Personally, I blame Macron and Starmer for aggravating an already bad situation...WHILE talks were in progress. Trump needs to deal with them, TOO.

Besides, what IDIOT would be emboldened simply on the strength of French or English promises??? Z is a moron!!

Perfectly understandable. Ukraine is physically much closer to them than to the US. Given GOP mutterings about exiting NATO, including from Musk, and Trump’s request for a cumulative 40% cut to defense, it’s clear that the US security guarantee is up in the air. If war is coming to Europe, better that Russia not have access to another 40m people, and be hundreds of miles closer.

From Zelensky’s standpoint, it makes perfect sense to continue the war, so long as he can get enough support to keep bleeding Russia. I can’t see any scenario under which the US would give up 20% of its territory without taking terrible damage.

Caterwauling aside, Ukraine has barely been grazed. It lost 6.8m people in WW2 from a similar population. It claims 100K dead so far. Russians claim 1m Ukrainian dead, still a far cry from WW2.

If one wonders why the left are now the war hawks it is simple.

Europe is mostly in the camp of the new world order in the vision of Soros and the World Economic Forum. The European Union has become Marxism light. Recently the EU removed the choice of the people candidate from running for office in Romania. It was the usual attack of right wing Nazi extremest false accusations.

Putin is a barrier to the vision of the new world order and thus a unified attack of the left against Putin. This is the same reason the unified left attack Trump.

I am not an admirer of Putin in the least. I am a great admirer of Trump.
