Well say what you like you like but Trump certainly knows how to push people's buttons as evidenced by the usual and predictable posts on here by some. The man shoots from the hip and definitely has his own style but the upshot is this war will be brought to end and the longer it takes the more territory Ukraine will lose. The eastern front is moving west and doing so faster than ever. 

His antics might ignite a larger scale war in Europe, and his and Vance' diplimacy are that of school yard bullies. Could be the right approach, could be WW3.

The thing is that Trump is an atypical Republican. He doesn't want war. Indeed it's not just Republican hawks that want war, you don't have to look that far back in history to see the Democrats hawkish approach. As for alienating US allies maybe it's time they started supporting themselves more rather than relying on the US taxpayer.

You are mistaken trump is the opposite of a republican…..

Unfortunately, I think that you are correct.

 

However, to answer your previous question, 'How could this war have been brought to an end?'. Imo not like this. The exclusion of Ukraine - and to a lesser extent, Europe - from these preliminary talks stinks of a bi-lateral Russia/US carve-up. Russia gets a land grab and the US gets economic concessions e.g. access to Rare Elements. Ukraine gets ..well, what exactly? And Europe gets to foot the bill for policing the arrangement.

 

Imo what should of happened - but almost certainly won't - is for Trump to have said: "Call a ceasefire, freeze the existing terrorital positions. However, this does not mean that these positions are the starting point for negotiations. If you (Putin) do not agree to these conditions, we will put boots on the ground. If you (Zelensky) do not agree, we will withdraw military aid". 

 

I recognise that that this is a high-risk strategy both in terms of possible military escalation if Putin refuses, and also domestically for Trump from a political perspective, but imo it offers the possibility of a much better outcome for Ukraine than the current carpitulation.

Cheers but don't listen too hard to the ramblings of some on here. What's happened are just initial talks to test the waters with Russia. Trump himself has said that Ukraine necessarily needs to be included in any negotiations toward a cease fire/peace accord. In the end Russia will keep most of the eastern region they have taken. I can't realistically see any way around this. Zelenkyy's position to bargain is not strong.  As for threatening Putin with boots on ground I can't see this happening either. Putin's hip pocket will need to be threatened and this will be focused toward oil and gas exports. Without income from this (which of course is most definitely helping to fund his war) the Russian economy will be in big problems.

You were at one with Tug, Im sure, when he was viciously spewing hate at Trump supporters before the election. The policies he therefore supports are harmful to our country, He hates America. He supports stealing our tax dollars to promote Socialism. He supports Hamas. He supports racism and censorship.  No need to say more.

 

My character: We the People of the United States, et. seq. I am an American and won lifes lottery. I like free speech, good books, weed, money, Nascar, rule of law, Soccer, ancient history and machine guns. All men are created equal, but the afterward can differ.

It was Biden leading us toward WWIII. Your memory seems to have blocked this reality. As for larger scale war in Europe why don't you elaborate on this rather than just giving your usual unsupported comment.

No more. Americans have become xenophobic, racist, isolationist, and fearful. Your leader has played on your basest instincts.

 

The path to betraying Ukraine is already set. Peace talks without Ukraine, with concessions already made.

 

No ally will trust you. Cower behind your tariff walls, and watch your standard of living decline.

 

You have become a nation of gutless cowards. The rest of the democratic world has nothing but contempt for you.

 

You will become slaves. You just don't realize it yet.

Trump is an opportunistic liar, he does not have a genuine bone in his body and he tends to abandon allies and coddle dictators and serial killers. That's just who is and what he does.

 

None of this should surprise us anymore, however he does continue to surprise and amaze with his ignorance and failings. He will pay the price for this and so will his supporters, it's just a matter of. 

 

Unfortunately the US is going to pay an enormous price for his policies and his other recklessness. 

But hey, that’s the beauty of democracy right? The PEOPLE knows best…

Trump categorically said that he would not exclude using military coercion to gain control of Greenland. Better that you stop trolling as you are embarrassing yourself.

Ukraine was sympathetic to the Nazis in WW2. The book Babi Yar is an eye opener as to the historical hatred of Jews in Ukraine.

 

Mr Zelenskky is an actor/comedian and Jewish.

As I said he is not you're typical Republican hawk. Do you know what a hawk is in relation to international military doctrine? My guess is you don't otherwise you would not have called me wrong.

Donald Trump seems to be desplaying, old age, and maybe he is not in a good position to
