Trump made the right move. I've had enough of the wars and proxy wars. Peace is on the table, they should have taken it. So glad I don't live in the UK right now.
It's sweet that you've had enough of the wars, like you might have had enough of a Netflix series.
The peace on the table is no such thing. It's a temporary appeasement of a murderous dictator who is against everything the US used to stand for. Shameful.
Abandoning control in the European theater while doubling down on the Levant is like if the USSR announced they forfeit the Cold War to focus on Afghanistan. It is a bloody warpath, dictated by nonsense. Trading one proxy war for another isn't going to save the American economy, or improve American security.
There will never be another Minsk agreement though, with or without the US at the table. It's pathetic that any credible military leader would attempt to push that a second time.
Russia's got a long history of mulching their subjects, I'm pretty sure "peace" is the peace of the grave, for many souls currently living in Ukraine.
So they're not really heavily incentivized toward peace under the "please dig your own grave" terms on offer.
Mass graves, torture chambers, and the lowest freedom in the whole world.
You have any bright ideas on how to achieve peace that does not involve asking Ukraine to surrender to an invading Russian military and give up the land Russia stole?
Also, would you sing the same tune if somebody invades your country?
There is no “right” for any country to join nato. And Ukraine is not a nato ally.
The way it is currently, this is a forever war on low boil that will continue for ever. All the current situation accomplishes is sale of arms to Ukraine.
The Europeans manufacture good armaments as well. They are more than accomplished to provide whatever aid Ukraine needs.
This is the peace that is being aksed for Ukraine to accept.
Surrender to an oppressor is never peace.
We support other free nations…. so that we don’t have to fight directly (and alone).
As are we.
1. There is no security guarantees. 2. There is no future help if Russia breaks the cease-fire and tries taking Ukraine again. 3. The cease-fire will simply give Russia time to regroup and launch another offensive later. 4. Trump thinks Zelensky is a dictator 5. Zelensky has already offered to step down as president if Trump gave security guarantees.
