    I have believed that peace in Ukraine means having to give up claims to parts of eastern Ukraine.

    I had hoped that perhaps the Trump administration would at least not be like the Biden administration, but frankly I had forgotten how America never keeps anything it promised under Trump (Iran nuclear deal torn up, and now the American hostage exchange with Hamas) OR the Biden administration.

    So I’m not sure where we go from here. I don’t see a peace deal being made.

        I can’t really determine how much of Europe’s talk about Russia and Ukraine is posturing and how much is serious, if they actually got called on it. They’re right there so any “limited exchange” wouldn’t really feel that limited.

          Considering the huge defense budget, official war economies, and defence projects being given to companies all over Europe, I don’t believe it’s just posturing.

          Europe is invested in this imperialistic war and they want to get their share of the pie at the cost of as many Ukranians as it takes I guess.

      Trump is only concerned with the matters of empire as far as he can see them in front of his face. From “stop the war because death is bad” to “hang on there’s a bunch of suits with american names telling that funding the wars is the best way to end them”

    Maybe Trump could stop for a moment, listen to the things he says, and play back this part about “everything out of his mouth”.

    I assume Trump is about to get Orban on board to invade Western Ukraine and enter the fray as a third party, PlanetSide 2 style.
