2027 is the right moment.

Chinese nationals now fighting for Russia.

That's not exactly breaking.  There have been Chinese mercenaries posting their experiences on social media for months now.

Trump repeats the lie that Ukraine started the war:

You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.

[Norgy]

To be fair, Norway gave Ukraine missiles and tanks.

I think Trump has learnt a lot from Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin.

"Hitler asked nicely to have Gdansk back"
"Uhuh"

That's classy journalism right there.

A lie told a thousand times... etc.
From the same one who coined the useful idiot concept.

That's right. You don't.

Interesting he meant it a different way to how it should logically be taken.

Reports suggesting that the United States might acknowledge Russian annexation of Crimea. Not obvious what the great deal maker gets in return.

Potash, oil, natural gas, minerals, I suppose.  If, one day, Russia can manage to restart its production.

He could get that for money, no need to accept the annexation of Crimea.

Trump's new book will be called: "The Art of Surrendering".
It'll feature nothing but pictures of the orange man dropping his pants, bending over and taking it up the ass.

He could get all of what Greenland has to offer for money too, without threat of annexation.  Same for Canada, within reason.  

He could also have not have ratified the Trans Pacific Partnership instead of ranting against it, or instruct his team to make small changes to the treaty and have it ratified, contributing to China isolation.  He could also have ratified to industrial trade agreement with Europe.  He could also have not pulled out of the nuclear treaty with Iran.

That's what a reasonable man like Obama might have done.  Or Biden.

The guys that goes on Twitter rants at 2:00am to crash the markets? Nah.

So apparently the "US peace plan" is to give Russia everything it wants (territory, no NATO for Ukraine) and Ukraine gets a ceasefire in return. Or else the United States withdraws from the talks. Not sure if that's a big loss at this point.

Probably just to claim Ukraine "does not want peace" to give cover for disengagement that is driven by the convictions of Trump and his ilk.

Trump's "final offer" for peace requires Ukraine to accept Russian occupation


See for yourselves.
