Russia Ukraine war

Yes. Fully agree. The US is not interested in negotiating, because they are giving Zelensky a false hope about a military defeat of Russia, which would result in a complete withdrawal of the Russian troops from Ukraine. This scenario does not require negotiations, if the above mentioned outcome is reasonably expected to be achieved. The US and Ruski cooperated in the past when deciding how to carve up countries. Quite hypocritical the Yanks are. Korea is a perfect example.

In 1945 in Washington, US Colonels Dean Rusk and Charles H. Bonesteel III were assigned to divide Korea into Soviet and US occupation zones and proposed the 38th Parallel as the dividing line.

"There is something important to recognize about the Cold War: It was not ended by the U.S. government. Instead, it was ended by the Soviet Union. If it had been up to the U.S. national-security establishment, the Cold War would have gone on forever because it is the best racket in U.S. history, one that continually expanded the tax-funded largess, power, and influence of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA.
In a sense, the U.S. national-security establishment considered the Soviet Union’s unilateral decision to end the Cold War a betrayal. The Soviets weren’t supposed to do that. The supposed international communist conspiracy to conquer the United States that was supposedly based in Moscow was serving as a fantastic boogeyman that was used to frighten the American people into supporting the continuation of the Cold War racket.
There is something else to recognize about the Cold War: For the U.S. government, it really never ended. They weren’t about to let the Reds dictate the end of their racket. They were bound and determined to figure out some way to keep the racket going.
That’s what keeping NATO around was all about, along with the gradual absorption of former Warsaw Pact countries (without the express approval of Congress), which enabled NATO forces to get closer and closer to Russia’s borders."

Ukraine will do any negotiating that gets done and no-one will do it on their behalf , nor should they !

US and NATO can give advuice , express opinions but that's as far as it goes ... Ukraine is determined and won't come to negotiations easily because they don't want their land stolen from them ...not Zelensky ...Ukraine !
