I did enjoy seeing the little French Guy (Macron) run circles around Trump yesterday. Charmed the crap out of him as Trump loves, then Macron punched him in the nose relative to the structure of the European "loan" as Trump said. Macron fact checked the Liar in Chief in real time on TV and set him straight. The look on Trump's fat face was priceless.
Amusing how we all look situations differently.
Often twisting realities to enhance our pre conceived notions.
I just want to see this war end and hopefully get some of the billions Biden gave away returned to benefit American taxpayers.
I think everyone want to see the war end, just like Israel /Gaza. The FACT that Trump continues to repeat that Ukraine was the aggressor and started the war. No one in their right mind could possibly believe that. For anyone who does, please let me know the specifics. Did Russia invade Ukraine or not? Unbelievable that our President can get people to believe it. Howdy Hitler.
Not everyone wants to see the war end on realistic terms.
Ukraine's military is clearly bleeding to death.
Her infrastructure blasted; the people worn out.
Trump is right to push for a settlement....Biden never had the juice to do so.
Don't agree with all of Trump's comments; however I suspect he is looking beyond a truce and attempting to build some long term business realationships with Russia as a way to have real security in Europe.
Russia has no more territory than it had in April 2022.
Russia, not Ukraine, has had to bring in tens of thousands of troops from North Korea, Yemen, and North Africa. And some estimates have half their new weapons and ammo coming from China, North Korea, and Iran.
1. So the front line is static...Russia can't even advance past what it held 3 years ago
2. Russia has to rely on conscript forces from 2nd and 3rd world Nations
How do these facts change the narrative about how Russia is this great threat that the USA needs to confront in a bloody proxy war? Or else Russia will invade the rest of Europe....
I've never argued that Russia is a threat to invade the rest of Europe.
But, yes, Russia is a threat to the U.S. geopolitically and in other significant ways simply virtue of being on the opposite side on most major world issues, trying to undermine us in every region of the world, and aligning with our worst enemies.
And I do not dismiss Russia invading additional Euro countries.
The biggest threat to me, and I hate to sound so nihilistic, is that some point we will go to war with China. It may be direct, it me direct but in another country, it may be aggressive proxy. But it will happen. And the more Russia supports China and vice versa, the worse off we are.
Finally, Russia's difficulties in Ukraine doesn't mean they are weak per se. Rather, most of the world strongly underestimate Ukraine's resolve and skill, and, of course, we cannot understate how much support the free world has given Ukraine.
