DJ, A group of countries in a "coalition of the willing" may be working on a "plan B"...IF UKraine is collapsing move in western "peace keepers", western intervention...A first group (UK, France, NL, DK, Baltic states, Poland, ...also Finland, Canada ?) getting in an open war with Russia in UKraine may "pull" the US in such a war...
There are US-Russia talks..However the "gap" ( in many ways) may be much to wide.
The US wants to remain the global dominant player and believes it can "beat" Russia-Iran AND China...stopping BRICS+
The BRICS+ view is "we are already the number 1" in many ways...We do NOT need either the US or the US$...Both Russia and Iran see themselves at war with the US...There is NO point in making deals with (this) US to find out the US just as easy makes deals as break them...
US to Send $10,000 Checks to EACH Greenlander to Allow the US ANNEX Their Land
DJ, On one side Europe/Canada may escalate the UKraine war...while it was the US that pushed NATO expansion into UKraine, Georgia since the 1990's...now leaving it to others to fight that fight...
On the other side it is the US going AGAINST European/Canada interests...From Greenland to breaking (by trump) of the Iran deal, US blowing up Nordstream, seeking war with even China...
Non US "west" has a problem with the "R" (Russia) in BRICS+ may however do well with "BICS+"....While the US has a problem with all of BRICS+...wants US$ dominance over the € and £...
trumpf insanity has "the rest of the west" now moving towards "the rest" and away from the US...The present Europe/Canada "best politicians one can buy"-elite soon will be replaced...The billions that "elite" wants to spend on more war is getting the population poor...and for what ? To get the very rich even more rich ?
So the big ??? is timing. zelensky can not wait to see the "coalition of the willing" forces moving in...However such a step will NOT be welcomed in many of the coalition countries-already tired of a war/NATO expansion they NEVER wanted...(again it was an old US idea...).
And of course USrael war crimes changed the "picture"; Western propaganda-media were able to sell the "good war" idea of the UKraine neo-nazi's defending "freedom"...However killing Palestinians in the hundreds per day "is harder to sell"...And it is the same group of "politicians-for-sale" trying to promote the same wars...
