==="Partners"===
+
"Partners" is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]]. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:
+
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate
+
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].
+
We have not heard the word "partners" in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like "unfriendly". "Partner" has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear "partner" being used for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[Grance]], [[UK]]. etc.
+
+
The term generally means "negotiating partner", where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.
+
+
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported.
+
+
The fact that [[Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 12:26, March 1, 2025 (EST)
