I suspect both sides are jockying for position on the possibility of a new Trump Presidency.
I am fairly certain the war would never have happened if we were in a second Trump term instead of a Biden leftist clown/keptocracy.
Everyone wants peace. It’s the terms of that peace that are the issue.
Putin is not terrified of Trump. What he wants is no American nukes in the Ukraine. Same as the USA doesn’t want Russian nukes in Cuba
Don’t know what to believe- Ukraine or Russia is winning?
“Putin” also said today that his only objective in his war is conquering Donbas region.
WRONG! “the issue is never the issue, the revolution is the issue” applies. who’s revolution is more the issue than the issue that’s the issue of the issue.
Putin is terrified of Presidential Trump. Putin squandered the 3 years of Biden-Harris for no strategic gains. Now with only 4-6 weeks before the cold and rain starts back up, Putin is in a flop sweat.
Putin squandered 3 years of Biden-Harris weakness and now he’s realizing he’s going to have to deal with the return of a strong leader President Trump in January.
Ukraine is losing badly
Don’t get your hopes up. Trump isn’t going to get back the ethnic Russia. territories seized by Russia.
Peace on Russia’s terms: they keep all territory currently held or they keep all the claimed Oblasts - negotiation point. UKR can not join NATO or the EU. UKR will disarm and be neutral. UKR qill allow Russian observers access to all documents/facilities described above; all non-negotiable.
Heads Russia wins; Tails Russia wins.
Ukraine is losing badly
—
Proof?
Return to your borders, declare the Crimea as a state independent from Russia and the Ukraine... And Bob’s your uncle... Don’t, and prepare yourself to be ousted from power.
The reason the territory was not well defended in the first place was because it has very little military value apart from being a corridor to reach the nuclear power plant.
This objective has failed completely.
The Ukrainian military has rotated out most of the hardened fighters who led the offensive and replaced them with poorly trained, inexperienced troops sent into Russia to act as cannon fodder.
After they arrived, the Ukraine's "motivational battalions" burned the bridges behind them so the troops have no option but to hold the line to the bitter end so the Ukraine does not have to withdraw and admit it's offensive has failed.
The diversion of resources created by this ill advised offensive has resulted in the collapse of resistance of the Ukrainian forces in key areas and rapid Russian advances into Ukraine.
From the same folks who told us Putin was dying of 37 different fatal diseases.
Yes, Putin is so “rattled” he pulled troops out of Ukraine to counter the Ukrainian incursion into the desolate swampland of Kursk. Oh wait. He didn’t. Just calmly kept on keeping on.
And it appears that in Kursk the Ukrainian mice have captured the Russian mousetrap. Zelensky reacts with a big “reshuffling” of his cabinet, including the FM. Who is “rattled” again?
Baloney on both counts.
“Ukraine continues its blistering offensive in Kursk”
Sure Jan.
Everything I’ve seen is that the Kursk offensive has come to a halt. Russian troops are working their way slowly through the forests and killing Ukrainians as they are found. Ukraine is trying to get some forces out of Kursk, but that makes them moving targets. The Ukrainians are finally trying to reinforce Pokrotsk, but it may be too late.
“Don’t know what to believe- Ukraine or Russia is winning?”
I agree, but I believe we are losing.
