response to the latest round of negotiations in the russia-ukraine-nato debacle.

I dont know about you guys, but a grand danois on a detour down in the yard, had a great take-away on the way home, from these last 3 rounds of impasse meetings;

1) we - just about any state to any alliance - got a new deterrence against coercion,

based on a call for sanctions, instead of relying on hard measures, against a bully.

2) continued negotiations towards a new intermediate nuclear missile treaty is a must,

if our most able eagle bro's in the wings, are to refrain from a proxy cuban warfarism.

3) our most able eagle bro's in the wings, might just end up bleeding themselves to death,

on multiple fronts of clandestine proxy wars, until they get down & gritty with a 3 euler!

Energy is currently at 4% of global gdp, going 2,5% in 2050, and defense will even out at a ceremonial 2% - which leaves us with strategic defense in the cross-hairs.

I know a reverse bissemarck or 2, who see an advantage in all these frozen conflicts - but they are locking themself out of all the other market sectors, some 95% of gdp!

So; if you really want to negotiate towards a level playing field, in a market which will lift all boats, our most able eagle bro's, will have to settle a strategic defense knot.

. . .

Acc to article 1, all people have the right to self-determination, which may cause a little tectonic plate-shifting, by thou parish ballot, and much to the UN's bewilderment.

After those settlements have occurred, continued cross-border trade with all thou neighbors, is the inevitable outcome - based on free licitation, by the local ballot-box.

If the strategic defense pundits in grey & green, could begin by drafting yet another New Start, which must include the new intermediate missile systems in euro-asia --

and a guarantee for free access between all ports -- the merchant navy may continue its investigations for eligible market openings, based on fair & free licitations.

A rebranding of CSTO, into 1 of NATO's buffers,

with a hq in Moscow, is still a little far-fetched -

but it would solve a lot of our current problems,

in the mainland of europe, and away beyond.

Maybe France & Germany can ‘bring it on?

. . .

The above is neither peace in our time, molotov-ribbentrop, or the conference of tilsit 2.0 -

but it may as well set the entire northern hemisphere on a tremendous growth trajectory.
