"Come to Moscow" - You'll Not Want to Leave - Putin's 'Irresistible' Offer

2026-02-02 | UPDATES #124 | “‘Come to Moscow,’ the Kremlin says — let’s all make peace in Moscow. Another offer, or rather ultimatum has been made to Zelenskyy – come to the Kremlin and hammer out peace. But this is not an offer designed for Ukraine – it’s 100% for the Americans, for the Vatniks and for the propagandists, to try to make Ukraine look like the party that is obstructing a settlement. “Come to the Kremlin”, says the spider to the fly, like it’s a neutral venue, like it’s a normal invitation, like Moscow isn’t the command centre of a war of annihilation, like this isn’t a trap. But this isn’t diplomacy. It’s a stage-prop — built to stall, to smear, and to set up Ukraine as the ‘obstacle’ to peace. Let’s break down the playbook — and the history that makes it toxic, especially from Soviet times.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.
