Ukraine conflict

Quote: rxwine

Come to think of it, any President who has trusted Putin has made a mistake. Unless you have a gun at his back, I don't think you can trust him even a little bit.

Hopefully, Trump has finally seen that although I am not convinced he will.

At this point, falling out of windows is a public health issue.

About a week or 10 days ago they found a body who's hands and feet were tied up and he was shot seven times in the back. It was a suspected suicide.

What else can you expect from Russians?

A bunch of peasants ruled by Dark Lords.

If 90% if Ukraine is destroyed and deal is reached by Trump to end the war there, some will call that a "peace" deal. That's what some are trying to give Trump credit for in Gaza.

Right now 20 starving, tortured Israeli hostages are in the terrorists’ hands.
Right now, Israel continues to turn Gaza into a parking lot with significant loss of life

If Trump can help arrange the end of those two events, then damn straight he should get ‘credit’ for such!

His proclamation for ‘everlasting peace’ is unrealistic. There is no way the dozen or so nearby Muslim dominated countries will ever not seek the destruction of the State of Israel. One day it’s Egypt, later it’s Gaza, then Iran takes its turn, then passes the baton to Lebanon….

Edit. Should really be in Israel thread.

Then maybe Donny shouldn't engage in so much hyperbole...

Oh, I'm giving him credit if this works, but this is the end result of war destruction NOT by a peace plan. Just like I said, if Ukraine and Russia could get a peace plan now where they are basically stalemated, that would be a peace plan,, but if it comes after Ukraine is almost completely destroyed that's not a peace plan.

He’s been the epitome of hyperbole since he entered the public eye decades ago. It’s not a surprise. The electorate was aware of it before pulling the lever. One easy example. He was going to end the wars in Gaza and Lebanon on his first day in office. Anyone who actually believed that timeline is frankly plain stupid. But if you extrapolate to ‘I am better suited to help end those wars than candidate Harris’ then that is believable. Not necessarily true, but a reasonable assertion.
When he said he’d secure the borders, we all know that’s impossible. If he said I’ll be way better for border security than failed border czar Harris, that would be believable.
When he said he’d end inflation, that of course is beyond his abilities or power he has. If he said he would be better than Bidenflation, it may not be true, but it’s a reasonable goal.

Point being, Trump’s promises are often ridiculous. But they do point us in the right direction.

No high places to fall to his death?

One of Vladimir Putin’s foes has been found dead in Turkey where he had been living in exile under a different name.

Abakar Abakarov, who ran the Telegram channel ‘Morning Dagestan’, suffered multiple stab wounds, but the exact circumstances surrounding his killing have not yet been disclosed.

A cleaner discovered his body in a pool of blood at a rented villa in Istanbul on Friday after he has been missing for more than a week.
