I’ve conducted business in Russia and can say for the wealthy elite the lure of money making deals is stronger than principle. Putin has made victory to hard to stomach so they’re taking the easy way out and far to many in the USA support the approach.
Kinda...but Russia had this one shot to capture Ukraine and failed, even if the conflict is frozen and they rebuild their army Europe and Ukraine won't be sitting on their hands doing nothing but build their own defenses and weapons, so realistically Russia has no shot to ever capture Ukraine
Yeah. Some clowns said Zelenskyy mishandled Trump -- but Z had nothing to gain. Trump's peace deal? Talking with the Russians but not Ukraine? Telling Ukraine to give up territory? That was not a peace deal. Now Trump has called himself out.
There’s no « Trump deal » anymore. It’s down the toilet with « Riviera Gaza. » The world has stopped listening to this American fool. We will do just fine without the US.
Not a frozen conflict. Russia's war machine is fracturing against western weapons and materiel funneled into Ukraine. Sanctions grind Russia's economy. Ukraine attacks Russia's refineries, oil depots, and weapons depots. Soon Russian territories break away, or China seizes them. Putin deposed?
Great article by @markhertling.bsky.social . My father served in Germany during the occupation & in the 1960s. Once, while on guard duty, he helped a Czech guard defect. He spoke fluent Slovak & Russian.We had family in the Eastern Block and I remember the great sorrow my family felt for them.
I think Zelensky and Europe will build an alliance and will leave Trump and his Mob Boss tactics out of the process. Trump cannot be trusted. He will violate treaties and ally with Putin and other Autocrats. The world needs to ignore him and make agreements with other nations until he's gone
Trump is in no way negotiating in the interests of 🇺🇦, but solely in the interests of Trump. He also seeks to sufficiently please putin, promised huge financial benefits in return.
Europe needs to stand up & neutralize Trump running solo.
"I make the deal w/ putin, 🇺🇦 just has to accept". Lunacy!

We'll deal with Trump. You focus on driving out the Russians.
Sincerely,

Here comes the #GeneralStrike.
He wants Ukraine to stop shooting back. That won't happen.
There's no upside for #ukraine, but it was worth the trip to show WHY they can't ink a contract, or "freeze the conflict", or concede anything.
So #EU goes to "war economy" w/ russia as the enemy and goodbye pooty. This summer.
