Points!


This is coolbert:

Peace hopefully Ukraine perhaps closer than we thought. 

Wilson [1918] had his Fourteen Points and now we have 2022 the Fifteen Points.

From Red State the article by streiff | Mar 16, 2022.

"Proposed 'Fifteen Point Peace Plan' in Russia-Ukraine War Is a Total Defeat for Putin, but Zelensky Is Biding His Time"

"Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative peace plan including a ceasefire and Russian withdrawal if Kyiv declares neutrality and accepts limits on its armed forces, according to five people briefed on the talks."

Fifteen negotiating points not explicitly mentioned. But the gist can be reasonably inferred? To include:

* "Russia withdraws its troops from Ukraine."

* "The Ukrainian armed forces will remain intact."

* "Ukraine agrees not to join NATO."

* "Ukraine is allowed to join the EU."

* "Ukraine can enter into bilateral 'security guarantees' with other countries ..."

* "Foreign troops cannot be stationed in Ukraine."

* "Foreign weapons systems cannot be deployed in Ukraine."

* "The Russian language is given official status within Ukraine."

CRIMEA STAYS RUSSIAN IN PREPETUITY UNCONTESTED BY THE UKRAINIAN.

Negotiated settlement satisfactory to both sides with terms seems quite reasonable to me. The alternative an endless and very destructive insurgency avoided. Lots of lives saved on both sides.

PLANTING TIME TOO JUST AROUND THE CORNER. GOT TO GET THAT SEED IN THE GROUND SOON. CLEAR THE HARBOR ODESSA.
