It was soon revealed that Russia wouldn’t be invited to this conference

What do they hope to accomplish?

Zelensky tells press conference: Our teams start from tomorrow on plans to hold a global peace conference in Switzerland

It is critical that work continues on methods used by Russia to bypass sanctions

We would want countries of the global south to be present at peace conference

We are open to all countries that respect our sovereignty and territorial integrity at peace summit

We would want China to be involved in our peace formula

Apparently they are trying to beg global south including China to 180 their position for no reason and become fellow compradors to USA.

It almost made a certain kind of sense when they thought their offensive would succeed. Like they’d brow beat Russia and then demand surrender on their terms, and countries supporting Russia would have no choice but to go along. However, now that their army is being crushed and western support is collapsing, this is just a complete farce.

Peace talks without Russia? With hopes of countries in the Global South and China to participate? This is just more lip service, no peace will ever come from this is the opposition is not present. I doubt the Global South and China will want to waste their time with this shit.

I think it’s pretty likely that there will be a military coup at some point and then actual negotiations on the terms of surrender will start.

The problem is who will coup them? The fascists depleated themselves pretty badly on one hand but surely part of all the weapons that disapeared has gonne to them, so supposedly they are armed with war grade weaponery. There is probably widespread anti-war sentiment among the people, so the coup could come from some kind of popular movement who want the war to end, but who would lead it? The communist party or a popular front containing them? Do they currently have the ability to do that? I’m sure they could agitate and recrute pretty fast under these circumstances but them being an illegal party and the leaders being in prison make it difficult I suppose.

I don’t know much about the political situation in Ukraine so those are just suppositions.

I would expect it would be the military that will coup the civilian government once they realize that the war is lost. Most of the ideologically aligned and motivated people are dead at this point. So, the morale within the military is pretty low, and the understanding that they’re just being used as cannon fodder for NATO is sinking in. I don’t think there’s any chance of communists getting in power there. What’s most likely is that Russia will install a puppet regime as part of the terms of surrender.

I’m wondering if Zelensky is trying to escape before some bullets find their way into his head.

If he is then I’m sure the Canadian government already has a nice mansion set up for him in Ottawa.

Lol. Imagine thinking you can have a peace conference that doesn’t include the winning side. Yet another stunt just like the last failed “peace conference” aka West+vassals get together for a circlejerk. I expect even less of the global south to attend this one.

Fair, it’s been a farce all along, but now it’s getting to the point where even people in the mainstream are starting to realize it.

Of course the cockroaches come crawling back to China after they spit on the 12 point peace proposal that China put forward last year.

If Russia isn’t there, I don’t see the point.

I suppose they could be checking with their owners if they would be allowed to surrender/negotiate with Russia. In which case the answer is probably no.

Yeah, I think it’s mostly a vibe check for the owners.

Bro should’ve held it before the Israeli genocide. Now the west and Ukraine have burnt bridges with the Islamic world, already pissed China off and are demonising India and south Africa. He’s probably going to get lectured by someone.

I get the impression these people just live in an alternate reality.
