I was about to say, "How is this not international news on every channel??" anyways, AFP is the wire service -- internet says it is third biggest after AP and Reuters. his comments def step down from his Nato demand, if it ever was an actual demand, and still leaves plenty of wiggle room for him to promise Russia whatever and then go back on his word -- maybe become a defacto member of Nato without actually making it official? US/Nato could continue to pump all manner of weapons systems into what's left of Ukraine, then try to take back over the west at the right moment. the US goal is to just make sure we don't have any constraints put on us, which will have been accomplished, assuming the world still exists when this is all done. if he was so ready to fold, why did he feel the need to torture and kill and make suffer so many people -- Ukrainian, Russian, and others? was that the deal he had with the US? now the US is allowing him to half-renounce his Nato intention just to help keep him in power? because finding a new servant would be tough?
