Agree. Time to cut and get out.

Quit the EU, quit NATO, and let them to their own consequences.

Pick and choose which ones to do business with.

Tend to our own hemisphere and the Pacific Rim.

Walking away from peace talks is not the same as walking away from sending funding.

Regardless, VERY surprised to hear this from Marco Rubio, R-Swamp.

It’s an empty threat. It’s a negotiating tactic.

The U.S. will be involved no matter what.

Whatever happens with Russia, or with Ukraine, the U.S. will be involved, one way or another.

Whatever affects the Europeans will be a matter which the U.S. can’t ignore, no matter how much we want to pretend that ‘it’s only their business and not in our interests”.

Yes, like it or not America is the leader of the world. All eyes turn to us for problem solving. This is one of Trump’s favorite tactics.

Never make a deal you’re not willing to walk away from. The Art of the Deal.

No, sh*t or get off the pot. It is an ultimatum.

When the nation that started the war, Russia, doesn’t want peace, there will be no peace. There will be no peace until Russia is beat into submission. It’s not a New York real estate deal. No judge can hear the case until Putin is in the dock for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

An empty threat unless that also means no more $$. No more equipment sales. Without US $$ for years the cesspit that is Ukraine would have collapsed early on and the lands that Ukraine had ceded to Russia years ago would be in Russia — where the electorate wanted to be.

All of the anti-Russia crappola came from the pack of lies created by the HilaryHag. And, that is the only stated reason for this asinine war. The other reasons are to retain the money laundering and sex trafficking that support Ukraine — and the globalist perverts.

I believe Trump is following the Reagan strategy, trying to lower cost of oil including having Saudi Arabia increase production I believe. Russia has lost a lot already and will not be able to keep it up if their oil revenue dries up. Reagan did it by having Saudi Arabia up production, by not helping Poland financially (forcing USSR to bear the burden of their invasion) and of course starting a new arms race with SDI (Star Wars).

An alternate world of reality, if I ever heard one.

It WAS time to cut and get uot a long time ago.

but I understand what you’re saying.

Trump can always say he gave it the old college try but look at who he had to deal with.

Just no more money and NEVER any men.

Let the zeepers keep babbling.

It’s not our war.
