Description

Mark Episkopos is an Eurasia Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and Adjunct Professor of History at Marymount University. Episkopos argues the window of opportunity for a peace agreement is closing fast, yet a peace is still possible. The gap is wide, but Ukraine is desperate as it is on the brink of collapse. The challenge is to link a Ukrainian peace agreement to a wider pan-European security agreement that ends NATO expansionism. Europe is a destructive spoiler seeking to prolong the war, although Europeans can be sidelined.

The greatest flaw in solving the Ukraine conflict is perception that the US is an objective mediator.

I don't know what Mark Episkopos has been smoking, but he needs to come off it in his analysis of Russia's current situation. Russia is not isolated. It has massively expanded its relationship with tbe Global South and BRICS. It has found America unreliable and two faced, it has found the Europeans, a la Minsk 2, similarly dupicitous . Russia has been learning that prosperity lies to the east and south. That the Europeans and Anericana tarrif and sanction themselves into recession is not a road that attracts Russia at all.

He lost me when he lied about Iran developing a nuclear weapon when we know this is an Israeli lie.

Listening to this Mark I start thinking, why is it so endlessly important that USA gets its will done all around & everywhere in the world. No issue is finished until USA has got what it wants, This is like unspoken given in every discussion ....

14:00 EU membership... EU has now declared its pursuit of military cooperation. How can Russia agree on no nato membership and than agree to EU membership. Seems like EU is working hard on making that impossible.

It is a pipe dream that Russia would accept this weapons in neighboring countries concept als Glenn mentioned. Although i believe Mark genuinely wants to solve this conflict the only thing he is doing is convincing me that Russia has no alternative then continuing the fight until NATO presence in Ukraine is completely removed.
