Corner with no exit.

"Britain and the European Union...announced coordinated actions against pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine, as well as more Russian oligarchs and their relatives," India Today. "President Joe Biden has now said Russia's war in Ukraine amounts to 'genocide,' accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to 'wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian'," AP. Which is a stupid lie because Russia has occupied only the eastern Donbass region and has created a land connection with Crimea, BBC. "Russian forces have now fully withdrawn from northern Ukraine to Belarus and Russia, British military intelligence said," Reuters. Hardly wiping our Ukrainians. Biden must be seriously confused. "The US and Britain say they are looking into reports that chemical weapons have been used by Russian forces attacking the Ukrainian port of Mariupol," BBC. There were numerous accusations of use of chemical weapons, such as Sarin and Chlorine, by both rebels and the Syrian government, wikipedia. The global chemical watchdog, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons could not prove those attacks, AP. On the other hand, "In a televised briefing..., Russia's Ministry of Defence repeated the government's stance that the attack was faked, adding that it had proof that Britain participated in its staging," Reuters. In other words, a false flag operation. Then President Barack Obama had drawn a 'red line' on the use of chemical weapons, but backed away from the threat of direct use of US military against the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad, apparently because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran would not accept use of force against their ally and Iran would withdraw from the nuclear deal, according to Wall Street Journal reporter Jay Solomon, BI. Or maybe, world leaders knew it was a false flag operation. What is not in doubt is the use of white phosphorus by US forces in Iraq and in Syria, hrw. It appears that when the US and its allies commit real genocide it is legal. "Britain...backed considering Nuremberg-style to try 'war criminal' Vladimir Putin in his absence for atrocities committed in Ukraine," Evening Standard. All these fulminations are meant to back Russia into a corner but can it boomerang? Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia when it annexed Crimea in 2014, NATO, and those sanctions have not been lifted. Russia knows that present sanction will never be lifted because the US and its allies want complete surrender of Russia with total withdrawal from Crimea and the Donbass regions. Which is never going to happen, especially after the deaths of thousands of Russian soldiers. Abkhazia and South Ossetia are de facto independent nations even though most other countries have not recognised them as such. There is therefore no incentive for Russia to agree to any peace deal. "Record-high food inflation is tightening its grip on the global economy, most critically in developing nations where financial distress is contributing to increased political instability," ET. Biden is desperate to sign a nuclear deal with Iran, NR, which will allow him to lift sanctions on Iran's oil leading to lower gas prices in the US. That might prompt an attack on Iran by Israel and Arab nations which will send oil prices to infinity. Obama denied threatening to shoot Israeli planes in 2015, The Times of Israel. Biden has a lot to deny.
