Russia-Ukraine war has begun

Trump says Ukraine should not have fought Russia but instead should have made a deal.

That's a stupid take.
Why are they still fighting and why isn't the media asking questions? On Jan 21 both parties were supposed to immediately cease all combat operations.
 
NATO membership isn't realistic, I agree, but asking Ukraine to give up the territory they won in exchange for Russia keeping the territory they won? Ukraine gets nothing from this deal. Better to just keep fighting a guerilla war.
Russia hasn’t accomplished much at all. I would have a hard time saying they won or are winning
 
If this deal were accepted - spoiler: it won't be - that would be a win. They'd get to keep the four oblasts they annexed, and Ukraine would have to leave Kursk? There is no way Zelensky agrees to that.
It looks like Russia gets every stated goal. And they get all that rare earth minerals, frankly probably the real reason they attacked. Whenever Britain gets tired of peacekeeping, maybe 5 years, Russia gets another bite.
 
The more I think, what in there is a Russian concession? I knew Ukraine was going to lose some or most, but they lose it all. My guess is no Russians will face war crimes. No indemnity for starting the war. I thought having Russia compensate Ukraine would 1) slow Russian rearmament 2) speed up Ukraine's to slow the next bite at the apple.

I am disappointed, I thought Russia would be asked to concede something, somewhere. I would have settled for a free trip to the Hague for Vlad. I know, that was never going to happen but one can dream

No word on when sanctions against Russia come off. Maybe the answer is, "not until Putin is dead 20 years." That might be a little win. But I suspect they come off in hours after the signing

It might not even be a real leak. It's just some guy on Twitter.

I certainly hope it isn't real.
