A perfect phone call??
Impeach! Impeach!
My plan. Send American troops there and make them a trip-wire just like South Korea. Then make all of Europe pay for it. Hire Ukraine widows to work on the military bases.
Russia has no real beef with us. They’re just paranoid about everybody. Trump let them know it doesn’t have to include us.
Somehow, I think this may go the way that Palestinian deals have always gone —
“You can have peace. We will give you 95% of what you want.”
“We reject this deal.”
If it goes that way, I hope we tell Russia: “Take it all. They don’t deserve to be a sovereign nation.”
This is an interesting plan. Not saying it’s good or bad. The 20 years is to ensure Ukraine joining NATO does not happen during Putin’s tenure, allowing him to save face.
Just kick the can down the road and dump it right into the laps of the next generation.
Good. Real Good. Just like we've managed our own disaster, like $36 trillion in debt and growing every day.
That's worked out really well! Right?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. And them chickens DO come home to roost sooner or later.
Zelensky posted he had an “excellent” call with Trump and congratulated him on his landslide victory:
“Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace.”
Netanyahu called Trump to say, “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.”
Sniffle....we’re as close to Ukrainian and Mideast pea$e as we’ve ever been.....sob.
I think Putin will respond to carrots and sticks. Historically Russia has progressed when it increased ties with the West. Those ties have been broken. Restoring trade with Western Europe is a huge dividend.
Meanwhile, the US will increase its energy production and be in a position to reduce oil prices and supply energy to Europe which would obviously hurt Russia economically.
The leftists simply would not take this approach b cause they are beholden to the fake environmentalists and globalists.
The reality on the ground is that Ukraine is running out of men and Putin is increasing his military spending 70% per annum. Continuing the War is suicide of so much of the national population of Ukraine. Making the War turn cold is the best thing to do for Ukraine now. And Russia has much of the same problem, but 2 advantages where the top 1 is long term bad for them. He has dictator friends to bring in more manpower like North Korea. He has lots of resources due to size of land mass. Russia’s biggest problem long term are those autocrats in China and other places. China has mouths to feed. Russia has resources. As long as the sales price is reasonable then no war between them. Long term with autocrats nothing is reasonable to them as their appetites don’t have healthy checks and balances.
Russia needs to look into Asia to see the real dangers they face. Why they don’t now is because they temporarily are led by an autocrat. When the dust settles in the world I expect to see that the principle of self-determination will win. It’s why Finland and Sweden joined NATO. It’s why the swing state voters rebelled against Jack Smith’s agenda to take Trump off the ballot. We almost could have had our dollar bills printed up to say “In Jack we trust” with his picture on there as the chief of the National Election Ballots Planning Bureau.
The war can be over 10 minutes after Trump is inaugurated. Tell Putin the price of oil is going to be cut by half unless Putin withdraws his troops from Ukraine within the week.
Troops will come home, then drop the price of oil anyway. Having a phone and a pen works both ways.
President Trump #47 had best check with the Russians, first.
There is ZERO chance of Russia allowing another NATO buildup on its borders. Zip. Zero. Nada. Nyet.
Russia can and, ultimately will, take out the entire electric grid in Ukraine to end the war if necessary.
Kiev is already facing eight to 20 hour blackouts in this winter. That is not sustainable.
Trump will cut military funding off for the war and Zelensky will be forced to agree to any deal he can get, one that wil save his life and allow him to escape to one of his mansions.
I don’t see us re-arming the Ukraine. More like a formal treaty with new boundaries giving Do bass to Russia.
