>Unlike most of you who support Russia, I’m a Trump supporter.
Yes trump will try to force an end to this war but he certainly isn’t going to do it by letting Russia take Ukraine.
I’m sure hes going to threaten both sides and demand that they reach a reasonable settlement which means that Russia will not get everything but Ukraine will not get all of its territory back.<
I’m with you! We still have some sensible people on FR.
I can see how one might think this, but...
The Russians have lost a lot of prestige and so many young men, armaments and supplies... The real death toll will be staggering. That is due to the method of modern war...
I think that will inevitably give them pause. Even though they beat Finland in 1940, they certainly still don’t relish fighting the Finns.
“”As Breitbart News’s Sean Moran pointed out, last March, Biden opted not to supply Ukraine with 28 Soviet MiG-29s fighter jets””
Trump wanted those jets to go to Ukraine and said so.
“Unlike most of you who support Russia,”
Prove it!
“I’m a Trump supporter.”
Prove that also!
That crack about Russia’s supporters not being Trump supporters was weird and not accurate.
“I think that will inevitably give them pause.”
Maybe, but they may be suffering a form of the “sunk cost fallacy” too.
Well all I can say is it seems like I’VE stuck a nerve
I think i know why.
:
“Trump will tell Ukraine to cede the 4 claimed oblasts plus Crimea or he will cut them off from all support of any kind.
If he says that is his plan he probably won’t win the primary, much less the general election (even leaving any concerns of cheating aside).l

Yep thats exactly why wont spell out what he would do to end the war in 24hrs. Thats the one of two ways to end the war: give putin everything he wants. The vast majority of americans would oppose it and it would be political suicide.
If he’s talking about offering 20% of Ukraine to the voracious bear, Brandon already tried that.
Many will refuse to say they support Trump.
“Trump is absolutely right!!!!”
Yup!
And FR is becoming awful with the paid shill trolls cheering Ukraine. I suggest we start hitting the abuse button on them.
What is the goal they are supposedly seeking to achieve, presuming it is not societal destruction and chaos?
“...parroting Kremlin talking points...”
That is preposterous.
He’s telling Putin who’s boss!
“...NATO will send in boots on the ground...”
Trump will prevent this, from the sidelines, by sheer force of will.
What, by being a rude SOB? Yeah, doing so causes people to think you’re a punk. You COULD simply apologize for the rude remark and I’d forgive.
That’s the way Free Republic used to be when I started.
It was smarter then, without a bunch of children venting their “feelings”.
To the point I was making, I don’t think Zelenesky’s doing anything any other Ukrainian would not do in his position. Beg for aid incessantly. It’s up to us to not give him everything he begs for, no?
Your rejoiner was, “Well you love him!”
See, not grownup discourse.
I’d agree except to state, the Russians don’t seem to have the capability to get it over with, nor more than the Kaiser’s troops in Northern France in 1916.
I’m not applauding that or condemning that, just observing this glaring repeat in history.
I am, however, saddened that more boys will die before either side sees the truth.
All our aid does is perpetuate that day.
That’s why I support Trump’s call to negotiate.
Too many people here have taken a side and gotten so wrapped up in it that they can’t fathom someone that isn’t supporting their rah! rah! propaganda (which comes from both sides).
Well I’m sorry that you are triggered
Unlike the shills, I am an Orthodox Christian who knows quite a few Ukrainians and Russians, as well as many, many Serbs!
The shills don’t really know what they are talking about!! Their mindless propaganda is pressing us more and more to bigger snd wider war—perhaps even WWIII!!!!
