Tentative Bravo
Earlier I presumed that Zelensky had to be our SOB, because he was elected and not assassinated.
Might have been a bad presumption**. While we are still engaging in years of pointless incomprehensible wrangling about one meaningless phone call between Trump and Zelensky, the
real Zelensky is serving his own people. In a meeting today with Putin, Merkel and Macron, he agreed to carry out a ceasefire and other steps to end the war and reunite Ukraine. The terms
had been proposed several years ago in a similar meeting with Poroshenko, but Poroshenko was unquestionably our SOB. He didn't take any of the steps.
This agreement also moves Merkel and Macron considerably away from NATO/US aggression, and toward the sane side of the world.
Tentatively, Bravo! But still watching for signs of fakery.
** I start with the presumption that Manweller's Rule (elections aren't allowed to change things) is universal, but it really isn't. There are countries where Manweller doesn't apply, and there are heroic rulers like FDR and Orban and Putin who take charge, fully subdue Deepstate, and temporarily invalidate Manweller.
