It seems clear to me that the 28 point “peace plan” was just a Russian wish list. Fantasy football. There was never any chance of it being agreed to. But what is getting lost in all the noise is that since the leaking of this Russian wish list, it has created so much controversy that everyone has forgotten about the US sanctions on the main buyers of Russian oil. There was legislation that was tee’d up and ready to go. If the US had followed through on that, Russian would be out of business in six months because they rely on that oil revenue to fund their war. In my view, this whole “peace plan” kerfuffle is just about that. And has anyone heard another word about those oil sanctions? No. Well played Putin. He can now carry on and relax that his main economic lifeline is still in place
