Moment of truth.

Trump has grown frustrated. He was frustrated when he took office earlier in year, and he is frustrated now. He wants Zelensky to agree to peace plan. There is talk he is willing to stop U.S. aid to Ukraine if Zelensky continues to refuse. Is this Trump trying only to pressure Zelensky, or will he follow through on his threat?

Ukraine continues to expend its men. More are deserting. More are running away. And more are evading conscription. That is, ones who remain. Few are left. This war has been a pointless meat grinder for Ukraine. They have gone through their men like a fat kid goes through candy. And for what? Nothing. It was for nothing. A nation stripped and plundered. Not by Russia, by itself, and by its warmongering, Russia-hating backers.

I don't support either side of a war. Ukraine and Russia are no exception. However knowing as I do that the war was started by the US and Western Europe I don't care for NATO, EU or US. Knowing as I do many ex pat Ukrainians and Russians I do wish that the two would make peace. There is no need for the senseless killing that is going on. Trump could be a great help if he stopped being a stooge for the US Military Industrial Complex and simply stopped giving or selling weapons to either side. No intelligence gathering no technical support. No training. Of course the same could be said of the other meat grinder going on in Gaza.

@hippyjoe1955 Trump needs to put his foot down. It isn't only the American deep state-swamp stopping peace. It is Europe also. They threaten war when Trump makes progress with Putin. He should call their bluff.
