Doc Posted January 18 Posted January 18 2 hours ago, Trump_is_Mentally_fit said: Ukraine would not be a country today had Biden not won in 2020. Thank you Joe! Hopefully he has done enough so that Trump can't help Putin achieve his goal to wiping out 40 million free people So again, why didn't Trump just give Putin Ukraine when he was in Office? For four years?

Good question, I do not know. Do you? Maybe Putin did not want to make it difficult for his puppet in Washington. I answered your question. Why did Trump say Putin was a genius for invading a sovereign nation? Do you think that?

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 God speed Mr. Trump. Hope you do get this one done https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/01/24/trump-davos-address-ukraine-china/ Quote The pugnacious Trump is an unlikely peacemaker. But perhaps like Ronald Reagan, he’s just unsophisticated enough to ignore the usual obstacles to hands-on, great-power diplomacy. The centerpiece of his foreign-policy pitch at Davos was a love bomb for Chinese President Xi Jinping. “I like President Xi very much. I’ve always liked him. … We always had a great relationship, I would say, and we look forward to doing very well with China,” Trump explained. That was disarming, so to speak. China in recent years has used Davos to sneer at what it saw as a declining America, and to treat the WEF as an “information operation.” But this year, a needy China is being smothered by an American Big Brother. Trump made his diplomatic agenda clear. “Hopefully, China can help us stop the war with … Russia-Ukraine. And they have a great deal of power over that situation, and we’ll work with them.” Chinese officials have been in quiet talks for a month with Trump’s team about Ukraine, and Trump said he had discussed it a week ago in a phone call with Xi. “Hopefully, we could work together and get that [war] stopped.” Even as Trump plays his China card, he said he plans “to meet with President Putin soon and get that war ended.” Many analysts, including me, have worried that Trump would accede to Vladimir Putin’s demands on Ukraine. But at least initially, he’s taking a harder stand, threatening tariffs against Russia’s weak economy if it doesn’t make concessions. “Settle now and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” he admonished Putin with uppercase emphasis in a social-media post Wednesday. He added a classic tough-guy line from the movies: “We can do it the easy way, or the hard way — and the easy way is always better. It’s time to ‘MAKE A DEAL.’” Highly theatrical, maybe, but Trump is right that it’s time for negotiations.

Coffeesforclosers Posted January 31 Posted January 31 So in actual news... Ukraine has adopted a new drone strategy. They are launching large, repeated, attacks against Russia's oil refining infrastructure. They've hit 3-4 refineries in the last week, and are re-engaging previous targets that were only damaged. This is A Big Deal, in that anyone with sufficient drone building capacity, and the right drones, can execute a strategic bombing campaign. In the sense that they can pick a critical segment of the opposing economic and political order, then attack it until it's destroyed, then keep attacking it to prevent repair or rebuilding. No implications there for the coming war with China... And the plan for now is to keep putting the screws to Russia. SecState Rubio and the EU agree to keep up a Maximum Pressure strategy on Russia. 1
B-Man Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Ukraine 'kills top North Korean commander' and 'wipes out Kim's special forces battalion' by John Varga Ukrainian forces killed a top North Korean commander in a brutal battle in Kursk, as fierce fighting continues in the region, it's been reported. Putin has assembled an army of around 60,000 that includes some 12,000 North Koreans in the border region. The Russians are desperately trying to drive off their territory some 20,000 Ukrainians. However, Zelensky's soldiers are putting up stiff resistance and continue to inflict huge casualties on their enemy. Ukraine's 22nd Mechanised Brigade wiped out a battalion of North Korean special forces in intense fighting around the village of Malaya Loknya in recent days. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2007574/ukraine-kills-north-korean-commander-kursk-russia , 2 1

They should target small, rural area sections of railroads, like bridges over creeks, super easy targets that take time to fix and can paralyze the entire Russian rail system.

That would be a bad idea. Russia (by whatever name it's gone by over the last 120 years), has always had a hardon for railroads and the supporting industries for railroads. Refineries are huge, complicated networks of high quality metalurgy, electronics, computing...not to mention any skilled personnel who are killed or injured when they're hit. They also underpin a critical sector of Russia's commodity driven export economy. The big mistake that most strategic bombing campaigns make is targeting important, but highly resiliant targets (like say, Lutfwaffe fighter production and associated industries in WWII), instead of bombing critical targets until they are eliminated (like say, Nazi ball bearing production or petroleum/synthetic petroleum production and refining facilities in WWII). One route imposes painful, useful short-term effects that provide short term advantages, the other sends Bad Things rocketing through the enemy's war economy, requiring all sorts of painful tradeoffs to avoid catastrophic consequences. We'll see.

We'll see. Thanks. I get the strategy and think its great. The Kamakazies happened, in part, because Japan had no fuel to train pilots. I'm just saying it would be extremely easy to shut down the rail system there. Little bridges over creeks are tough engineering designs. Talk about creating bottlenecks. I believe that after the war (ww2) it was revealed that the Schweinfurt Missions had been ghastly mistakes. The Germans had an abundant supply of ball bearings from many sources.

Coffeesforclosers Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Daily Mail: President Trump's Peace Plan has leaked allegedly. Highlights: -Ukraine is barred from joining NATO. -Ukraine must withdraw from Kursk. -Ceasefire on April 20. -May 9th, Ukraine and Russia make a joint declaration of agreed conditions, after which Ukraine is encouraged to stop mobilizing and end martial law. -Ukraine must recognize all Oblasts annexed by Russia as lawful Russian territory. This would mean Russia would gain huge tracts of Ukrainian territory it hasn't actually conquered. There are no Russian concessions other than Ukraine may get to join the EU in 2030, and a DMZ is established between Russia and Ukraine, policed by the EU. I don't think this is real, because it's such a pathetic deal for Ukraine, they might decide to take their chances with just European support.

Absolute trash deal for Ukraine, who can de-mobilize just in time for Russia to take the rest easily. Art of the Deal.
Coffeesforclosers Posted February 11 Posted February 11 (edited) Russia's point man for relations with the United States said on Monday that all of President Vladimir Putin's conditions must be met in full before the war in Ukraine can end, suggesting Moscow is playing hardball with U.S. President Donald Trump. Russia's foreign minister drove the point home, saying that while Moscow was ready for talks with Ukraine, results could be achieved only if the "fundamental reasons" behind the nearly three-year-old conflict were resolved. Russia's starting position for peace talks is concede to all of their war goals as a precondition for peace talks. Which is completely in line with Russia wanting to integrate ex-Soviet countries into a Russian dominated economic bloc to rival the US, Europe and China. Edited February 11 by Coffeesforclosers 1
