War in Ukraine

[MontyPython]

This is great news for Ukraine. Probably means the arms keep flowing from the US which is critical.

I *think* this means the war continues. Ukraine won’t fold and now it has the continued military backing from us.

President Trump told reporters that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit the White House on Friday to sign a minerals deal.

I didn't think Trump was going to wait weeks for a signed deal, but its just bait.... Friday.

So, if true, he signs the deal, within a few weeks the Europeans have to have a peace deal but not sure they are talking to the Russians. I'm assuming if the Europeans don't have a agreeable deal with the Russians than Trump will have to re-enter and go to phase 2. If the U.S., Europe and the Russians are agreeable to a solution and the Ukraine is the hold up, well, back to the UN. I don;t think Trump cares what the deal is, he just wants the killing to stop. If that little Jester doesn't sign the deal, I would expect the U.S. to go straight back into the UN by next week and it won't be pretty. Trump is saying what he wants i.e. war to end and get moving getting it done.

I said it from the start. Trump will flip his opinion on Ukraine in a heart beat if he can be sold on it. Call it the Trumpinstan and Trump would defend it to the last American. Replace Zelensky with Miss Ukraine and have her flirt with Trump and Putin's calls wouldn't even be answered. Trump is about image image image. Russia still looks stronger than Ukraine. Not as strong as they once did, but relatively they are still stronger than Ukraine. that is what matters to Trump. If Ukraine had retaken all of its land and pushed 100 miles in Russia he would be siding with Ukraine.

Trump is not nearly as ideological as either side wants him to be.

Putin might be able to negotiate with Miss Ukraine as well. You might be onto something.

Will some of yall just quit trying to make excuses for Russia? It's ridiculous even if you have a point.

Now with that said, I stick with my original argument. I think the reason why Ukraine, Europe and the US are in this mess is because of the clown show in the White House from Jan 2021 - Jan 2025.

Weakness invites aggression. I also think there is some funny money being passed.

Nobody is making excuses for Russia, if it were me I would not have been so nice to everyone involved.

If I were Russian, I would tell you to eat me as you caused this mess.

That is really what your government is saying now... without getting into details. War is not pretty...maybe a lesson to learn but this country never seems to learn.

For record, I think all of that is immaterial at this stage...not much we can do about the damaged caused. It time we move on to getting out of this mess.
