Russia/Lavrov Outlines Three Conditions for Peace ... Land, no war crime charges, & no reparations

Lavrov just give us Donbas, Crimea, Zaporizhzhia (Maripoul) and Kherson then no war crimes trials add in no payments
for the damage caused by Russia in its war on Ukraine and its citizens.

***********

"Putting forward all sorts of ideas and 'formulas of peace,' Zelensky cherishes the illusion of achieving, with the help of the West, the withdrawal of our troops from the Russian territory of Donbas, Crimea, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson region, the payment of reparations by Russia, and the surrender of international tribunals and the like."

"Of course, we will not talk to anyone on such conditions," Lavrov added.

Who here doesn't think there is not a link between all the Russian Oligarchs falling out of windows

top secret documents?

Why are right wing politicians and their media trying to..

... spread C-19? Because that is exactly what they
are trying to do. I have no idea who the hate talker is but he is filling in for some mid day hate talkers. .... Buck and somebody .... and he just said "well, when you include the relatively low impact of the virus." .... Good God in Butter 14 million (real #s world wide) have died from it and 200 to 500 Americans are dying everyday from it right now.

So Trump told Putin he could have Mariupol and the Donbas if Putin put him into the White House ....

.... using Manafort's help? It wasn't just polling data but data analytics (or what could be turned into D.A.) that Manafort
gave Kilimnik and Manafort has admitted to doing so too.

And now remember that Manafort tried to flee America last spring but got stopped from getting on to
a plane to the UAE which has no extradition treaty with America. (I think)

And the republicans including McConnell (he was told by the Obama administration), Paul Ryan, Steve Scalise,
McCarthy all knew Trump was "Russian dirty," along w/all those GOP Senators who got Russian money via the NRA,
and somehow Fox News was player in that Russian mix too.

Best cold weather song ever Mandolin Wind .... Buffalo died, in the frozen fields you know

&t=1s

Oh the snow fell, without a break
Buffalo died, in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter, in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept your smile
Now I can rest assured, knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya

FYI I kid you not Republicans are now going through a conservative court in Louisiana to file ...

.... legal actions against President Biden because he is the President.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217482234

Please dear God I hope that somehow these actions can be declared frivolous and that the Republicans
are made to pay court costs and legal fees. ATTN Republican State A.G.s Joe Biden is President and with
that he has the power of the Presidency. BTW there is already thousands and thousands of acres that
are right now open to oil gas exploration and development but the oil companies which have the leases
aren't doing anything on that land.
