As long as they are resisting, it divert Russian resources from the Eastern front. It is a strategic as well as a symbolic decision to take Kursk and put Ukrainian in a good position to negotiate. Not pointless.

Kursk situation is indeed dire for the Ukrainians. Heavily outnumbered by the Russian and North Korean forces. They are conflicting reports that denied troops were encircled and they are still resisting. https://kyivindependent.com/kyiv-says-ukrainian-troops-regrouped-in-kursk-oblast-denies-encirclement/

To have a fair election, it will mean a good turnout of electorate. You cant have a good turnout when 7 million Ukrainians are refugees and another 3.7 miilion internally displaced and a sizeable voters are at the frontline. Russia has to agree for a permanent peace before an election can be fairly held. You can't trust Putin on a cease fire agreement.

You really believe in those kind of Russian propaganda? If Russia wanted to protect ethnic Russians, they should not bombed and killed citizens in Odessa and Kharkiv which are majority Russian speaking.

He will regurgitate Putin’s 4 conditions and called it a day. He is already parroting Putin’s narrative on the situation in Kursk so I don’t expect earth shattering breakthrough in his discussion with Putin. Putin holds all of Trump’s cards.

US has one of the toughest vetting process in the world and the percentage of approved entries are very low compare to other developed countries. This is just performative theatrics and diversion.

He should volunteer and fight with the Russians.

Theatrics with no real strategic value. Keep throwing diversions from the important matters like ending the Ukraine war and the domestic economy.

Eggs is now a contraband product as people are smuggling eggs in from Mexico. Meanwhile Trump is spending the weekend playing golf and grifting his supporters to join his Platinum Club.

UK sign aid loan which will be paid back using profits generated on sanctioned Russian sovereign assets NOT minerals. There are some loans from countries that have long maturities and low interest rates. No countries behave like immoral Trump exploiting a weak Ukraine. Why lie?

You know it’s false when Trump used the same narrative verbatim as Putin on Truth Social.

NATO without US will have a military budget that dwarfed Russia. The population of Europe is much larger than Russia. NATO will soon have a military force that will be larger in size than Russia. Putin will regret what he has done as Russia will face a much more superior NATO in terms of weaponries and military personnel. Ukraine has to join NATO and they will. Putin can only issue threats and Trump will probably abet Russia and demand non NATO membership. Zelensky will do what ever is needed to secure permanent peace and joining NATO is the only guarantee.

Putin wore his army fatigues for the first time since the invasion. That is a symbolic gesture that the war that he launched will go on. We can expect the ceasefire proposal to procrastinate with no agreement by Russia for a long time. Putin will keep piling on with unreasonable demands. Trump will lose patience and interest in pursuing the peace plan. Some other powerful country will likely to step in

All of what you posted were cut and paste from Russian propaganda media.

Wrong facts. Maga lies.

Trump raised doubts about Nato's mutual defense pack with his mafia style shakedown that caused a fracture in the alliance and created doubts whether US will fulfil the will for collective defense. That emboldened Putin's aggression. .

You don't call a fellow head of state a dictator if he is your friend. You don't Putin a Genius after invading Ukraine if you are not a bootlicker.

Here is the fact. Trump's actions weakened Ukraine, divided Nato and emboldened Putin to invade. Putin felt comfortable to launch the invasion after seeing the western allies destablished and weakened after Trump took Putin's side. Called him a genius and lead an anti-Ukraine smear campaign. He further weakened Ukraine by delaying arming Ukraine. Can you handle the fact?

Still the early stage of denial. Will give you time for anger, depression and finally acceptance that Trump is buffoon. By the way, Trump inherited a honeymoon of an economy and he would have done well by not doing anything. https://www.cleveland.com/nation/2025/03/new-poll-on-trumps-performance-has-shockingly-bad-results.html

Biden and Harris revealed their medical report. Not Trump 🤔

Has Trump revealed his medical record. Nah, he didn’t.

It’s an opinion piece. I will be objective. Trump is a lunatic and on a cognitive decline

We can expect this ceasefire negotiation to drag on and on with both sides countering their offers. We can also expect Trump to keep changing his mind on how he will deal with either sides to push his agenda. Zelensky has been strategic in dealing with Trump and has got the restoration of military aids and also intelligence sharing with clever flattery. Putin will make a mockery of Trump ceasefire plan and will keep delaying to pursue military goals. Trump's pledge of ending the war in day one will have to meet Putin's realty. He has been played.

He is rich enough to hire people to do all that.

The Economic Club interview was a classic word salad when asked about childcare legislation. From Marco Rubio and Ivanka to tarrifs on China and nothing about childcare; that was the mother of all wood salads. Surely you agree unless you drowned with Trump's kool-aid. .
