    Here's what I think will happen. The stalemate will go on for another couple of months while Trump get his ship of state battle ready. Then he will meet with Zelensky and Putin and tell Putin that NATO will not move further east and that will recognize Crimea as a Russian asset but that the war ends now along the the 2021 boundaries. Abd a dm will be established between the two countries and moving military units into that area will constitute and act of war. Zelensky will be told he has enough mansions and he should settle for that for that as no more money is coming has way unless accompanied by a butt load of CPA to see where it has all gone.

    That's exactly what it is. And anyone with even one crinkle in their brain knows it.
    And only those who have no brain at all and not even a spinal cord believe in Western propaganda about Gulags, aggressive Russia and other nonsense.

    Today the Russians are dictating the terms of peace in Ukraine. What Trump wants to propose is only his wishes, not reality. Perhaps Trump's attempt to bargain with the Russians.
    Why would the Russians negotiate with the West while ?
    The West is in a severe crisis, both politically and economically. The longer there are sanctions against Russia, the worse for the west and better for the Russians.
    Look at the industrial growth in Russia (the highest in the world, which has overtaken even China) and compare it to the depression in the west. For example, as Bild writes, in the locomotive of Europe Germany, the price of butter in Germany rose by 39.7%, the price of animal fat rose by 14.6%, and even the price of cucumbers rose by 34.5%... and so on. That's just for this not-full year. The Germans themselves are writing about it.
    And this is Germany - the most economically developed country in Europe, what can we say about the rest....
    Look at the United States. Biden has finally killed the American economy - if the Baltimore bridge can't be rebuilt for over a year, what does that say?
    The dollar is losing its position in international settlements. And if we talk about arms production, today the US produces as many shells in a year as the Russians produce shells in one week.....
    So, the Russians will dictate the terms, but not the US or Europe.
    Besides, five regions of former ukraine became part of russia. And according to the Russian constitution, the regions are Russian territory. It is legally enshrined. And no one can do anything about it.

    The border wall prevents illegals from leaving far more than entering and because leaving is so difficult compared.to entry it encourages families crossing over.
    It wold.be damn hard to deport 20 million as the estimate of.their number is only 12 millions, many, if not.most, have been in the US since W was.in office.
    Do you think the swamp will drain if it overflows? Seems to be the chosen method.
    It would be easier for the Feds to clean up after a hurricane if crazies would stop threatening them. The states as always hold primary control with the Feds offering assistance and expertise.
    Why restrict abortion beyond what it was? Your morality takes precedence?
    Transgender transitions in children. What on earth are you referring to?
    Drug epidemics have been addressed for many decades with no solutions forthcoming. You got an idea? Let's hear it.
    If you wish to fix roads I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the Republicans to get booted, they don't have a good history of that.
    Ditto on reducing deficit spending. The last balanced budgets since before Nixon was by Clinton and no Republican other than Bush Sr has lowered deficit spending since Carter and all democrats have lowered theirs.
    The wedge between Russia and China has always been there , what is it that you want?
    Trade wars with countries can only benefit consumers when price supports are given. Now unions could put on some pressure but not so much the government.
    No US President has failed to back Israel. Although they are really pushing the limit now.

    Yep, anyone with even one crinkle in their brain knows that for people who lived in Soviet Union or live today in Russia believing in such theories is very unhealthy. :roflol: :roflol: :roflol:

    But for those who live in the west and have no brain to believe in myths about the Gulag, Russian aggression and other nonsense is possible and politically useful.

    Especially for those who immigrated from the USSR, faced the Western reality and first of all wants to prove to themselves that it is supposedly good that they left the USSR or any of the republics of the USSR. Everyone understands it and he himself understands it, but it is more pleasant for him to hide his head in the sand of mythology than to realize the reality. Belief in myths for such an immigrant is like a straw for a drowning man to grasp. Otherwise, depression. :roflol::roflol::roflol:
