…then a good political cartoon is worth 10,000.
 
There are people who want this war to continue and there are people who want to find a way to end it.
Which are the evil ones?

The ones who want to blow a dictator to achieve it.

Maybe Ukrainians should decide when they are ready to stop. Instead, you want to decide for them and if they don't like your "deal" that you negotiate without them you leave them to die.
 
I think Putin is evil. But I also want a cease fire.

Serious question @gohawks50 , what would you do at this point if you were president to resolve this meatgrinder and stalemate?
Maybe invite all the involved parties to the table and not say the one most affected doesn't hold any cards and doesn't deserve a seat. Act as an impartial mediator and not as a proxy for the attacking country.

Make sense to you?

There is a country that started the war and there is a country that was attacked. Which country is the evil one?

Serious question @gohawks50, if you were president what would you do at this point to resolve this meatgrinder and stalemate?
 
I see the unamericans are being unamerican as always.

Does that slob not own a suit btw? He's not fooling anyone with his larping behavior. He's not a tough guy lol

I would attempt to negotiate a deal where both countries give something and both get something for peace. Right now the only proposal I am aware Trump is offering is for Ukraine to give a portion of it's profits from rare earth minerals in exchange for Putin to pause the attacks. There are no security guarantees offered to Ukraine and no concessions from Russia.

I don't believe you achieve peace by basically punishing the country that was invaded. Are you aware of a better offer? What would you do @NorthernHawkeye ?

The evil ones are the ones who invaded without provocation and began raping and killing innocent women and killing and abducting innocent children. What's your next question? The evil ones are those supporting that effort. What is your next question?

A partial land swap for occupied territories, but portions of Russian occupied areas with heavily populated ethnic Russians would be retained by Russia.

British and French peacekeepers and U.S. construction contractors enter the country.

Russia leaves Ukraine, entirely, and we don't let Ukraine use NATO bases to launch drones and eliminate Russia's oil refineries, entirely.

Hit every refinery in Russia 2x/week. They won't last.
Just like they have been trying to take out undersea internet fiber linking NATO countries, use the NATO resources to gut his oil infrastructure and deny it. Just get it done. What's he gonna do?

Had to come back and edit a half hour later? Shouldn't you be somewhere wearing a singlet & asking guys to tussle with you?

Gotta fix typos when you see them. Some of us have standards like that ;)

State is going today my guy!
I know state is going. Didn't know if you'd be paying attention or just staying home to spend your Saturday talking about how much you love Trump and Musk on a message board.

Oh no, I'm here. Odds are high I'll be in a trophy pic before the end of the night ;)
Doesn't Russia get that as well?

Your solution is to give in to Russia. Figures.
I think the actual solution proposed went soaring over your head

You are correct and will be persecuted for it.

I don’t agree with the demeanor and tone of Trump/JD during the meeting yesterday but they are the ones using the words “end war” where no one else is.

Zelensky and Trump are showmen and yesterday was political theater at its finest. My guess is the back room talks will continue. Ukraine is probably willing to concede mineral extraction but it will all come down to land plain & simple.

Not fun and not cool, but for the fighting to end, Ukraine will need to be willing to re-draw their boundaries. Otherwise, the fighting continues indefinitely towards a stalemate.

But, if Ukraine finally cedes Crimea and parts of the eastern front to Putin, does Russia rest and re-arm and make another push west and we start all over again in a few years? A good argument can be made that would happen and this may also be correct.

I don’t think I would criticize DJT for trying to end the war. That’s noble. But, I think it’s time the right realizes that a 10-15 year stalemate, if fought by Ukrainian troops only (backed by the west) may actually be the best possible outcome. Just outlast Putin and their last fighting age generation. Weird strategy, but maybe the right one).

And the question becomes who in the west will sacrificially support Ukraine? Not just throw them a few bucks and ammo but do enough that it hurts. I think DJT is correct that Zelensky is not fully aboveboard. I think one condition of US support is that Zelensky holds democratic elections and allow their people to decide. And, of course, the CIA will prop up a puppet-candidate AGAIN.
 
If confirmed, return to Ukraine.

Think any deal is with the paper it’s printed on without major teeth if violated. The fact Trump is cozying up to Putin shows how no peace deal will last. That they are currently negotiating . It will merely be a pause. It will embolden him to go after Baltic States next. Putin is a thug and only respects strength.
Trump gave out a lot of weakness vibes yesterday. Essentially parroting his talking points.
