This might be what.pulls them out of the Fog of Propaganda.

One thing Russia MUST do in its part of any deal is eradicate the relics that are Soviet era sympathizers that plague their government and military ... no, I am not one of those Ukraine flag waving fags either ... I believe I've posted my opinion of that worthless shitstain Zelensky and his global DS buddies here a few times.

Many of Russia's bigger internal problems caused a very appreciable part of the mess in the Ukr/Rus war (again, Zelensky & the world wide DS are the bigger problem, but Russia isn't completely innocent). Putin knows who they are ... they're all exKGB. He will have the political capacity to make that happen as soon as dirtbag Zelensky and his enablers all over the world are FINALLY exposed as being nothing more than money grubbing thieves that had no problem with getting innocent people killed so long as the $$$ kept rolling in.

Russia must also make trade concessions with the United States (i.e. low tarrifs) and agree to work to become one of our biggest trading partners ... in part to pay back the $$$ we pissed away in Ukraine. We'd have access to all sorts of raw materials at low prices while Russia would have access to our markets for all sorts of things they desperately need ... win-win for both sides.

Our countries are natural trading partners ... and if people would learn more about Russians in general, their culture, and their whole way of life, they'd be completely fucking shocked as to how they're almost identical to most of us here in the USA (of course feasting on fish eggs (caviar) is a bit retarded ... and vodka sucks ... but, whatever :-P ... we can negotiate fixing that :-P ). I'm not trying to sound like some peace-love-dope hippy, but if you were to see various Russian communities/villages/small cities, you'd think you were in many parts of the American heartland albeit with a really different language :-).

One thing Putin could do is knock that fuckup that runs Turkmenistan either out or beat some sense into him (the country is basically North Korea) ... that prick gets filthy rich off the natural gas reserves there and builds white marble cities nobody lives in while the rest of that country suffers in poverty. That is not a USA problem ... it's a post-USSR problem and something Putin could address to help ease tensions/improve way of life in that area of the world without getting us involved ... it'd also help keep global natural gas prices lower.

Peace through fair trade will work wonders for this world. Trust but verify will insure it stays that way.
