No. Ukraine takes out Russia’s remaining oil refineries.

What I expect will happen within the next 48 hours, true to that little Kremlin turd’s nature, is in response he will start a massive bombing campaign on Ukraine targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Trump has switched sides again? When did that happen?

President Trump doesn’t drink alcohol, after what happened to his brother.

He has intelligence we don't have. Sounds like he is convinced that Putin will not stop until stopped.

Putin will never give up the eastern territory he’s already taken unless someone, in or outside of Russia, manages to take him out. The slaughter could continue indefinitely.

Trump didn’t say NATO. He said he would sell weapons to NATO and EU and Ukraine can win.

Given the mass of resources Putin put into the invasion, and the years of covert and subversive intelligence he had and has on institutions and enterprises in Ukraine, Putin should have “won” in a minimum of a few months. He has done widespread damage with bombs drones and missiles across Ukraine while with unimaginable tenacity Ukraine has held on, checking Putin’s advance.

Reminds me of another small nation that hung on in spite of years of pounding by a superpower, making the superpower sue for peace just so it could walk away.

Sometimes I think just being an invader presents a disadvantage, because psychologically the battle presents an existential issue with the defenders but not so the invader. Faced with an existential loss the defender will fight harder than the invader.

That is why Putin’s defenders here have represented a Kremlin instigated cheering squad to convince Ukraine and or its friends to just give in - to make it easier for Putin.

Next week, Putin is going to approve a massive tax increase on Russians making over $1,000 a month. Popcorn time.

You missed the point of his post. He’s saying that if all the propaganda distributed by Ukraine and NATO is true, then they are all set and the US doesn’t need to intervene any longer. He says the US will continue to sell weapons to NATO which can do whatever they want with it (it’s not positioned as Ukraine aid).

Since NATO is terrified of Russia, now that the US won’t fight their proxy war, I doubt Ukraine will be getting the new equipment the US is selling to NATO, especially as Ukraine is too exhausted to continue this fight much longer.

President Trump is saying it’s up to NATO now so it sounds like the US will not continue to supply Ukraine with 40+ billion annually to prop up the functioning of their government or the 1+ billion Zelensky requested for more weapons!

Putin bragged to President Trump in Alaska that Russia was going to conquer the entirety of Donetsk by October 1st. Putin’s got a week left.
