One side or the other collapses.
If you are seeking a collapse of Putin's regime, perhaps you want Trump to commit U.S. doughboys to the lines.
PS- I don't think you could have possibly thought the history through.

Making peace with Russia is the best global security you can have
With due respect to some other times when you are right. But you cannot make a deal with the devil. Especially if you realize that the "peace" you and Trump are promoting really means that Russia is rewarded for invading Russia by the retention of the occupied lands.
I think I know about 100 times more European history than you, Earp.
Why would US troops be needed in the frontlines if Putin collapses?
And btw, Czarist Russia collapsed several months before the first Doughboy went over to Europe.
Very good post even if I don't share all your views on economic matters.
Tying Carney to Trudeau's policies is normal party politics. Carney will have to differentiate himself from Trudeau.
I don't see a Canadian economy that isn't tied to the U.S. a great deal, but a bolder plan for economic development would be good for Canada.
But on the flipside, if you keep this war going, there's a good chance Putin conquers all of Ukraine.
Then you're in an even bigger shitboat
And what will need to happen to bring that about? Just broad strokes. How many will have to die? Will it go nuclear?
What do you think happened when the Soviet Union liberated/invaded Eastern Europe? Do you subscribe to the idea that Eastern Europeans voluntarily wanted to align with the Soviet Russians?
PS- Generally, I don't care about typos but you do want to change that last reference to Russia to Ukraine.
He'd still want to bring up conditional terms.
Nothing unusual about it and of course the first thing he'd ask is security guarantees.
After all the illegal western invasions and wars, you call Russia the devil? What will it take to eject Russia from those lands. Are you willing to contribute half your personal net worth and an arm to that cause?
Just play shit through, Notty.
Wait for the Russian economy to crumble a little more and a few more military fiascos. Just like 1917. Or any other regime collapse.
Biden would say anything, and the big reason he was rarely in front of the press, or had pre-determined questions.
I was speaking of the Western front. And the analogy holds in that context.
The Ukraine is probably more vulnerable to collapse than Russia. The West can send armaments and supplies, but they won't send soldiers.
Vance is a marine vet who served in Iraq and graduated from Yale law school so he is tough and smart and a weasel and a bitch and a liar and a syncophant
He must know, like others who follow Trump , that Trump is a fool
yet he supports him
I do not understand why? Is it all about power?
What we need are more women and gay leaders as they actually do care about people more than wealth and power and they do not have male ego

No.
If Biden (and Obama) had have provided Ukraine with adequate ammunition and outdated surplus equipment earlier, and without the restrictions, Ukraine would likely have already vanquished Russia from Ukrainian territory. But Biden was chickenshit and was also hoping that by slowly meting out equipment that Ukraine would absorb and deplete as much Russian ammo, equipment and resources to weaken Russia into failure. It was a cruel thing to do.
But make no mistake, Trump is obligated to Putin on many fronts. He has to put up a bit of a show but he will pull support from Ukraine as directed by Russia. But not before dividing and further causing chaos in the west. Again, as is Russia's strategy for 80 years.
There is no such thing as a security guarantee. Thats a mirage. Get used to it.
You know he was a rear echelon PR flunky, huh? Nowhere near the front lines. Even then, he kissed ass
True, just listen to Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer. They basically said if NATO kept moving closer, Russia would eventually respond. I realize Putin invaded, but the bear was poked, but lefties will never admit that.
