Good analysis. The United States and it’s NATO vassals need some acceptable off-ramp for the mess they created. I doubt that Biden ( or his replacement Gavin Newsome ) will want to campaign in 2024 with the Ukraine drama dragging on.

So India makes sense as an intermediary.

"...its ties with Moscow are no longer criticized by Washington."

So what? You seem to imply that might somehow place it better to play this role of mediator. Objectively, it seems to me and I'm sure anyone else who knows what vampires' teeth look like as they sink into their friends' necks, quite the opposite it apparent.

"...without doing so at the expense of Moscow’s interests."

Yeah, right... Anyone for a reality check?

"...spun for divide-and-rule purposes as “Chinese-dictated”..."

How about spinning 'Chinese containment'?

"...the “Asian Century” doesn’t mean a “Chinese Century”."

How about a(nother) reality check?

"...“we welcome a role that India or any other country could play”..."

You still can't see the teeth?

Will a peace pact be possible now that NATO has committed itself to admitting Ukraine once the war is over? Since the point of the “Special Operation” was to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO or serving as a western ally on Russia’s border, it would seem that NATO was shooting itself in the foot by it’s declaration. If I were Mr.Putin I would hardly be prepared to end the war now.

Yet another picture of vampire teeth, just in case yet another superfluous one might be helpful: http://www.dutchnews.nl//2023/07/judge-reprimanded-for-spreading-mh17-conspiracy-theory/.
