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.

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.
