The ignorance of foreign, and domestic affairs for that matter, at this blahg are laughably naive. Especially the “crap Whoppers” theory.

“Alexander was proven right in his assessment that a war to “fill a hole in damaged hearts” was on the horizon.”

So the way to fill “damaged hearts” is to engage in a multi year war costing hundreds of thousands of lives to the point of having to import North Koreans, and subject the citizenry to the effects of sanctions from many countries. Ok.

It sounds like Mr. Alexander was doing a little introspection to me. Substitute Trump for Putin and you have an apt description of the mentality of the MAGA Cult.

All the blame America stuff is total bullshit. Putin is a violent aggressive war criminal who invaded Ukraine because he wanted their ports and their natural resources for Russia; and he wanted their people to conscript into his armies as he tried to re-establish the Russian Empire. At the time and possibly still, Ukraine was the first step in a plan to invade Eastern Europe. When Trump lost the election in 2020 he had to put all that on hold, as Biden united NATO and defended Ukraine. Still, he continued to murder as many innocent Ukrainian civilians as possible. Now with Trump back everything is back on the table.

So what is best for Russia and what does Russia want? Russia wants to freeze the conflict where it is and have the US lift sanctions. This will allow Russia to rebuild its military and economy so that in a couple of years they can finish the job of taking all of Ukraine. They just want a breather. Putin still has a desire to reestablish the Russian Empire and still harbors plans for Russia to invade Eastern Europe.

So what is best for the United States and Ukraine? The collapse of the Putin regime. Which will happen if we continue to defend Ukraine. We can then negotiate with a defeated and fractured Russia on terms best for the US and Ukraine. This will also put us in a much better bargaining position with China and make a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and a Sino-American war much less likely. China needs Russian resources to fight a conventional war with the US.

What will we do? Whatever is best for Trump. He doesn’t give a crap about the Ukrainian people or peace. If I had to guess, he will go with the Russian plan as he also does not give a crap about the Europeans either and most likely there is money in that for him and his family. If he can benefit from a collapse of the Putin regime, he will go that way. But I am not optimistic. I think we will go the way that is best for Russia. Elon will probably also have a say in the direction we go as he also has business interests in this matter.
