Guys! Guys! I’ve got it! - Here is how we plan the peace conference track!
- So first we take Selenskyjs hate tirade, which is still coined “Selenskyjs Peace formula” to this day. Those are five points. You know the one with “the enemy has to be beaten, and be punished, and pay, and leave” at its heart.
- Then we silently remove the parts that are so stupid it hurts (we need a world wide action force against all wars guys! Whos with me? Selenskyj thinks its a great idea!)”
- Then of course we pamper it up with the uttermost fluff, that “everyone will find easy to agree to”. Then we’e got 10 points. (Ok, some of the filler is really thoughtful and easy to agree on.)
- Then we openly state - guys, guys, this is the trick - we talk about this, and then when we all agree, we might invite russia - but only if it honors our plan!
- Then we coin that “the peace summit”
- Then we start to put out there the “Russia is trying to sabotage the peace”, “China is trying to sabotage the peace” propaganda - if anyone else in the world in terms of power brokers does anything about it
- Then we tell our partners (germany), that hey guys - we do this, so finally we dont have to react to other peace conference “offers” anymore - because look guys -- we have our own!
- Then we let slip into the open that “quality of partnerstates” was far less important than “quantity”
- Then we rebrand it as the “FIRST PEACE SUMMIT”, event though its the fifth meeting, because we really, really needed a restart conceptually - yet we still hold on to the initial points of the Selenskyj formula
- Then we let our ambassador slip, that we prevented russia to come, to get more countries to attend, because we really just wanted the public perception mojo
- Then we sell to the german delegation, that no - no, listen to us, this is just an open framework, so whatever countries will agree on, we’ll then use to pressure russia into peace talks
- By making sure, this framework is the ONLY one thats used in peace talks - ever, so noisy chinese - and brasilians, and -- just stop, because we’ve got a great plan here
- Which already mirrors EXACTLY the same propaganda BS that Kuleba put out there on one of the first press conferences on the sidelines of Davos in the first year, which is “guys - you can mount peace discussion efforts, if you follow the rules, guys!” With the rules back then being “contact lines cant be moved” and “the territorial integrity of Ukraine must be preserved”
Excuses are getting dumber by the day
- which every media outlet in germany ate up like effin cake, because “Selenskyj still looking for peace!”
- then you visit the east asian countries in a US friendly venue and get all sorts of “what the eff you you want us to do here” qustions from every reporter
- then as Selenskyj you tell them - guys, guys, this is really only about three very important fluff points, like nuclear safety, and food security (by now fluff, because exports are flowing, future projection not included in that thought), and humanitarian things, mucho importanto -- its just about that, so come and support us please!
- then you let slip, that you only talk about fluff, because thats the first conference after the restart, and you really want quantity, not quality - so you get “brand recognition”, and this isnt the Selensnkyj formual anymore
- then you contradict this by selling to the public that this is the next new and better second coming of what was previously the UN charta which “doesnt work”
- then congregations around the world are starting to act like you’re insane (about time, plus minus)
- then somehow, you tell to the german delegation, no - no, thats fine, because even though we insist, that this framework (and no other framework) is used for all future peace talks, but look --- its really “open ended” in terms of outcomes, because we will debate the points that sound to everyone like “russian capitulation” in the last two sessions, or maybe never, when we dont have international agreement, or the war interferes.
- And then when we have an international agreement amongst partners, and russia must accept it, we finally can have peace!
Also -- this is the “Peace formula”, which prevents all other peace talks, until we can achieve agreement under our peace framework, amongst 100 states internationally.
So of course this is a “peace summit”.
- Then you change the public PR to “this should lead to a peace summit” 15 days before the start.
And this ladies, and gentlemen is how you achieve just peace.
The german delegation has bought it - no quarrels about it.
- Oh, and what this does to the wider public -- well, thats what media is for, right?

Second issue with that DGAP meeting --
Ukraine not at all corrupt guys, you should really visit it, then it doesnt feel like, just another country at war, it feels like a country thats almost western and so full of hope!
Yeah great, guys - what about the drop outs from leading positions in the reconstruction conference framework, right before the conference? Where the second person leaving, made it sound like - maybe corruption still being an integral part of the rebuilding effort, at the state level… (Not my assesment, France 24 (Video here).)
Also you still know that there is economic data out there from before the war, right? Or that the main asset the Ukraine is forced to give out again currently as a security for loans is agricultural land. Or that the country is at war, or… I guess its nothing but potential, because you’ve got the NGO people talk to the stakeholders for the first time at the recent reconstruction conference in germany, right? Keep the spirit up! This is finally moving! (In terms of non energy intensive investments in the very west, I guess? Great earning opportunity! Russia will likely never get there. Reduce your risks! Make REAL money, invest in war reconstruction, during the war!)
There also was a third point, which I seem to have forgotten, but it was less important…
edit: Passend dazu hat sich die NZZ heute zu einem “Erklärt” durchgerungen:
edit: Had the wrong article referenced in here for the Kuleba press event. Fixed.
edit2: Die NZZ schreibt sich um diese Begebenheiten herum noch drei Szenarios von denen eines dann doch noch Erfolg ist. Muss man gelesen haben. (click)
