Putin reads Obama like a book. He knows that this peace plan he scribbled out on the back of an in flight cocktail napkin will be declined. Why? Because if one ever wanted to piss off Obama and get him to react, just upstage his thunder before he was about to have a Reganesque moment. In this case , it was for Putin to release " a peace plan" before the NATO conference tomorrow . Of course , the deal is not putins to take, but I would not be surprised by an unforeseen announcement of US fueled NATO giving weapons to ukraine, and that is exactly what Putin wants, a reason to full scale invade, all the way to the Kiev.
