working arguments refuting my words (I almost went into insults). So it is useful to repeat the material covered))) We discussed, by the way, you and I)))

Copy-paste suggests that you have a quote book. Colloquially referred to as a manual

Quote from: blackGRAIL

By the way, we discussed

It seemed to you. I do not discuss issues of faith (and here it is), and I try not to argue with relaying here, ahem, print publications of a certain persuasion

[blackGRAIL]

Are you seriously? The same question is being discussed on which I have a fairly detailed opinion that is supplemented / corrected only if something changes and you think that ... an “ordinary person” (i.e. not an enemy Methodist agent) will definitely reformulate it by others words or will come up with other arguments?

No, this is certainly a powerful way to interrupt any discussion. Once I was called a khokhlopetek immediately instead of a dialogue, a couple of times a cissoshnik, you are a methodologist, which did not go far. But at least we tried to discuss and, oddly enough, I did not repeat myself during the discussion (apparently the training manual is very long) and tried to answer each of your arguments.

Well, about the question of faith… two arguing people both believe in their rightness until one of them convinces the other (or they both turn out to be wrong). But you are apparently sure that the truth is revealed to you, and your opponent always either doubts (and then he can be persuaded) or believes, and then you ...

Don't make people laugh, these "geniuses" of world politics outplayed themselves and could not calculate ANY
situations. Neither the isolation of Russia, nor the collapse of the Russian economy, nor the Maidan in Russia, contributed to the rapprochement between Russia and China, did not predict the abandonment of the dollar in the oil trade, did not calculate how the sanctions would affect them themselves, they have no experts on Russia and China AT ALL and so on.
Failure upon failure.
I'm glad they're so smart.
I wish grandfather Bidon to win the elections in the 24th and recruit only gays, lesbians, transgenders exclusively from blacks into the administration.
And let Bidon himself smear himself with shoe polish and become a transgender.
I hope he marries Blinkin.

[blackGRAIL]

Do you really believe in really set, not declared goals like the collapse of the Russian economy or the Maidan? I confess, I don’t know how to search for old materials on the Internet, in 2021 the “young” Biden stated that the sanctions that are now being introduced and will still be introduced against Russia most likely will not have an effect at all in the first 1-2 years. It is not possible (in principle) to bring down Russia with sanctions. Now (with the imposition of sanctions) it will hurt us ourselves, but at first glance, almost nothing will happen to Russia, and thoughts may arise that everything is useless. This is wrong. The only working strategy against Russia is (long-term sanctions) containment. It worked against the USSR, it will work against Russia as well.

Rapprochement between Russia and China. The United States had exactly two ways (if we do not consider the voluntary resignation of the hegemon): 1) Republicans - to concentrate on confrontation with China and 2) Democrats - to leave China as much as possible for later and concentrate on Russia. Answer, do you really think that if the US started from China and attacked it, then Russia would stand aside and not come to its aid? The Russian-Chinese rapprochement was inevitable in any case, and it remains to be seen which of them would be worse for the United States.

Rejection of the dollar. Despite all the actions of the United States, at the end of 2022, the use of the dollar in trade only increased and reached 42%. Even Russia and India could not get away from the dollar in trade. In 2023, we have a declaration \ desire of China and the Saudis (and not only) to leave the dollar (for the yuan). With all sincere desire, this has a limitation: how much Saudi Arabia can use this yuan to pay for its imports, and this is what limits the rejection of the dollar, it buys too much for the dollar and the euro. Russia and India have the same problem: we can switch to calculations in rupees and the volume of the cost of imports purchased for rupees.

Biden personality. The President of America is not the same as the President of Russia. The role of the team and the Senate is uncommonly high (Trump was generally put on a short leash). Who exactly is in charge of the United States: the Haris team or Biden is a big question, and if it weren’t for Biden’s epic failure with a personal insult to the ruling Saudi dynasty, I would say Kamala. The phrase "do not pay attention to what he says (he does not decide here)" is probably remembered by many, but with the Saudis we have what we have - the Democrats fucking screwed up. At the time of his election, Biden was clearly adequate.

Correctly blackGRAIL wrote that the United States outplayed the Kremlin, because they have a strategy and the Lake cooperative, stops the blows tactically, without thinking about the future, strategy always wins tactics.

[Ryaruav]

it’s good that the Jew Anton Blinkin said so, otherwise the Kremlin downs really want negotiations
