Well, let me be the first to say; this is very good. .. albeit, I'm a bit like Capt. Kirk on the Starship Enterprise of journalism - I seek out new writers and boldly go where no brainwashed tongue-tied American has gone before.

Well organized highly relevant and appropriate content/sources. Fair, reasonable, rational, logical and authoritative arguments. Well done.

*>"In December 2021, Russia made their last efforts to negotiate with the West over Ukraine, their security concerns and the EU’s security concerns. Anthony Blinken rejected the offer for peace and claimed famously, “everything was on the table, including a hot war”.

I don't recall Sec. Blinken (or anyone else in the Biden cabinet) publicly responding *at all* to the 12.17.21 Russian Foreign Ministry's peace Proposal for European Security.

In fact, I have never found the Russian FM proposal referenced *at all* in western media .. . pro or con. It's like it doesn't exist.

(I only found it early last year through a translated copy posted on a Substack report)

I do vividly recall Sec. Blinken - along with Biden, Austin and Jens Stotlenberg - all saying exactly the same thing on Feb. 23, 2022: "If Putin's greatest fear is a strong NATO in Ukraine, that's exactly what he will get"

*Russia invaded the next day.
