Incidentally, it was dated 21 January, not 21 February as you claim, ie wasn’t said 3 days before the invasion took place.
Mea culpa – now corrected.
My guess is that Russia would be satisfied with a situation that froze the current line of control if this was offered. But it’s not, so it will continue to try to over-run more territory.
But your guesswork isn’t particularly reliable to be fair. 🙂
Fortunately a Russian invasion is not going to happen. It’s just sabre-rattling and rhetoric to back up diplomatic negotiations.

Hamas ‘mass rape’ claim lacks evidence. But it’s being used to justify genocide.

Settler colonial states have a terminal shelf life. Israel is no exception.
Mea culpa, t’was a sweeping generalisation.
However, many of those settler colonial states that do endure, including the United States, exterminated through diseases and violence nearly the entirety of their indigenous populations. Old World plagues brought by the colonisers to the Americas, such as smallpox, killed an estimated 56 million indigenous people over about 100 years in South, Central and North America. By 1600 less than a tenth of the original population remained.
You’re not much of a historian, Lizzie.
Fair point, but I don’t think anyone can be good at everything! 🙂
The Death of Israel
Settler colonial states have a terminal shelf life. Israel is no exception.
Israeli genocide in Gaza is a desperate bid to revive morale of settlers.
And the regime is turning to Western mercenary groups to back its onslaught on Gaza.
But the fact that the Israeli state can do these things is an indicator of its strength, not of its weakness or imminent collapse, don’t you think?
Wasn’t it Harold Wilson who said a week is a long time in politics?
In other words, a lot can happen in a very short space of time.Who do you see as the group agent that would have both the means and motive for wanting to dissolve the Israeli state?
The dynamics leading to and compounding state failure are many and varied, including civil war, ethnic violence or genocide, and predatory government and bureaucratic behaviour. State failure comes in degrees and is often a function of both the collapse of state institutions and societal collapse.
The depths to which the Israeli state is descending is further illustrated by the report below.
IS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH COVERING UP FOR ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE IN GAZA?

And, with posts with such links, you are not trying to change minds to get people to support the dissolution of the state of Israel? And succeeding?
You’re right, I’m not trying to change minds but simply playing a small part, along with others, in counteracting MSM propaganda and misinformation.
However, the dissolution of the state of Israel may well be ‘on the cards’; the establishment of your dream world most certainly isn’t.

What a pity capitalist society is not even more murderous than it actually is – think of all the many more leafleting opportunities it would provide!
And the many more corresponding failures to change minds!
Oh, for goodness sake, YMS. How do initials give identification of individuals ?
You’re letting this power role of Moderator go to your head and it’s causing you to become more and more autocratic.
Almamater was on the money after all.
Not an underplayed classic as such but one of the best TV ads of all time IMHO – plus a great riff from Stiltskin.
Also had a chat with a lady who seemed to remember an Iranian member of ours who did catering at conference, before my time(?)
I remember such a person during my very first encounter with the SPGB when I was a wee girlie – he was helping with catering at an event at Head Office.
He described himself as Armenian and was very friendly.
[Edited to remove initials, please don’t give identification of individuals – YMS, Mod].
