When Russian President Putin said, “Russia is ready for peace talks, on the basis of the Istanbul agreements,” there wasn’t happiness with the announcement, not even any sense of relief.
Because the vast majority of analysts believe that his announcement was strictly a stalling tactic as he looks for an exit ramp out of the terrible situation of his own doing.

The US government has taken steps to significantly increase its production capacity for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors, awarding Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $35bn.
Most accounts of the US–Iran war will credit its end to military factors: the cumulative effect of U.S. naval and air assaults on the one hand, or Iranian resilience in the face of these assaults on the other. That reading isn’t wrong so much as shallow. What was decided when the shooting stopped, and on whose terms, was oil — and the outcome was mostly set before the first clash of American and Iranian forces.

The sharp increase in battlefield losses and the economic bad news continue to create combined pressures on Putin that should be pushing him to the position where he seriously has to engage in peace talks, said the Foreign Intelligence Service chief, Kaupo Rosin.
Marines deployed to Haiti found themselves under fire and shooting back, several times last year, their commander recently told reporters at a media roundtable.
“There were multiple engagements at the embassy in Haiti, in which we received and returned fire,” Col. Tom “Banshee” Trimble said on Tuesday. Trimble served as commanding officer of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), which recently returned to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, after a 10-month deployment.
The son of a politician, William “Billy” Mitchell grew up in Wisconsin as the oldest of 10 children. In such a crowded household, Mitchell learned early on to speak up for himself and his beliefs.
After enlisting in the United States Army in 1898, Mitchell came to believe, most of all, that developing America’s airpower was essential to its defense.
