Well, as I said, Trump's offer will meet Putin's victory conditions. He has them you know - unlike Zelensky. He actually has an end game.
Brokering that end game - which is what Trump will do - hardly makes Vlad anyone's bitch. And the brokerage doesn't require trust. If Putin's end game requires trust, he has no end game.
Putin wants to build up Russia. Economically, I mean. They have plenty of resources already. He was pushed into a war by an existential threat. Taking that threat off the table is a win. Walking away with Crimea and with the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts and an agreement limiting the size of Ukraine's military and the weaponry allowed to exist on its soil - with the west paying for repairs on their side of the line and Russia responsible to rebuild their side is both what Putin wants and what Trump will offer - mark my words.
And I don't think the empire is going to be working with the same donald trump after the *** raping they gave him since 2016. He's pissed.
You already know why they hate him. He's a wild card. He goes off script. Now they've tried to kill him. He's likely in a mood. I genuinely believe two things about Trump:
1. He really does intend to end that war, and
2. He knows what it's going to take.
Likewise, I believe two things about Putin:
1. He really does not want this war to go another day, and
2. He's going to be able to live with Trump's offer.
The Ukraine conflict will never see 2026.
