Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed confidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will hasten the end of the war with Russia, following their “constructive exchange” after Trump’s election victory.
Zelensky emphasized the need for a diplomatic resolution by next year, while acknowledging Ukraine’s challenges on the battlefield.
Trump, criticized for his alleged leniency toward Vladimir Putin, has vowed to end the war quickly but has not detailed his strategy.
The U.S. remains Ukraine’s largest arms supplier, recently approving $61 billion in aid.
Sorry Ukraine, but America forgot about you and moved on to the next one, as is always the case. Trump and Putin who are allies of Netanyahu played Americans like a fiddle and got what they wanted. They distracted everyone from Ukraine and created the opportunity for a Trump win, which will help them destroy both Palestine and Ukraine.
If I was Zelensky, I’d probably agree to a rebuilt Ukraine with Trump Towers and Tesla factories and all sorts of things. “Just imagine, Mr. President, world class Trump golf course and resort in Crimea— envy of all East Europe!”
What else is he going to say? Fuck the U.S. and fuck Trump?
Exactly. While pride from Zelensky would feel great I’m sure, it would come at the cost of many more Ukrainian lives. Best to suck up to the wannabe dictator and hope he’s generous.
He’s willing to suck up to an asshole for his citizens. It’s an excellent mark of leadership.
The reporting I heard from Michael koffman was Ukrainian soldiers felt they were slowly losing to attrition and needed a change in approach anyway, so this may not entirely be bullshit from zelensky.
The word from NCD, is that Zelensky wasn’t bluffing about the nukes. He doesn’t think Putin can radiologicaly retaliate after his generals looted the maintenance budget.
Israel has been taking part in a technology transfer. Any escalation in Eastern Europe takes eyes away from what’s going on in the Levant.
Iodine pills all around!
One of these will happen?
-
Trump is Putins puppet and US will eventually drop support from Ukraine. Europes support will not be enough and Ukraine eventually falls. Trump tower will be build in Moscow in a decade.
-
Trump will brown nose Putin. Putin will humiliate Trump and things will continue as is.
-
Option 2, but Trump dies or is incapacitated. Just replace Trump with Vance or other Republican stooge.
-
Trump is actually a misunderstood stable genius and war will end with territorial loses that Ukraine can accept.
-
Russia has an economical collapse and has to pull out of Ukraine, but still desperately tries to cling on Crimea. No peace agreement signed and conflict continues as a confusing mess to far future, maybe stabilizing in Korea style.
-
Everybody goes nuts and we are all live action roleplaying Fallout.
Wouldn’t nuclear winter help with global warming?
A nuclear winter isn’t a scientific guarantee, many post-cold war models have suggested it might not happen.
That said, shit would get fucked up but for how long and what affects they have on the atmosphere is still debated.
So would the collapse of civilization. Neither counts as a win for humanity.
-
Putin’s asset in America will help him end the war while saving face.
