The long con
For three years now, we have followed the Kremlin’s machinations about peace. From issuing unrealistic ultimatums and rejecting Ukraine’s proposals, to undermining legitimate attempts to build momentum for peace, to deceptively portraying Russia’s brutality against Ukraine, to muddling the waters with empty PR stunts and lacklustre attempts to feign interest in peace. The Kremlin’s strange ideas for peace have always been designed to disguise that for Russia, peace means total capitulation of Ukraine.
Anyone who needs this reminder will stubbornly fail to be convinced, pretend to slightly misunderstand you, and use every whataboutism in recorded history.
They don’t want peace.
They want surrender.
Putin can have all the “peace” he wants. The grave is very peaceful.
