Ukraine's desperation for manpower has reached the tipping point, while Ukraine desertions continues to escalate, amounting to over 16,000 PER MONTH.
Yet the thoroughly corrupt Zelensky continues the 'fight' and acts as if he has the upper hand. He never did. The war for Ukraine was over from day one because Ukraine never had a chance to defeat Russia and anyone that thought they did should have their head examined.

All this talk about great Red Army victories and noise about hamlets "taken" and frontline "collapsing" but when you look at the map you need a fucking microscope to see the progress between the fall of 2022 and now.
Yawn.

Let's assume that a final peace deal allows Russia to keep Crimea and all the land they have grabbed in Eastern Ukraine.

Can anyone really claim that this war was a net positive for Russia? Even the most modest/conservative death counts show Russia lost 5X the number of men in a couple years than the US lost in Vietnam over 10 years and Russia's population today is much smaller than the US' back in the 1970's. These deaths of all these young men will have a long lasting impact on Russia's already doomed demographics.

Imagine the US losing that many people invading Mexico and getting no farther than Ensenada in the West and Monterrey in the East after 3 years of brutal fighting. Our military would be rightfully seen as incompetent laughing stocks failing to subdue our much weaker next door neighbor.

In addition, Russia now has 2 new NATO members next door and Europe is finally getting serious about their military defense spending thanks to Trump

Russia has lost most of its high paying energy customers in Europe

But yeah - this war in Ukraine has been absolutely great for Russia!

Bologna. Finland did not provoke anyone; Finland was invaded for not giving into Soviet demands to cede territory. I suppose the author thinks Poland provoked a Soviet invasion as well.

"From 1939 to... 1944, Finland fought the Soviet Union on the side of the axis powers: Germany, Italy and Japan.

You are ignoring the facts.
"No, I am not. The Soviets invaded Finland in 1939. There were no axis allies involved. Hitler did not invade the Soviet Union until much later."
Ukraine has lost over 1.7 million troops – leaked docs
The casualties are allegedly detailed in a digital card index of the country’s armed forces obtained by Russian hackers

True. But when WWII started two years later Finland became one of the Axis powers.
Please check your history. WWII officially started when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939.
When it came to evil and mass murder, our ally Stalin made Hitler look like a Boy Scout.
"Trump is saving Americas face from strategic battlefield defeat, war is lost. He’s ending it like we doing a favor, in reality we lost war against Russia, war we started like sick fucks."
I'm not trying, nor do I want to, inject myself into your debate
which far exceeded anything that Hitler ever envisioned for Germany.

First, both Great Britain and France gave 'war guarantees' to Poland should they be invaded, i.e., they would automatically declare war against the nation that invaded Poland.
While Hitler was attempting to negotiate a return to Germany an area that was occupied predominantly by German people (ceded to Poland due to the Treaty of Versailles after WW I),
Poland became bellicose and refused all attempts at negotiations.
Hitler AND Stalin both agreed to invade Poland and divide it with the Soviets controlling the East and Germany the West. Keep in mind and this is huge; GB & France did not declare war on the other invader, i.e., Soviet Russia, but only Germany.
Russia gets a free pass, and it was our ally Russia that actually was the big benefactor of WW II, evidenced by the amount of territory in Eastern Europe that fell under their control, which far exceeded anything that Hitler ever envisioned for Germany.
Also a great time to mention that Churchill was like Ron Paul in the 1930s, a mostly powerless backbencher disliked by the majority of newspapers and considered a warmonger by the majority of the population The idea he pulled the UK in War is absurd. He didn't enter government until after the Nazis violated Munich and invaded Poland - September 3rd, 1939, when he was put in the Admiralty.

Did you forget about Ukraine? Yes, a war is still going on there and it’s a weeping lesion on Western Civ, possibly leading to fatal sepsis. US neocons set the stage in 2014 with the Maidan color revolution as a wedge to wreck and then loot Russia. Then, for eight years, Ukraine harassed the Donbas with US-supplied missiles and artillery. Russia had enough of that in 2022 and ventured in to stop it. For “Joe Biden,” the war was a nice smokescreen to cover his long-running grift operations in Ukraine. The Euro club stupidly came along for the ride.
It was all a tragic and feckless waste. Mr. Trump wants to stop it, but Western Civ as a whole is in such a state of florid strategic disorder that he’s had to pretend the US supports Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky could not possibly carry on this mischief without US weapons and loads of US taxpayer cash. Still, the Russians advance implacably on-the-ground. They are going to “win” this war eventually — meaning, the US and Europe will lose — and everybody knows it. ...
Yet, Macron, Merz, and Starmer keep pushing the fantasy that Russia seeks to invade them, and so they must strike at Russia before that happens . . . all pure delusion.
You can suppose that Mr. Putin wants a negotiated peace rather than continuing the long grind on-the-ground, with all its casualties and expenditures. Such a negotiated peace really amounts to the US ceasing to support Zelensky’s war effort. Of course, such is the insanity of US political life, that many in our government pretend that we have a stake in Ukraine, and must retain some control of it.
Mr. Trump must know this is insane and is against the interests of the USA. He knows that Ukraine is historically in Russia’s sphere of influence — as Venezuela is in ours — and that the best outcome of this mess would be for Ukraine to return to its prior status as a harmless frontier between Russia and western Europe — as it had been since 1945 — looking to its humble business of growing wheat for export. We do not need Ukraine to be anybody’s problem, despite the insane yearnings of the neocons, the weapons manufacturers, and the reckless globalists of the EU, to make it everyone’s problem.
