We're in Londinium with a cup of wine by the Thames and a little chilly winter coming on. However, the centurions have gone home, and we're not reading poetry; we're discussing the 21st century, which is compelling now because of headlines we always knew were coming. We've been impatient for months.
I read from The Daily Telegraph, London reporting —these are hawks reporting— “Zelensky says he needs NATO guarantees before entering peace talks with Putin.”
Subhead: “Ukraine president demands alliance support and ‘a good number’ of missiles before ‘meeting with the killers’.”
Zelensky is looking for a peace deal that makes him a winner. Putin can see this. The Kremlin can see this. I think any reader of history can see this. What will he take? What's enough for him to stop the shooting?
