Start with 41,000 plus foreigners allowed into ONE CITY, NYC, over the past 6 months. And they show no signs of stopping.
How do you punish someone for the death of a city?
If he were in a negotiating position, it would be easy. He obviously knows exactly how to do it. It would be beyond foolishness to tell the whole world how he would do it.
The most I can do is visit Russia on line - I've done that many times to all regions. It's stunning what he's done with farming in the south and with cattle.... You are fortunate to have actually visited there several times.
We’ll simply disagree on that note.
By the time the election comes in Nov. 2024 a whole bunch of stuff can happen—these are but a few—I bet you can think of a few i missed.
1. Trump will be dead by an assassins hand.
2. We will be fighting a world war with battlefields in Poland, The Baltics, Ukraine, Greece, Serbia, Vietnam, Korea, South Pacific, Africa, South America (Brazil) and Alaska.
3. All elections cancelled because of the war.
4. Civil War—North vs South.
5. New China Germ Warfare plague slays 1/4 of all Americans.
6. Nuke war—all major cities in Europe, USA. Russia, China, Canada Gone.
7. Joe Biden named President for life.
So we’re just supposed to watch the world blow up while Trump sits there in his smug arrogance claiming he has a secret answer to it all, that we’re not worthy of knowing?
I call BS. I know what Trump’s solution is, and anyone who’s followed him should too, he just doesn’t want to say it out loud because it’s wrong. He would just surrender to Russia. He already called Putin “a genius” for invading Ukraine to begin with.

“At this juncture, I don’t think Trump needs to show his plan. If Biden and all his military and diplomatic advisors can’t think of a solution, they are either imbeciles or want this war to escalate. In any case, they sure aren’t going to follow Trump’s plan.”
But don’t you see? If he publishes his plan, he is in effect challenging Biden to respond to it! It would be a win-win for Trump politically: Either Biden agrees with the plan (impossible), in which case he acknowledges Trump as its author and pisses off his own party; or he ignores it or criticizes it, which forces HIM to publish HIS plan.
Don’t you see that?
“I think you just said we are going to have nuclear war with Russia no matter what we do.”
No, I didn’t say that. If there is a nuclear war, it will be Russia that sets off the first nuke.
“It assumes exactly the opposite.”
Not in the context of his question.
“It sounds to me like you were a ditty-bopper in Turkey. We were on the floor above the ditty-boppers at Keesler.”
No, the ditty-boppers were the X1s. I was a 292X2. We knew Morse, but what we really did was intercept and chase the sophisticated systems and crypto. If they sent a freq change in Morse, we’d know where they were going and we could get there at the same time they did, so we wouldn’t miss a beat (in theory, anyway). We were on one side of Ops, and the X1s were on the other. What were you? A 202; a 203?
“You left out the part where Russia abolished the Communist Party along with the Politburo and now has a Bicameral Parliament with the upper house the Federation Council and the lower house the State Duma.”
What they did was go from communism to fascism, regardless how they set up their legislature. The authoritarian mindset hasn’t much changed from the USSR to the RF, though. But The RF is weaker than the USSR was, and less stable, and more irrational.
Ah, I DID mention him by name. I reply to so many posts it’s sometimes hard to keep track which post and which poster I’m responding to. In any event, I was just quoting what was said back in 1938.
“You really should try to remember what you post - as quoted above, you stated that ‘Czechoslovakia WAS sacrificed and we got a world war anyway.’ If you really need a list of ‘which ‘multiple countries’... this untested, unbloodied, ‘competent [German] military’ conquered”, look it up under the “world war” you yourself referenced.”
Ah, your reading comprehension is poor. You ignore that I said, “The comparison was 1938 and abandoning Czechoslovakia to its fate.” And you conveniently left out that I said IN 1938! What “multiple countries” did the “untested and unbloodied” German army conquer IN 1938! There were none. There were a handful of Stukas employed in the Spanish Civil War; there was the bloodless re-occupation of the Rhineland (Germany) in 1936; and the bloodless annexation of Austria (the Anschluss) in 1938, which was encouraged by and applauded by Austria (except for the Jews there, and some intelectuals). That’s it.
“I note that you cannot dispute the simple fact that Putin’s under-funded, under-trained, under-equipped, and completely incompetent conventional forces not only couldn’t take Kiev, but pose no real threat to NATO. Congratulations!”
The whole purpose of NATO is to dissuade Russia from attacking. Yet, did Russia get the message, or even pay it any heed if it did? Russia has been saber-rattling about taking action against Poland and the Baltics, and even hinted at Romania.
I believe in the old adage: Peace through Strength. I also subscribe to the old maxim: Sī vīs pācem, parā bellum.
“Your grasp of history here is tenuous at best.”
Nice try, son.
Show me where in my post#61 that what I said was inaccurate or wrong.
In negotiations, you don’t tell what you’re going to do ahead of time.
Yes, Russia would have to give something and get something. And so would Ukraine. That’s what negotiations are.
A lot of it would be secret, as in the past. Trump has a sensitivity to what people want, and what they might not want others to know they gave in on. I trust him to do this. But of course he doesn’t have the chance now.
We, of course, would get the big prize: the end of the third world war. Our children and grandchildren would get to have a life.
