Scholz reminisces about how Putin tried to persuade him that Ukraine ”belongs” to Russia

1. From the article:

   The Kremlin leader also told his German guest about the “Nazi regime in Ukraine”.

   “To say that when the president is Jewish… Imagine how absurd and shameful that explanation is to justify the war,” Scholz said.

2. >Among other reasons for the war, Putin said that “Ukraine is heading towards NATO”. ***Scholz said he had told Putin plainly that “this is out of the question for at least another 30 years”.***

3. I don’t believe that any country that is a member of the UN “belongs” to any other country.

   By being a member of the UN Russia acknowledges that, too. If they don’t accept that basic principle then they need to pull out of the UN and take their veto with them.

4. Everybody including Putin knows it does not “belong” to Russia.

   Concluding the war in a non-military manner would require all the puppeteer countries to be honest… and that just can’t happen. Nobody will oppose their ruling classes sufficiently.

   That said, screw Russia since they are worse than the West, by landslides. But all have their hands dirty unfortunately.
