The answer is clearly no.
They have irreconcilable differences.
Somebody is going to have to win the war.
Karl Rove
Yes. President Trump will fix that
Sorry.
“””Putin’s demands—the surrender of territory he hasn’t conquered, the end of an independent Ukraine and, in its place, a puppet state from which he can threaten Europe. “””
Karl Rove, you were there when Putin started his westward expansion with the Acquistion of Georgia.
In case you have forgotten.
Trump can fix a lot. Heck he’s ended no less than five wars.
But Putin is just plain evil. Zelanzy is corrupt. This one is not fixable. Even for Trump. Too many dead. More will die. Sigh
Sorry “Zelensky”
The Ham speaks.
He can fix this mess if he doesn’t have a lot of harpies squawking at him constantly.
He will not seal a deal when only one side wants a deal. Putin wants a deal like Hitler wanted a deal with the Sudetenland. All smiles getting what he wanted and when everyone went home, he gobbled up the rest of the country. Know history to know what is coming.
recently:
At this time, Putin might think upper Donetsk may be too tough a nut to crack. In three months, who knows what Putin's army might possess and what Putin might think.
“A failure to come to an agreement would hurt Mr. Trump’s reputation as a strong leader and a great deal-maker.”
Nah. Trump doesn’t have anything more to prove on that front. He has done what could be done by external countries.
It is up to the principals. If Putin is just looking for surrender from Ukraine then I suspect no deal and the fight continues. But hopefully some sort of deal can be struck.
Yard gnome speaks.
Says no deal would be disaster for Trump.
How’s that dude?
Trump ain’t running for reelection.
Trump ain’t working to have the Globalist Aussie Rupert Murdoch’s minions at Faux News, the NYP, or the WSJ write his legacy.
As far as midterms go, it ain’t Trump’s problem.
The Republican wing of the uniparty only picked up five seats in the House in 2024 and Trump not only won an electoral landside but a popular majority.
Trump’s America First Movement and GOPe Establishment are not on the same page nor have they ever been.
For Rove to PRETEND he cares about what is disastrous to Trump is insulting to anyone who knows who Rove is and how he has always been a Never Trumper who has had to restrain himself from going the full Bill Kristol.
Frankly I’d rather watch and listen to Butch Madcow on PMSNBC than watch and listen to Karl Rove anywhere, Butch is a better looking dude.
Rove really is such an ass. That's as far as I read.
I am wagering no peace but that would not be Trump’s fault. He has surely tried. Putin is a savage.
The WSJ is on a blotter acid bad trip when it writes these paranoid rants completely removed from reality. First of all there’s “deals” and then there’s peace agreements -know the difference. Deals are basically weapon sales contracts and in this case, the administration has, with European client states, tabled a disgustingly huge weapons deal to flood Ukraine with hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to continue to kill untold thousands of men be paid for by a broke Europe. Russia isn’t buying the crazy, sorry…. Peace agreements, by contrast, require the US to pivot to an impossible scenario where mutual respect and a win/win for peer powers (mainly Russia) is achieved. That happens via multi-polar, non hegemonic first principles. THATS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS ADMIN OR ANY FUTURE ADMIN. Are we all going to forget what Pete Hegseth said at the beginning of the year when he clear stated that the goal of “peace in Ukraine” is merely to freeze the conflict in Ukraine (to stop the ass kicking we’re getting)and pivot American forces to China for the next big thing: a confrontation over Taiwan and China in its backyard. After we rain death on Asia, the plan is to revisit the Ukraine conflict after it has rearmed and the cycle continues. Does any of this sound like a recipe for a durable peace? The safest course of action is for Russia to continue to collapse the entire western effort on the battlefield. Let them propaganda about millions of Russians dead but the reality is Russia is winning decisively.
WSJ is neocon propaganda.nothing more.
Rove is a meathead. total moron.
enemy of the people
This thing is the Hatfield’sand the McCoys. Generations of hatred. Its hard to stop a fight like that. No wonder Trump is so frustrated.
