Grabbing the points as they come up:

NATO:  "Open Door Policy" cannot be revised".

Will continue to support Ukraine militarily

"Ukraine has the right to defend itself"

Stand by Ukraine's right to NATO membership"

"Russia's military build-up demonstrates need to support Ukraine"

"Ready to listen to Russia concerns"

Why The Kazakhstan Crisis Is A Much Bigger Deal Than Western Media Is Letting On
https://archive.md/hJTL0
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/why-kazakhstan-crisis-much-bigger-deal-western-media-letting

This isn’t just any former Soviet republic. It’s almost as important to Russia as Belarus or Ukraine.

First, Russia and Kazakhstan have the largest continuous land border on planet earth.
If Kazakhstan destabilizes, a significant fraction of the country’s 19 million residents could become refugees streaming across the border.
Russia is not willing to let that happen.

Second, roughly one-quarter of the population of Kazakhstan is ethnic Russians.
Kazakh nationalists are overwhelmingly Muslims, who resent the Orthodox-Christian Russian minority.
Russia believes that civil war would entail a non-trivial risk of anti-Russian ethnic cleansing.

Third, the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan was the heart of the Soviet space program.
Russia still uses it as its primary space-launch facility.
The Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East will lessen that dependence, but it still isn’t complete.

Fourth, Russia conducts its Anti-Ballistic Missile testing at the Sary-Shagan test site within Kazakhstan.
This is where ongoing development of the S-550 ABM system is occurring, one of the foundations of Russia’s national security.

Fifth, Russia’s nuclear fuel cycle is intimately linked to Kazakhstan.
Russian-backed Uranium mining operations are active in the country.
Uranium from Kazakhstan is enriched in Novouralsk, Russia and then returned to Kazakhstan for use in Chinese nuclear-fuel assemblies.

Collectively, these security interests make Kazakhstan a region that Russia is willing to stabilize with force.

…

The Kremlin’s biggest fear is a “Maidan on Red Square” – i.e., a repeat of the Ukrainian revolution inside Moscow.
The more that it appears the West is pursuing similar revolutions in former Soviet republics, the more aggressively Russia will push back.

Plus individual meetings with

Has of course no meaning at all, was surely only about Christmas and New Year greetings and not about anyone having suspected, known etc. anything.

This is where fractures in NATO will show because the Europeans aren't having a leading role about things that are happening... In Europe, for me this demonstrates that its not NATO v Russia its US v Russia with NATO as a platform and delivery system of US threats should SHTF.

" EU research project lets critics be denounced

Critics of measures are supporters of "anti-Semitic" ideas. This framing is pursued by the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Its chairperson Anetta Kahane is an ex-informant of the Stasi.
Published on 9 January 2022 by RL.

A network called Covinform is dedicated to fighting measure critics in Europe. The name should not be confused with Cominform, Stalin's Communist Information Bureau, writes business journalist Norbert Häring, who has reported extensively on the network.

Covinform stands for "COronavirus Vulnerabilities and INFOrmation dynamics Research and Modelling". This is a five million euro EU-funded pandemic project that will run from November 2020 to the end of October 2023. Häring writes:

"One of the focal points of the work, in my words, is to discredit critics of the authoritarian pandemic policy, gladly also with the biggest club available, the accusation of anti-Semitism."

...

Particularly interesting: the text was written by Marianna Karakoulaki of the Media Diversity Institute. Häring writes about the institute: "This London-based institute is funded by the British government, the US State Department, the EU Commission and the Open Society Institute. It started, according to its own description, as the 'European Centre for War, Peace and the News Media' with the mission to instruct journalists in the Balkans, Russia and the South Caucasus."

The commentary on this is interesting:

https://corona-transition.org/eu-forschunsprojekt-denunziert-massnahmenkritiker-als-anhanger-von#forum4504

Political correctness, or as an adjective "politically correct", often "political correctness" as a loanword from English, is a political buzzword originating in the English-speaking world and playing a role especially in the theory of public opinion. In its original meaning, the English term "politically correct" denotes agreement with the idea that expressions and actions that may offend or insult groups of people (such as those related to gender or skin colour) should be avoided. The term is older, but has only gained wider currency since the early 1990s. At that time, it was taken up by the political right and conservatives in the USA to reject the use and alleged dominance of "politically correct" language as censorship and a restriction of free speech. Subsequently, conservative circles in Europe also took up the catchphrase. In the course of the clearing of the political field through the introduction of "political correctness" - "politically correct" language - problematic areas also opened up.

In order to block any undesired criticism, people today also like to use the strategy of clinging to areas of thought that are socially ostracised. The accusation of anti-Semitism, as well as a völkisch and racist nationalism, are particularly suitable for this. A very important component in this ideological seizure are the terms "anti-Semitism", "Reichsbürger", "right-wing extremism", "right-wing populism" and "racism", meanwhile supplemented with "Corona denier" analogous to "Holocaust denier", they serve as fighting terms or as killer arguments and are today very strongly instrumentalised by certain circles and abused as a political weapon to stifle the free expression of opinion. Anyone who today somehow acts or thinks differently, that is: not in conformity with the system or politically correct, or like the masterminds in our leading media and politics, today immediately runs the risk of being denigrated as an "anti-Semite", "racist" and "Nazi" and becoming "persona non grata". They serve to gain the sovereignty of interpretation and opinion and the monopoly on the definition of what is the right opinion, the right sentiment, the right historiography and the desired truth. They are the tools of propagandistic discrediting of those who think differently and serve as sweeping words of reproach and defamation. Opinions are now only appropriate when they fit into one's own concept and serve one's own interests, where they are then ruthlessly brought to bear and imposed through coercive enforcement. They also serve to silence critics with phobocratic methods, or by means of the pedagogy of deterrence and intimidation, by instilling fear and terror in them, resolutely forcing them into submissive obedience and thus intimidating them and presenting them as evil people. In a manner of speaking, one wants to evoke feelings of guilt, i.e. a guilty conscience, in the subject of the protagonist. In the case of non-conformity, one reaches for the multimedia pillory, if necessary also for the political or psychiatric guillotine, in order to remove critics - coram publico - from circulation and to disavow them, sometimes even executing the person concerned through existential character assassination. The generation of fear serves as a powerful factor in the regulation of social relations and the establishment of social orders. The fundamental and human right to freedom of expression is increasingly threatened and becomes a farce. The genius of the "do-gooder" is often not a lord from above, but a god from below, concealing his Luciferian and animalistic sovereign, namely the ugly grimace of hypocrisy, philistinism and Pharisaism.
More detailed explanations can be found in the following publications:

- Rainer Mausfeld "Why are the lambs silent?, How elite democracy and neoliberalism are destroying our society and our livelihoods" (study edition).
("Warum schweigen die Lämmer?, Wie Elitendemokratie und Neoliberalismus unsere Gesellschaft und unsere Lebensgrundlagen zerstören" (Studienausgabe))

Ok I make things short, talks in Geneva are over Putin’s requests have all been denied forcefully.  NATO as suspected refuses all offers.  So I guess we all will see if there is iron In Putin’s words we all know what his stated positions were going into these talks.  It is obvious that NATO thinks he does not have resolve by their arrogant refusals.  We now find out once and for all if they are right with all implications either way.
