Pres Trump Gets Phase 1 of Containing the Ukraine Conflict Signed

President Trump has accomplished getting Ukraine and Russia to agree to terms that reduce the scale of the war somewhat. It is called a partial cease fire. That is comparable to a partial silence; an oxymoron yet meaningful in comparison to a reduction of noise level from a higher level.

Ukraine and Russia agree to keep their ships in neutral corners east and west of the Black Sea although Russia will have access to the Mediterranean via the middle and southern parts of that body of water through Turkey. Russia needs merchant ship access to the world to trade food commodities since the U.S.A. is lifting several sanctions on Russian agriculture and food related trade. Ukraine agreed not to use ships to bring weapons to Odessa and the south shore of Ukraine.

Each side won't attack energy facilities for thirty days, although since Russia began its cease fire on Ukraine energy sites a few days earlier the 30 days for each art occur on a slightly different schedule/

This is all good news. Maybe hungry Africans will get some food relief and American farmers may have better export markets indirectly lowering the cost of bread in the U.S.A. if farmers won't under-plant worried about poor export markets for surplus grain (a theory of mine).

Trump-Zelensky Cease-Fire Deal is a Way to Extend the War

 President Trump seems as if he is moving closer toward the Von Biden point of view of the Ukraine conflict. That is he has made a cease-fire proposal entirely advantageous to Ukraine. It would give Ukraine 30 days to receive new military equipment and cash from the U.S.A. and stop Russia from continuing its advance to recover lost land lost in Ukraine in the Clinton carpet-bagging regimen.

In order to stop the war firm border lines need to be drawn, sanctions ended and a demilitarization of Ukraine need evolve. With those conditions established and agreed upon by the principle parties a cease-fire could be applied and the peace treaty actualized.

Common sense was President Trump’s approach to global economics in regard to Ukraine. Unless the peace treaty is produced within a few months further harm to the global trading position of the United States may occur.  The U.S.A. is already number two in world trade exports; its share may drop further minimizing markets abroad while China's exports increase favorably. Germany signed new agreements with China and several European nations have signed new agreements with several South American nations. Meanwhile U.S. leadership is discovering new ways to make an enemy of Russian and serve as Europe's militaire attardé.

President Putin may have his own ideas about what conditions need exist for a peace treaty. A cease-fire without a peace treaty is a way for the losing party in a boxing match to get out of a round where he is taking a beating to recover and strategize for the next round. In other words it can be a tool for protracting a war.

Perhaps President Trump has a plan B that he will give to the Russians after they reject the cease-fire agreement. Sometimes it is challenging to discern what is political perfidy and what is part of a negotiating tactic. Observers like to get to the real content sooner rather than later.

Zelensky May Offer Comedian's Cease Fire Tomorrow

Starmer and Zelensky may announce a comedic cease fire for propaganda purposes tomorrow wherein Russia and Ukraine stop all air, sea and energy facility attacks for a month so Ukraine can have the opportunity to rebuild its military infrastructure for war that was devastated by Russia. Then the Axis powers will deploy tens of thousands of trooper-peacekeepers in Ukraine so they can spearhead attacks on Russian held areas when the cease fire ends.
