"On this topic at least, the Trump administration is making a significant effort towards peace."

A "peace" entirely on Putin's terms since according to your reporting, Putin is crushing it and holding all the cards. Trump just wants to be part of the dog and pony show so that:

1. He can hopefully bully or blackmail himself into getting a. Nobel; or
2. At least get himself another grievance for his list to fester over if he doesn't get one.

What's next, Trump brings "peace" to Gaza?
I can't remember, did Neville Chamberlain get a Nobel for securing "peace" for the Sudetenland?

Ukraine and NATO have lost. Wake up.

Don't believe me?

Then why has Ukraine been force ably conscripting soldiers, and now is fighting w grandpa's and teenagers?

Limited ammo.
Limited missiles.
Highly limited Parriot missiles.
Limited manpower.

Russia

Unlimited ammo.
Unlimited missiles.
1.5 million man, rested, military.
Manufacturing powerhouse.
Backed up by North Korea (China) and Iran.
Holds 'escalatory dominance- -new Hazel hypersonic Mach 10 unblockable missile with 36 programmable sub missiles.

Do the math.

He was asked to wear a suit and tie for his next White House visit, it would be interesting to see if he abides by that.

The nonverbals aren't good. Z looks jacked up, rambling, and the group doesn't look positive.


He was very clear about communicating what is most key to Ukraine.
What the "architecture" of the security guarantees looks like.

Not sure why you missed this.

I kinda like it: he abided by the request but maintained his toned-down, all-black style.

That's fine, just don't say Trump secured the "peace." Putin invaded and has basically conquered the Ukraine (granted with Super Power handcuffs on that resulted in 1M Russian deaths/casualties).

Any "concessions" Putin makes now are mere window dressing to jerk off Trump so that he can further manipulate him down the road for more Russian gains.

Will Putin/Trump get Time Co Person of the Year? How about Co Nobel Peace Prize?

Ball don't lie, facts are facts. Stop the killing. Mexico would never beat us in a war, neither would Central and South America combined. Russia started slow, had a peace deal agreed to, we nixed it, they ramped up recruitment, training, drone production, and the results speak for themselves. Decades of Eurowennie posturing doesn't topple the bear, neither does CIA / NATO malevolent plans to destroy a Christian nation. Ballgame.

Continue to fight, Ukraine loses more land. Maybe you want that bc maybe we trigger a worldwide recession. You do hate Trump that much. TDS is real.

P.S. The above is not a tweet.

Six peace deals in nine months would be historic.m, but Obama got a Nobel for 'aspirations' or DEI bias.

"….malevolent plans to destroy a Christian nation."

So Russia follows the same brand of Christianity that MAGA does?

I get the green sweater or tee angle, it says hey, we're in a war. What's the point of a black tee shirt though, "we're going out to the goth club tonight"?

US, with a small local logistical assist by possibly Norway, and complete complicity from the deep states of several European countries, notably Denmark, Germany and Sweden.

A Pew Research Center study in April 2025 shows that 84% of Americans have little or no confidence in Putin to handle world affairs responsibly.

Or not!

"Russia, seeking to emphasize its stance on peace negotiations as European leaders gathered in the White House, issued a lengthy statement on Monday rejecting the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine as part of any security guarantees.. "

^Russian territorial demands (the 4 oblasts they are in in their totality) might be a bigger sticking point, the fact that they weren't mentioned so far is a good sign.

Clinton disagrees with this take, Dubya made similar statements, as did Obama, back when he was POTUS.

My guess is the lines will be frozen where they are for the time being and that will be that. I don't believe Ukraine will give up the area they have defended heavily in the north and Russia knows that they would never agree to do so. Ukraine will pull back from any Russian territory they hold and that's the end. Then it will be peace keepers for 2 years or so while the borders are established. Ukraine won't be allowed to join NATO (I do wonder if they will be allowed into the EU though and if the EU even wants that tbh).
