Ukraine agrees to 30 day cease-fire,...

I'll be interested to see what sanctions are possibly left. Let's start by kicking every Russian citizen not seeking asylum out of this country. And permitting no new visas from them.
My daughter has two co-workers from Russia who are naturalized and she swears they are the hardest working people she’s ever known. Both are women married to Russian men and they came with no money. They started businesses and are doing fantastic.
 
It gonna be interesting how this plays out.

Hopefully Zelensky goes into full fluff mode, praises Trump for the cease fire. Says he should win the Nobel peace prize etc.

When Russia rebuffs it Trump might just be a big enough narcissist to open the weapons flood gates.

One can hope 😀

What has Trump done so far that hasn't benefitted Putin? I'm not optimistic.

I heard that some European leaders where coaching him on how to deal with Trump. Giving Trump the credit may have been a start.
 
Waiting to see if trump follows through with the intelligence and military support. A few days ago we saw the US tearing down structures we built to handle supplies at an airport in Europe. Will he use that as an excuse not to rush in some types of aid?
Hopefully the intelligence has already resumed. That’s just flipping a switch, more or less.

Resuming weapons deliveries and sharing intel can’t be super popular with Putin.

Like I said..we’re gonna see soon enough.

That does give me some hope that he is honestly trying even though I don't believe he has any idea what he is doing.

I do think he eventually gets bored of it, withdraws all support for Ukraine and lifts sanctions on Russia.

Exactly. Just need to suck him off, perhaps literally, fake an orgasm, etc.

How's that different than deporting immigrants legally in this country???

Oh, yeah...because your family member has a connection.

Oh, sweetie...the hypocrisy.

I don't see how Russia could drag this out for 2 more years. They are depleted in cannon fodder, cannons, tanks to launch artillery from and missles. Not to mention generals.. Yet Putin doesn't care how many body bag his boys come home in.
What will be interesting is how many generations will it take to replace those who left or those who were unable to leave.
The lack of men in the population going forward will hurt their economy

I met a coworker today at the new job I started at two weeks ago. It's a retirement community and she manages the gym and works with a lot of the residents. Gal is seven years younger than me and maybe 110 lbs soaking wet. I wouldn't want to piss her off. She is awesome, but a total hardcore!

It feels like this is going to end with Ukraine losing land and the US having some variety of economic colonization over mineral rights.
Sounds about right. I figure that makes the whole thing a foreign policy success for the USA (I'm pretty cynical about the true aims of our foreign policy), plus our defense contractors made a lot of money along the way.
 
It's not ending the war that is the issue, it's what the result ultimately becomes.

He can end the war by letting Russia conquer and occupy all of Ukraine. He could end the war by nuking Kiev.

The only acceptable ending is one which gives Ukraine hard security guarantees. Anything less than that is simply a period of time for Russia to rebuild and modernize it's military for another go in 5 years time.

We all want the war to end. But we want to end it in a way that preserves Ukrainian independence in the long term.
This is me not being snarky or crude, but this is a tale as old as time. Since Mesopotamia or Eden or whatever is one’s individual beliefs on the origin of man… people/territory have been conquered. The map as you know it is the result of great empires, their rise and fall.

I feel like we are pretty conceited to think we can steer this in a different direction without actually getting involved.

Do we want this to end or not? Because right now what we are doing isn’t much different than thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting here.
 
If there is one fairly safe bet it is that you don't make a narcissist look stupid without a escalated response.



Godspeed.


To those of you, so blinded by politics, you are aroused at the idea that Putin will break his word and make Trump look like a fool at the cost of Ukrainian lives, so you can get your confirmation bias that Trump is an idiot, I say this from the bottom of my heart, you are pathetic.
So it is pathetic to predict what is probably going to happen? Or is it your way of saying “you better not say ‘told ya’”?
 
Yeah, not a good look for you here…I am sure they would have rather not had to collect on that. Remember who started it?
"Not a good look" it's called real life. He just went toe to toe with a super power because we gave him thr best weapons on the planet. He wouldn't have lasted 3 months without it, it is what it is. JD Vance's words were "when/then Putin invaded" which tells me Trump knows Putin is the aggressor, as I said yesterday I will be interested in the sanctions or repercussions. Also, speaking as a guy who comes from little and has done OK for himself, being able to work off debt is a hell of a lot better than having to pay cash.


The best defense Ukraine can ask for to insure this isn't going to happen again are American citizens at risk of getting caught in the middle ( imo). And again, they are about to have an industry built for them.
 
That should galvanize Europe behind Ukraine even more if it occurs.
The Euros can’t due to EU debt policy. Only Germany can but not in good shape to do it.

Trump and Putin know this.

One of two things will happen.

Ukraine collapse

More direct US involvements beyond firing long range missiles into Russia

Oh and the 3rd. Ww3

So Europe has safe guards in place to not go $36 trillion into debt but they shit on America for not going even more in debt?
 
Putin has to be laughing his arse off. Trump has already tipped his hand with all the conditions placed on Ukraine - no NATO membership, no post-war US security force, give up territory, and expect no reparations for the $500 billion infrastructure damage. And what is Trump requesting from Russia other than a 30 day cease fire???

VZ has been laughing all the way to the bank for the last 3 years, the American ATM is closed. It would behoove all parties to bring this to a peaceful end.
 
Russia is just getting started…they ain’t stopping and they know full well that the next 3-4 years are free for them to expand its growth/borders.
Yeah because this all started during Trump 1.0... oh wait no it didn't... just like the border, this wasn't an issue until the Dems mucked it up.
