This morning in Brussels, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said it was "regrettable" that the Trump administration made public concessions to Russia "before the negotiations had even begun."
"In my view, it would have been better to discuss a possible NATO membership for Ukraine or the country’s possible territorial losses only at the negotiating table and not to take it off the table beforehand," Pistorius said ahead of a meeting of NATO defense ministers today.

Michael Flynn resigns as National Security Advisor, following alleged discussions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding the U.S. sanctions on Russia. Keith Kellogg becomes acting National Security Advisor.[162][163]
In all seriousness, I think that would be great! A fair amount of work on your part, but a good reminder of wtf was going on in the first term and why 81 million people voted against Trump in 2020.
And it would be a reminder that history repeats itself: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

Trump won 18 of 19 swing counties and all predictor states - Florida, Iowa, and Ohio by large margins. There’s no way his 2020 loss was legitimate

Kayfabe is a thing.
There are plenty of intelligent people in the Trump administration, and they--and Trump himself--are fully aware that he lost in 2020. But they're in on the con, and hoping to continue fleecing the rubes by saying (nudge nudge, wink wink), "The 2020 election was stolen!" (Or "stollen," if you're the Ignoramus in Chief.)
As time goes by, perhaps you too will join the "in" group.

It’s great to have a President who works to get things done after four agonizing years of ineptitude under Biden.

I respect Noyankee more than posters like Sally Vix and Adolt.
He honestly lays out what he believes and owns who Trump is. The others try to sane wash Trump and make him something he obviously is not. And tell us Trump is not doing what we see him doing with our very eyes.
So yes. Noyankee is nuts but he ain’t hiding it.

That's the best way to get peace...Ukraine surrenders land and doesn't join NATO

I believe Trump lost in 2020. However, when you consider how many votes Biden got in 2020, DURING A PANDEMIC, compared to the candidates in this election, it’s certainly shady.
it actually was a blessing in disguise. The Democrat top of the ticket was so bad that the party is screwed for the foreseeable future.

I think Trump is doing a deal with Putin to exchange Ukraine for Israel and Iran. Trump has lined his foreign policy and defense department with Iran hawks who want to got to war with Iran in order to give Netanyahu cover to expel the Palestinians and annex all of Gaza and the West Bank to bring back the ancient borders of Judea and Samaria. This deal will include fracturing NATO so that Putin can continue his westward expansion to take Georgia and Moldova and then eventually take back Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Putin will also force Romania and Poland to disarm or face invasion. In return, Putin will throw Iran under the bus and let Trump take Gaza and Israel take the West Bank. Iran is the only country in the Middle East that would come to the defense of the Palestinians. But Putin does not need Iran if the war in Ukraine is halted. And Kremlin insiders have always been Islamaphobes and hated having to support Iran for fear of a double cross with Iran backing Muslim rebels in Chechnya and Dagestan.
It will now be up to Europe and Ukraine to stand up to Trump's desire to let Putin ravage Eastern Europe in exchange for handing over Iran. Trump will cut Ukraine's funding if they do not take a deal. It will then be up to the EU to pick up the slack. The EU is currently not in a position to do that politically. But the prospect of Putin's armies knocking on Europe's eastern door could change attitudes very quickly across Europe.
The only hope at this point is if Ukraine and Europe can resist the Trump peace process long enough that the Russian economy finally implodes and Putin is overthrown. If Trump follows through with his trade war and slashing the US government, the resulting inflation and slowing growth in the US (government employees do spend their money and are an important component of the economy) could trigger a larger world wide economic slowdown. This could crash energy prices, which would be the end of the Russian economy.
