With all due respect, there was a potential Peace plan when Biden and Johnson were in power. They chose not to follow through. There have been other possibilities but for whatever reasons, probably many, they fell through. All that said. I think, don’t know the mineral deal (attach) may well be a significant step toward a peace deal where both Ukraine and Russia benefit. I could be mistaken but I think there may be many behind closed doors agreements we know nothing about that hopefully ends with a peace agreement.
tRump, May 2023: “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.”
tRump, Sept 2024: “That is a war that’s dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president,” Trump said during his September debate with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. “If I win, when I’m president-elect, and what I’ll do is I’ll speak to one, I’ll speak to the other. I’ll get them together.”
tRump, Mar 15, 2025: "Pretty good vibes coming out of Russia" ... "I feel that Russia is going to make a deal with us."
It's not as simple as the Ukrainians want to present it.It is not just a big bully picking on some little kid. About 1/5 maybe a little less of the population of Ukraine is ethically Russian. Their families have lived in the area for hundreds of years.
Should Donald Trump have known this before making such a fool-hearted statement. Of course he should. I do think it is best that he wash his hands with the whole situation and not mess with what basically is a border war.
@SomeMichGuy Listen, if Ukraine put 1/10 of the energy trying to take back the land that was took from them as they are trying to destroy Russia this war would have been over with a long time ago.You Hear from the people of Ukraine and ask them why they are doing this they will tell you that this is getting the reparations from the hundreds of years that Russia has enslaved them, so this didn't just start back A few years ago. It didn't start back in the days of Stalin, either. I will take another look and a map of Ukraine in August or September, probably September and see if anything has changed but for now I don't want to hear anymore about it. It's not as simple as they Present it, it is not a big bullying a little guy. I don't care how it looks on paper.
If Ukraine hadn't been so hell bent on joining NATO, being pushed to do so by the EC and the US, Russia would never have invaded them. Mark my words, the war will end when there is an iron clad agreement that Ukraine WILL NOT join NATO.
