⚡️Putin is 'obstacle to peace,' retired US General Petraeus says. In an interview with ABC News on Aug. 24, retired US General David Petraeus cast doubt on the likelihood of a meeting between President Zelensky & Vladimir Putin, and on Putin's willingness to negotiate in good faith.

Uh, yeah, because peace is not what Putin wants. He started the war and his goal is to Russify Ukraine, so, I’d say he’s the perpetrator of war, rather than an “obstacle to peace”.

Petraeus: "What we need to do is change those dynamics by helping UKR far more..." "Lifting restrictions on them, seizing the $300 billion of frozen reserves (), giving it to UKR. More sanctions on RUS, even including the Gazprom bank, and curtailing the export of oil further than we have already" 💯

If Putin is the MAIN obstacle, DT is the first. His criminal neutrality only strengthens Kremlin's stubbornness in continuing war. If Putin represents insurmountable obstacle, perhaps it's time to review approach with notorious terrorist? What's the difference between Putin, bin Laden, al-Zawahiri?
