Trump says Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia during war
Jerusalem Post ^ | 9/23/2025 | Reuters

Posted on 09/23/2025 12:44:24 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he believes Ukraine, with the support of the European Union and NATO, can win back all of the territory Russia has taken since its invasion.

-snip-

In the post, Trump criticized Russia's prosecution of the war, saying it had been fighting "aimlessly" in a war that a "real military power" would have won in "less than a week."

"Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act," the post continues.

I wouldn’t call it “trolling,” but Trump is giving the controlled EU media Davos-compliant sound-bites, so he can play the role of positive neutral.

It seems Trump has decided to enable Ukraine (with Europe picking up the tab) rather than restrain them, since Russia clearly doesn’t want peace. Should he decide to apply serious economic pressure on Moscow, he could sell them a couple hundred JASSMs, including some JASSM-ERs for more distant refineries, infrastructure and factories. In addition to the thousands of ERAMs he already announced, they could prove quite effective “sanctions” on Russia’s economy. And a small boost to ours.

Sounds right.

Th key phrase here is "with the support of the European Union and NATO".

It is probably more likely that Ukraine will receive the support of the Klingon Empire.

1. US will not fund the war but turn it into a profit center.
2. Putin isn’t cooperating with peace efforts, sabre rattling instead.
3. Ukraine MAY be able to harm the Russian economy enough to bring it to the table.

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.


The Moscow Kremlin has always had a delusional band of armchair supporters in the west. They really need another hobby.

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

You were also counting down the days not long ago when Trump was going to
enact more massive SANCTIONS on Ruzzia. What happened those additional
Massive SANCTIONS?

Ukraine’s sanctions against Russia’s oil refineries and depots are working quite nicely.

But that was not what you were counting down. LOL.
Still too early to tell if the Refinery Strategy is working.
Tell your Zelensky to go on Offense and Take ALL his land back.

Wanna bet on that, Marcus?

How much that Ukraine doesn't get any territory back in the next year?

One problem with this claim. What troops are Zelensky use to take back this land. Remember how the last Ukrainian offensive turned out?

“Ukraine’s sanctions against Russia’s oil refineries and depots are working quite nicely.”

They have just starting hitting Russia oil export terminals. They drone strike them when a ghost tanker is taking on Urals crude or petro-distillates. It is easy to set the port terminals on fire.

Ukraine has its home made Flamingo missile that it will be firing on Russian oil export terminals and ports and refineries. Warhead is 1000+ kilos. Since this cruise missile is Ukrainian it can be fired at anything in Russia. It is not subject to NATO and US limits on hitting Russian targets.

Its hilarious how pathetic Russian air defenses are. They are naked like Iran. Ukraine will let Russians repair their refineries and export terminals. Then strike them again and again...just rinse and repeat.

Only in fantasy land.

AI overview:
"Gasoline prices in Ukraine are approximately UAH 60.59 per liter (or $1.47 USD per liter) as of September 15, 2025. "

"The current price for Octane-95 gasoline in Russia is RUB 63.46 per liter or $0.76 USD per liter as of September 15, 2025. This is notably lower than the world average of $1.22 USD per liter."

New negotiating tactic. Now we support a never ending war, which will exhaust both sides. Fighting until the last Ukrainian is insane. Trump is making Zelensky own the consequences of a war that is increasingly unpopular in Ukraine. And Russia is no longer being offered an exit ramp.

Trump once referred to the war as a fight among kids. Sometimes you must let them fight it out without interference. Ultimately, they will exhaust themselves and accept an intervention.

Trump is embracing the Ukrainian and European position that victory is possible and all of Ukraine’s territory will be regained. Trump is trolling them. He knows the support for the war in Ukraine is declining rapidly. Europe can’t afford it.

They can do whatever they want, as long as it isn’t with my taxpayer money, weapons that US taxpayers paid for, or American lives. Knock yourselves out Ukraine.
