I Know When The Russia/Ukraine War Will End

When Russians start withdrawing money from banks. It's coming next year, at least by fall.

Ukraine will never surrender.

I have no freaking clue how this idiot came up with this

Russia keeps money in banks? And can still access it? That asked, what does that have to do with Putin giving up his fantasy of rebuilding the Soviet/Czarist empire?

So with DU's track record on predictions, we can expect the war will actually end... when?

When bunnies and ptarmigans have offspring together?

14. That may depend on whether they are fighting a NATO-with-U.S. or a NATO-without-U.S.

I don't have any confidence that Trump would commit to supporting NATO in such a circumstance.

And Putin could conceivably see the next few years as his best opportunity to challenge NATO, because if a Dem becomes president in 2029, NATO will probably return to being the kind of deterrent it was in the past.

NATO was such a deterrent with Dem president Biden that it is when Putin chose to invade Ukraine in the first place.

This is one of those statements that is so at odds with reality that one wonders if it isn’t a joke.

How about NATO starts spending the money they’re supposed to be spending on their militaries? That might make them a deterrent.

"It was only a minor incursion".

NATO is the U.S.

All of the other countries combined could not field more than a few dozen working tanks.

I the real world, the US has continued to provide support - equipment and munitions, and intelligence - in 2025. What Trump has accomplished is making an effort to end the war and "persuade" EuroLanders to increase their support for Ukraine.

This real world is, to DU-folk, Reich-Wing, for obstinately refusing to conform what DU-folk wish were true.
