After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.” When the people living in Moscow, and all of the Great Cities, Towns, and Districts all throughout Russia, find out what is really going on with this War, the fact that it’s almost impossible for them to get Gasoline through the long lines that are being formed, and all of the other things that are taking place in their War Economy, where most of their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that! Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
He speaks as if NATO is divorced from the US.
Sounds like President Trump has cut bait.
Ukraine has the green light to take out the rest of Russia’s oil refineries.
I hope this means NATO/EU will $$-pay-$$ a lot, since it is their neighborhood.
Maybe they can redirect some of the $$-billions-$$ going into the green energy scam.
Putin screwed up by boasting to President Trump that he’d conquer all of Donetsk by October 1st.
All three sides need to reach their level of pain before they decide enough is enough and sue for peace.
Russia thinks they are winning and maybe they are.
Ukraine thinks they can hold out and maybe they can
The EU thinks it can expel Russia and maybe they can.
October is the triple witching hour when the US weapons and welfare spending allocations for Ukraine start to expire and we shall see if France, Germany and Great Britain can back up their big talk with equally big action.
Don't hold your breath waiting. Soon there will be increasing efforts to escalate the war and precipitate a crisis to try to pressure President Trump into intervention in Ukraine.
It may just work.
With our experience in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, we know how real military powers wrap wars up quickly
I don’t like choosing between Ukraine and Russia.
The people of both are just normal people.
What I like doing is to focus on the intelligence agencies here and elsewhere, and other entities, that designed and orchestrated the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
And why they did it.
Trump and the language of diplomacy.
That is an adieu.
Walking away.
Finally.
So long and thanks for all the fish…
Yes.
Trump’s using his big spoon to stir the pot! This may work to get Russia to really negotiate.
Sounds like Trump just gave the green light to WWIII.
Nope. He’s saying let them fight.
Really? Is that what you got from this?
I read it as a way to avoid us supplying arms directly to Ukraine. But they will still end up there. Kind of a pussy thing to do, but it keeps the Russians dying. And that is always a good thing.
When are the sanctions coming on Russia? I keep hearing about the sanctions…but all he does is talk.
Sounds lIke a subtle message to Russia to stop being a paper tiger and get it finished. No nobody with access to intel can believe the Ukrainians have to manpower to win, even with Europeans sending troops.
Europe can tolerate a lot fewer war dead than Zelensky’s people. Will they think the Donbas and Crimea are worth losing their sons and husbands?
Ukraine has been building their long range Flamingo Missiles for a couple of months now. Those things can go 1,800 km. If Ukraine has the launchers, they can now swarm missiles against major targets like Moscow and refineries all over the country.
I would drop a few on the warehouses in Crimea where the Chinese have unloaded their freighter this week.
