99% chance it's just Russia once again going "we get to keep ALLLLLLL of this" and Ukraine going "Get out" and nothing happens.

Russia isn't even attending this one, so it's 100% just posturing. "We're willing to talk, why isn't Russia?"

I've learned enough Russian and Cyrillic during this war to know that that says "for victory" (with a non-Cyrillic Z for effect) and "glory to Russia"

There's never going to be any agreement on what constitutes "the line" in war because depending on who you ask there will be people who say that literally everyone in Russia or wherever is culpable or enabling and therefore valid targets, and then course more reductionist viewpoints, and no one will ever have the same opinion. As such and as it is, we can't really do anything about it so it's pretty pointless to Legal Eagle any of this stuff so don't bother trying to justify or finger wag.

In other kind of weird news:



White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is expected to attend peace talks on the war in Ukraine next week in Saudi Arabia, US officials said.

Ukraine is taking the lead on the effort which is expected to be attended by Western countries and developing nations. Russia is not expected to attend the talks.

Ukraine’s goal is that the talks work to identify shared principles for ending the war and that there is a peace summit later this year with global leaders signing up to support those principles, US officials said.

The talks hosted in Saudi Arabia are the second in a series of meetings organized by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak. The first talks took place earlier this year in Copenhagen.

Saudi Arabia was picked for the talks in part because of the country’s relationship with China, one US official explained. While China is not expected to attend the talks, US officials have publicly encouraged China in recent months to play a constructive role in resolving the Ukraine war though there has been no signal of China taking any proactive steps towards a peaceful end.

“I reiterated that we would welcome China playing a constructive role along with other nations to work toward a just peace, based on the principles of the United Nations Charter,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Beijing in June.

Those discs are pretty hard metal designed to last a long time cultivating fields, they would likely do a good job at stopping small arms fire, and an excellent job at turning into fiery hot shrapnel if hit by any sort of anti tank weaponry.
