Berletic provides us a handy timeline of events in Ukraine over the past quarter century:

As the US sends reps to meet Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia - keep in mind the cycle of US aggression against Russia, running into a brickwall, then seeking a "reset" to buy time for pursuing aggression that has played out before.

Below is a timeline of this cycle unfolding 2 full times since the end of the Cold War.

Please keep in mind Secretary Hegseth's comments about Western troops entering into Ukraine (freezing the conflict) while NATO expands its budget and the US-Europe expand military industrial production.

It is very easy to rule out America swearing off encroachment and aggression in general - since they are openly pivoting to China in the meantime to pursue identically unwarranted encirclement and conflict in Asia-Pacific.

When conditions favor the US, Russia will be back in the crosshairs.
