Trump Victory Will Signal Shift in Ukraine War

Wednesday, November 06, 2024

With Donald Trump's victory in the United States presidential election, Ukrainians now face an all-but-certain American policy shift in the midst of a war that is turning against them. Russia has made some of the swiftest territorial advances in recent months, and diplomatic efforts are underway by multiple countries to find a negotiated settlement.

Time for an Armistice.

Nobody Needs to Die. Know when to Quit.

@#2 ... Know when to Quit. ...

Based upon what he has said, fmr Pres Trump is looking to be a weak surrender President, rolling over for the dictators of the world.

The party of Reagan is a shell of its former self.

A "Shift"? No. An end. With Zelenskyy dead, millions of Ukrainians folded back into Russia, Putin not yet satisfied, Western Europe sweating and King Dotard II getting better loan terms from Alfa Bank and seeking a Nobel Peace Prize. A stain on this country that will never wash clean...

Sadly, The UkrAaine has good reason to believe they will soon be abandoned by the West to be absorbed by the new USSR.

1-7. I believe the war started after Trump left office, maybe just maybe he will find a way to reverse it. Biden/Harris couldn't, they made it worse, they also let Iran run rough shot over Israel. And btw that could have been a big reason Trump won the election, Jews like everyone saw how failed the Biden foreign policy is.

It seems like people were not as interested.

"It seems like people were not as interested."

Nothing new; we had isolationists in the 931s too. Those fools realized that with aggressive dicrators like Hitler and Putin isolationism won't protect you from attack but it does give ruthless dictators more time to build their war machines and I don't compare Putin to Hitler lightly Putin is smarter than Hitler, he bought someone he thought would be President and he was right. Sad day in America when our President is ownwd by a foreign dictator but, at the time, no American bank would loan him a dime so he sold to the first person he found who would give him the money he needed.

The Russian army can't be rebuilt to it's 2020 arms level in the next 30 years.

Funny to think it now, but if Der Dotard had Hitler's generals, they would be telling that fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat to get in there and finish Russia, not let them slip the noose. Remember the Siege of Leningrad? It was in the end a failure, an early example of applying the 'Rope A Dope" strategy to warfare. The Russians took a terrific pounding, yet stood. The Wehrmacht wanted to finish the Russians. That's why they attacked.

Hey, GOPers--learn y'all some history...

If you want to see Ukraine win convince the biden Administration to give them moabs and the planes to drop them on Russian positions in Ukraine.

They only made about a dozen of those and C-130s would be sitting ducks.

Ukraine will never beat Russia in the two and a half months they have left to live.
