Well, as this is a microcosm of what the (snort!) so-called
professionals are encountering I don't think I can make my points any more clear...suffice it to say that ego, greed and pride often trample facts, wisdom and justice...and I see nothing from
any side that indicates a single element of the latter exists.
I see no heroes anywhere in this...no saints, no martyrs, no prophets...no champions, no knights, no justice...no wisdom...I see every one of the Seven Deadly Sins and nothing else.
What comes of this conflict or any other is never going to be long lasting any way you cut it...the species is simply too stupid to live at this point...and it is retrograding globally at an alarming rate....
There is only one conclusion sane people can agree on - we cannot do anything about things like this so we best look to ourselves and our families and loved ones.

Peskov decried the current atmosphere where the West is blowing off Russia's legitimate security concerns, and seems unwilling to compromise: “This is the reason we are insisting on receiving a direct response." He said that his side in good faith offered "extremely specific proposals" - presented to Washington and Brussels in the form of the draft 'security guarantees' earlier this month.
He stressed that while Moscow isn't at the moment "speaking about military action" - it remains that Russia is not "going to say that we will not deploy any offensive weapons on Ukraine’s territory."
However, it remains unclear the degree to which he posited this as 'an option'. Instead, it seems the remarks simply reflect that with no apparent willingness to compromise coming out of the West, the Kremlin can't in turn take any option of the table.
Of the more controversial statements by Peskov, Russian media clarified the following:
Later, on Sunday, Peskov elaborated on what he had said about potential weapons deployment to Ukraine. Before any judgment was passed, he told Russian media, his statement needed to be understood in context, adding that a quote attributed to him by America's Bloomberg was "their words." RT was unable to access the full interview at the time of publication. 
Naturally!
The hyperbole and pettiness of all concerned is hilarious! Just reinforces my assessment that every one of these
professionals is a sack of sh!t.
