I was referring to the peace plan that Trump is supposedly considering.LIB,MR BEARS said:Sam Lowry said:Cutting aid to Ukraine would certainly end the war. The rest of it means diddly.

He has about 12 hours left to end the Russia/Ukraine war
If he ends that war with a negotiated peace you and your liberal buddies are gonna be so pissed off lol
Actually the US does have leverage. With Ukraine, it is simply aid. With Russia, it is exports and fuel prices. Had we not had such a stupid petroleum policy under Biden, we'd be able to exert a great deal more pressure and much sooner.
I'm sure the US knows when and where Iranian arms are getting into Russia. It would not be difficult to make sure Ukraine has that info. With the right information, Ukraine can inflict a great deal of pressure on Russia for the US.
Russia will never accept a ceasefire along the current lines or a UN peacekeeping force in what they consider Russian territory.
We were far from exerting all the pressure we could have and, there are many different categories where sanctions can be applied
I never mentioned UN peacekeepers so I'm not sure what your point is. I guess you have one.
Even if sanctions could make a difference, the war will be over long before that happens.
