This decision was not officially commented on, but American media claim that this step is part of the negotiating tactics of the Trump administration.
Peacetalks: the general impression is that the Kremlin understand it will have to reach a compromise, but so far is trying to avoid it.

Here's my idea about a peaceful society :boost_ok: .

Way I figure it, whatever your -ism, you have to obtain three things:

1) Social equality - if your society has large wealth disparities or exclusion along social or economic lines, then it will not be peaceful.

2) Suppression of hateful and violent thought. I don't mean thought police, as such. I figure an anarchist society might also achieve this, it just requires a certain philosophical maturity from all participants. Thought comes before action. By the time people are acting on their violent ideas, it's already late in the game, and your society won't be peaceful again for a while. Shunning has always been an effective method for getting people to align with the demands of the collective.

3) Ecological mastery. This means to not cause ecological disasters, and to prepare against and recover from ecological disasters with great skill. If you cannot live in harmony with the world, you will live in conflict with the world, and then your society will not be peaceful.

Basically Freezepeach capitalism is the worst possible combination of features for ever having a peaceful society, making all three aspects impossible.

Please @ me.

You peace-loving cynical useful idiots, think more about the victims than the terrorists. Tomorrow there is a 3-year memorial for this boy who had his whole life ahead of him, a Ukrainian boy whose only “crime” was that he was Ukrainian and therefore must die. Long live the memory of ELISEY

"They [populists] become glued to the very thing they usually denounce - an outside, foreign force. And they cannot easily unstick themselves. The old lines lose their impact. The mainstream parties see a weakened #populist opposition. And they go in for the kill."

A political cartoon depicting three men sitting in a room. In the center is Donald Trump, portrayed as a puppet with strings attached to his arms and legs. The strings are being controlled by a larger figure above, resembling Vladimir Putin. Trump is seated between two other men; on his left is a man resembling Volodymyr Zelensky, and on his right is a man resembling J.D. Vance. The room is decorated with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the wall, several trophies on a shelf, and a seal on the table in front of Trump that reads "President of the United States." The cartoon is signed by the artist, de Adder, in the top right corner.
