Tell Putin to get with the program and accept President Trump’s Easter ceasefire.

--- "...referring to the former US president Biden, Putin and Zelensky."

Sounds fine to me. Biden. Putin. Zelensky.

It's a beautiful thing when some Freepers try to carve away the "Churchill of our time" from the three, but -- No.

Scum all around. President Trump would do well to simple let the "Biden, Putin and Zelensky" sort itself out.

Over there. And without us.

It was President Obama who sent Victoria Nuland and John McCain over to Ukraine to overthrow their elected government.

He left out Boris Johnson, Macron and Victoria Nuland.

That outcome is realization by Russia that they are never going to end the war by negotiation and that their only option is to try end the war soonest by winning it.

Ukraine is not going to give up. This war can easily last for another 10 years. Unlikely we'll see massive battles such as Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Instead both armies will be entrenched and it will be mostly drones and artillery. The war will be fought at a lower intensity.

The window is closing for a ceasefire. Trump wants it to happen by Easter.

I get the sense there will be no ceasefire without a surrender. Ukraine waited too long to deal and Putin is taking land more easily now. Ukraine can’t even rotate troops for rest, it doesn’t have enough in the trenches, which are death traps given the accuracy of modern weapons.

Maybe, but time is not necessarily on the Russian side.

They cannot afford to let the EU mobilize and perhaps even get directly involved.

This is why Russia wants a definitive end to the war, not a cease fire that is a de facto hudna to buy time for EU to mobilize and re arm the Ukraine so they can resume the fight.

They are poised for a breakthrough and the Ukrainian ability to respond to a resumption maneuver warfare is very limited.

If and when the Russians break through, the Ukrainian will have a tough time stopping them.

Both sides would probably take heavy losses but taking heavy losses to defeat the enemy and win the war is what war is about. It's a simple case of battle field economics - the Russians can incur heavy short term losses to defeat the enemy , or they can stay mired down in the grinding stalemate for years to come.

Either the Trump Administration forces the issue to obtain a new attitude with the the Zelensky regime and his foreign backers or the Russians have little choice to take the initiative and force the issue.

Putin was able to mobilize his army from the Russian Hinterlands.

But he's pretty much tapped out at this point. Which is why he had to ask the North Koreans to send some of their grunts.

The potential is there for Putin to mobilize even more troops but he'll have to conscript in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

He won't do that because he'll be at risk of getting overthrown.

We shall see.

Hope Trump succeeds in ending this insanity before it gets even worse than it already is.

He has made big strides in limiting the conflict as much as possible so far but if the Russians move on to unrestricted warfare the damage they will do to the Ukraine ability to execute a rapid post war recovery will be severely compromised and far more expensive.

It's not really our fight. We are looking for a way out of the war.

The problem is that the Europeans may not be capable of supporting Ukraine at this point.

Putin is taking advantage of Trump's hesitancy to prolong the war.

So if Ukraine runs out of artillery shells, then it may be over for them.

Right now, running out of artillery shells is less of a problem for Ukraine than running out of artillery guns to shoot them.

Their current howitzer inventory is wearing out due to years of heavy use and they are having a hard time keeping many of them running.
