  1. It's so strange to see smart analysts talking about Trump as if he legitimately cares about any of these policies or outcomes. I guess we'll see the degree to which he remains an active asset for Putin, maybe with reelection he's free and clear now, but even so, he only cares about his ego in the moment.

  3. Putins claim that it is NATO ON ITS BORDERS CAUSED HIS ILLEGAL INVASION. ONLY 10% OF RUSSIAN BORDERS. RUSSIAS ECONOMIC GROWTH IS PURELY WEAPONS & EQUIPMENT THAT WILL PRODUCE NO SALES BUT BLOWN UP IN UKRAINE PRODUCING A COMPLETE LOSS TO THE ECONOMY.

  4. The US didn’t lose the war in Vietnam, it was never a conquest, it was a matter of support, the US population lacked the will to fight an insurgency and eventually gave up, just like Afghanistan. If the people locally refuse to step up at some point (again not a conquest) the US gave up and went home.

  5. Even if a Peace settlement is reached, sanctions on Russia should only be very selectively, minimally & gradually lifted and only with Russia getting the short end of the stick EVERY TIME. And only over 5-10 years, with some sanctions NEVER lifted.

  6. Some of the aid money must be used for logistics. There are millions of dollars that could be dedicated to hiring private transportation companies to get the equipment, ammo, etc,etc, to Ukraine by land, sea, air, Whatever it takes. They will jump at the opportunity to make good money by providing the transport. It's obvious that what countries are doing now is not working. Let the private industries take over in order to get the stuff to Ukraine. Appoint a person or group who's only function is to find transportation companies who want to make some money and want to go to work right now and get this stuff coordinated!!! Time is short. Make it happen now! Glory to Ukraine!!!

  7. If Ukraine should conceivably agree to a ceasefire with the present territory occupied to stay in place, or with an agreement for Kursk Ukraine-occupied territory to be exchanged for roughly the same area of Russian-occupied Ukrainian land, the big question is HOW would Ukraine's safety from new Russian attacks/sabotage be GUARANTEED?

  9. JFC. How wrong could you really be. Now the cope has moved onto the distinction between tactical and strategic…. Best not to obsess about the Russian casualties… immediately obsesses about it… What abut Ukraine's army, the part that's no longer tired, but dead? How is that working out?

  10. Not all wars end with negotiations.
    WWII ended with unconditional surrender.
    The Vietnam War ended with NVA tanks knocking down the gates of the presidential palace in Saigon.

    The Korean War has not ended.

  11. 19 minutes into this video, two obvious blunders so far… 1. believing the stats issued by the Kremlin are anywhere close to reality. 2. believing Trump may side with Urkiaine. What happened to real investigative journalism?
