US official to the Atlantic: “Trump has directed some frustration at Zelenskyy and Europe, believing that they are being unrealistic in their demands and need to accept that Ukraine has to lose some territory to end the conflict.”

Just the defenses that his army has failed to take for over a decade, and that then give the russian army a straight march over open fields into central Ukraine. But I'm sure handing them over will bring "peace" /s euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/13/5...

When is he going to open his disgusting ears and listen to the words of Zelenskyy when he speaks of following Ukraine's Constitution. We know he doesn't give a shit about America's but some people do love their country and abide by their oath

Yes, Trump wants Zelenskyy and Ukraine to give up. Why? Because it would make his life easier and keep Putin happy. T. has no humanity, no integrity, no soul, no guts. And no real problem solving ability, either.

If anyone loses territory in this conflict, it should be Russia, the aggressor. Ukraine did not start this war. Ukraine did not want this war. Ukraine must win this war, or else Putin‘s thugs will march across Europe. The only one being unrealistic is Trump.

the reality that Ukraine and Europe has to gripe with: trump does not want putin to loose. be it of epstein files, or some douche in pentagon thinking russia can help in war with china. I think the closer Ukraine gets to victory (and russia to collapse), the more extreme US actions will become. Sad

The US fears russian collapse. Not just what would happen after, but what moscow may do to try and prevent it. That's my number 1, but there are many more.

Basically it's the nukes stupid (no offense, starting an expression). The US wants nuclear deterrence to work as it also relies on it. It doesn't want nuclear superpowers to get invaded or lose, as it is one. That's my 2 and 3.

Thanks, makes sense, but frankly I do not see this as top in the light of countries like NK already having the nukes.

Why does Ukraine fight alone? Why did the US bomb Iran? Why does Europe need the US? Why did the US promise security? Why does the West appease russia? It's the nukes stupid. It's the answer to almost any question that's puzzeling you.

Why does Iran call the US before launching ballistic missiles at their base in Qatar? Why does the US restrict Ukrainian weapons usage into russia? Why does the US restrict targeting (Tu-160 not allowed)? It's the nukes the stupid.
aug 28, 2025, 9:10 pm • 2 0 • view
"nukes" is certainly a significant part of it, but it is not "only nukes". trump is harming US security and power much more than iranian nukes ever could. We'll see this once china decides to make its move. "Let them hate, so long as they fear." is not a good strategy long term.

I implicitly implied that russia loosing is russia collapsing. Russian collapse is going to be a huge vacuum bomb with all neighboring countries rushing into the area to secure control of the spoils. > what moscow may do to try and prevent it Like Nukes?

Russia is the invader. There is no way they should get any of Ukraine's land because then nothing would stop putin. Because putin is a war criminal and hasn't stopped.
