There goes the pre-election pledge to not get the country entangled in “foreign affairs” and “never-ending wars”. Combined with his reversal on providing funds and weapons to the thieving grifter in Ukraine, then exempting illegal aliens who work in agriculture and the medical field from deportation, we are doing just fine. Oh. forgot, at least we get to see the latest Manolo Blahnik footwear styles when AG Blondi hits the TV news shows. That is, if the camera pans low enough. At two thousand bucks a pair, your tax dollars at work.

I see your critical of Trump and potential further involvement in the Ukraine war. It’s a war that the US, under Obama, got entangled in. The media, parroting the ‘deep state’ and the Democrats profiteering accelerated. Biden, in his infinite wisdom made it worse. This has been a stupid war with stupid prizes from day one, and while Trump holds most of the cards for supplying little Z, Vlad the Invader has his own ideas about recreating the Soviet Empire.

My question is simple, what would you advise to do differently than Trump? I think in possibilities.

Option #1. You can let Vlad profit from yet another war of conflict, and leave entirely. More likely than not this will trigger a European conflict, and essentially WWIII, dooming billions. The US will be committed to fighting a maximum event, likely going nuclear, against the Russians and probably a two front war with the Chinese. Probably end thermonuclear.

Option #2. You can get more involved in Ukraine, using American troops on the ground, or EU troops, likely with the same effect as number one when the Russians become desperate, which they will. Probably ends thermonuclear.

Option #3. Keep the war going and bleed the Russian economy and war machine until THEY decide to pull out. Hoping of course that the Chinese don’t see an ‘in’ to taking most of Siberia and Russia because of the weak state of Russia. Then China world dominate power, with guarantees aggression against US Allies. Probably ends Thermonuclear.

Option #4.Same as number three, except attempt to get Putin to the table quicker to end the war before Russia is completely unstable and vulnerable. De-escalate with Russia, and attempt to quit antagonizing them. Maybe figure out a way to bring them in closer.

Since I have limited imagination about such things, I would like to explore other options than I have listed. Since you’re critical of Trump, and he appears to be taking option #4, I would appreciate your insight as to better options. For that matter anyone on these boards who has a better plan than #4.

Don’t trust Trump? There’s always Elon.
