“Putin cannot concede any of that territory to Ukraine”

Yes he can

The Russian constitution was changed to include them, it can change to exclude them.

Whether Putin wants to do that is a different question.

Russia’s fundamental reason for invading Ukraine is to steal land and resources ... and finish his hero Josef Stalin’s genocide.

When people say they know what Trump is doing they are way off

There are many complications at play here and this is part of why it is slow to resolve. Efforts are being made.

>>”Trump continues to mistakenly believe that he simply needs to get Putin and Zelensky together, who will hammer out a deal. Trump labors under the false assumption that the war in Ukraine was caused in part by a personal tiff between Putin and Zelensky.”

Rubbish. This guy has no firsthand knowledge nor insight into what Trump is thinking. Trump is intelligent and a realist and he’s under no delusion about the issues involved.

Another “genius” you have not heard of. Those closely following listen as he is an ex-CIA career employee spilling the beans on our out of control CIA.

Yeah, good old Larry Johnson (whoever the f*ck that is) knows so much more about world affairs than Trump and his team. Thanks Larry

Okay. Where was he in 2016 when the FBI and CIA were screwing Trump?

TV? No. Articles? No. Congressional testimony? No.

He writes like he sat a desk believing he is James Bond.

Trump rightfully doesn’t care why Putin invaded a neighboring sovereign state. Trump is simply going to offer Putin a carrot and increasingly bigger and bigger sticks, until Putin agrees to terms that Trump can accept. Then Trump will give Ukraine an ultimatum to accept those terms or continue the war without US support. Trump has already revealed two of his sticks to Putin, US air support for Ukraine and the green light for Ukraine to launch more lethal missile/drone attacks inside Russia. Putin has days not weeks to wise up.

The entire first paragraph was “Look at me, I know better”.

Words like ignorance, mistaken, understand.

You guys kill me.

It’s like trying to understand why a snake does what a snake does. It really doesn’t matter….the snake needs killing when it’s in your house.

It’s a world where expertise is created by viewcount. The more people that see a video, the more people will quote some random person with marginal credentials who made that video.

BTW, I have become intrigued with the sheer ratio of minutes or hours the Europeans are allocating to the question of what to do after peace is arranged.

In comparison to the minutes they spend on the peace itself.

We are loaded with talk of coalition of the willing (billing) and who will pay what to rebuild Ukraine and who will send how many troops (to follow behind the US).

And we are not loaded with talk about European military action before the peace happens. We get 0 minutes for that.
