// I never said trump could guarantee russia would not invade without a written guarantee from russia. america needs to find out russia would want to stop the war. possibilities would be ukraine would not put missiles on borders with russia and would not let nato put missiles anywhere. russia can keep crimera and other areas plus ukraine does not join nato. show that zelinsky and that if he agrees to it then russia will still stop attacking and then if russia attacks then more weapons will be given to ukraine.
Russia isn't in the business of attacking its neighbors. Russia actually has quite a bit of land under its belt right now, and lots of ethnicities to contend with - including many who have a desire for their own ethno-state. You might remember something something Chechen rebels something? Well, there are 21 federal republics, and I believe 18 of them have an active separatist movement. That doesn't mean the movement is popular or potent in every case, or even in most cases. But there is always a fire simmering under the *** of any Russian president, and there is always a western power looking to provoke some **** with false promises - like the ones that Obama, Trump, and Biden made to Ukraine, each in their turn. Promises Trump is now revealing were made in bad faith, as to a Kurd.
I say all of that to say this: Russia is not in conquest mode, from any historical perspective. It is maintenance mode, and the only area of expansion on the Russian horizon is in technology and infrastructure and economy - which is what will keep those ethno-state separatists from gaining support. Indeed, the internal issues Russia faces are what convinced the west that the Ukraine Gambit would succeed. Their hubris put Trump 2.0 in an extremely embarrassing position - which playing the midget out of pocket helped to ease DOMESTICALLY. The rest of the world does not see the song and dance in the oval office through the eyes of Trump supporters. The rest of the world see the US abandoning another proxy, and Europe acting like a battered spouse in denial.
Me, I ordered a commercial quality popcorn popper off Temu, because this **** is just beginning to get entertaining. Just about everyone I don't like in this world is currently in tears and torment, and my schadenfreude is running a tingle up my leg that I haven't felt since I tricked the lady in the next trailer over into thinking I was inheriting a double-wide that was tied-in, under-skirted, and set up under a roof. I hit that ****** in every room of that trailer before she found out I was lying.
