What‘s the thinking behind this? Because it very much sounds like: We got to advance at least a couple of meters before Trump starts negotiations. If that is the case, then I think that’s completely fucked up. How about initiating negotiations now instead of having one final slaughter. Man, the Biden administration’s last acts truly show how little respect they have for human suffering.
Because there isn’t going to BE a settlement. Not a while longer anyway.
Trump is going to say “Ukraine, let Russia have whatever it has taken”. Ukraine is (rightfully) going to say “fuck that…they’re not getting an inch”. Trump responds by stopping all aid.
This is a buildup to help them while they transition on only being able to rely on the EU for support because Trump is all up in papa-putin’s-panties and Biden knows it.
It’s true, a lot depends on what Europe will be doing. Without American leadership it’s going to be difficult, though. Germany and France don’t have functioning governments right now and there’s ever more war weary European nations. So Europe’s split.
Zelensky knows that and he’s been talking about ceding occupied territory for the first time. Everybody seems to be scrambling for a final result is my interpretation of what’s happening right now. I personally hope that the war will be at least halted and Europe won’t try it on its own.
