The trump administration is pursuing negotiations without Ukraine. That’s not negotiation for peace. I don’t know what you’d call it but it’s not that.


Are we talking about the current case fire talks or the original peace talks that were on the table back in 2022?


Trump is pursuing the only negotiations Putin could agreed for. Ukraine is losing on the battlefield, Putin does not see any reason to talk with Zelensky, as in his view, he needs to continue the war for another year and Ukraine will run out of people ready to fight. This is brutal mathematics, Ukrainian to Russian losses are 1:2, sometimes even 1:1.5, Ukraine is not able to persist with such ratio, as they have potential soldiers.

This is all Biden's fought, he was constantly afraid of "escalation" and upsetting Putin, he was delivering military help in insufficient quantities and too late. He panicked so much that during Prigozhin's Putsch (Wagner Group rebellion) he ordered CIA chief to call Putin to tell him that USA is not behind this situation. Totally idiotic move that appeased Putin that he is save and does not need to worry about "toothless West".

More, Biden (or, in fact, Blinken and Sullivan) was stopping other from helping Ukraine, he never agreed to pass Polish Mig-21 war planes, which eventually were disassembled into parts and miraculously "lost" by Polish army in the forest on the Polish-Ukrainian border and then someone miraculously found them and put back together.

Similarly he opposed passing Polish T-72 and PT-91 "Twardy" tanks to Ukraine, finally he agreed after pressure from Polish president A. Duda, when Biden visited Warsaw (see investigative journalist Zbigniew Parafianowicz book "Polska na wojnie" (Poland on the War)).

Trumps at least tries to do something except pretending military help. He might fail, obviously, but at least he started some process that could end the war at some point.


Surprised you’re getting downvoted. The truth hurts


Private equity wants the war.

It wouldn't be popular here.
