Looks like Z-Man doesn’t want to end the war. If Putin and Trump, make a deal where does that leave Ukraine? No money and no ammunition won’t get them too far and Europe is going to have to fall in line.
That seems to be the prevailing wisdom. It seems to me that Europe is the unknown. While it has been assessed that the EU cannot sustain a protracted war with Russia, they have proved to be an effective dirty tricks player all around. Their major need is to trap the U.S. into a NATO obligation. I won't put anything past them.
Ukraine cannot defeat Russia on its own; it has already killed off a large part of its hopeful future. Zelenski could never have survived this long without massive European interference and (false) promises. They screwed the Autopen Administration six ways from Sunday... if Trump hadn't won this time I suspect we would be approaching nuclear war with The Bear!
Britain covertly bought Ukraine mineral rights - presuming they have some - giving Zelenski huge sums of cash to continue his war. Apparently they hoped to then profit by selling the U.S. access to those minerals. I presume Prez Trump set that bit of chicanery aright!
