This is a very dangerous game. The Ukrainian front no longer exists. The west is contemplating direct western involvement.

Who will radiate first London, Berlin, Paris, NYC DC or Moscow

Trump will act first, by nuking NATO and handing the Ukraine to Putin.

__________
Western allies should not "not set and express red lines" in supporting Ukraine, France's foreign minister said, in comments that could be interpreted as aimed at Germany's continued refusal to provide Kyiv with long-range missiles.

Someone, alert Joe Biden, because that's what he was doing for almost 3 years... All these "red lines" and desperate pleas to "de-escalate" did was getting more people killed and any progress wasted. So, why were EU leaders too shy to express this sensible defensive action before?

It also immediately let Putin know that Biden was afraid, and that his "hybrid war" is working, so he could keep "escalating to de-escalate."

So empty threats to "nuke this/that capital/country" and "NATO/Biden starting WWIII" were flying fast and furious daily from the usual sources in Russian media (RT, Rossiya-1 etc.) and from the usual Russian trolls (including on this site) on social media.

Biden (and other NATO nations) spoon-fed Ukraine with military aid, often not what UA actually asked for and needed, and did nothing (but complain occasionally) when Trump issued a "House veto" on the bills that would appropriate military aid to Ukraine (and Israel) delaying it for about 6 months.

Delays went about as well as DOJ's and other legal cases against Trump.

I say give Ukraine their nukes back. We and Russia took them in an agreement that Russia and the US would defend them and we see how Russia has not held up their end of the deal.

No "red lines"?

Are "black lines" made by a magic sharpie still ok?

Because that's what Trumpy will use.

Trump is promising to flood Ukraine with all of the gear that Biden would not send.

Sebastian Gorka, Trump's nominee for Director of National Security Policy, calls Putin a "murderous, former KGB colonel" and a "thug".

He then claims that Trump plans to end the Ukraine by threatening to flood Ukraine with more military "aid".

What Trumpy has said is that if Moscow does not start peace talks, he will up the ante by supplying advanced arms to Kyiv.

But he also has said pooty pants gets to keep the land he has stolen.

So apparently all he has to do is "negotiate" now.

There will be so much winning! ( for fascist totalitarians)
