Far more likely we will see the Sixth Republic than Russia retreat from Ukraine. My brother who resides near Geneva tells me the situation in France is dire. Maybe its time to make nice with Putin before he is replaced by someone who will negotiate nothing but total victory.

The 6th Republic is not for now in France, but who knows, you never know what the future will be made of.

Dire? I wouldn't go that far. The situation is difficult, but it is like everywhere else in Europe.

At the political level, the main problem is that we have an assembly without an absolute majority, and so the French politicians are trying to learn the meaning of the word compromise... But as they are obstinate and do not want to make any, we could indeed go straight into the wall.

The inability to compromise and reach a reasonable solution to geopolitical issues continues to fill the graveyards of Europe. Among the denizens of the Kremlin Putin is a moderate and his replacement is likely to wage total war risking a nuclear catastrophe and the handing over of Russian natural resources to the CCP. In 10 days there is the possibility the Obiden Junta will be handed an electoral defeat that will place Trump in the Speakers seat where a negotiated peace between the parties will release Europe from economic catastrophe and obstruct the Emperor Xi's plans to seize Russia's resources.
