I know you are not supporting the one guy on Earth who can stop the war, stop the killing of ordinary people in Ukraine.
I don’t think I actually said that Wrangler , I conveyed what I thought his motives were for doing so. I don’t agree with how he is choosing to go about it and I definitely don’t believe what was conveyed by someone in the senate, that Putin as afraid of Trump. Equally I do not think Putin is someone who can be trusted. None of those things conveys that I do not support the endeavours to bring about peace.
As to the cost to everyone, only time will convey that…….

Russia was wronged. Reparations should be paid to Russia by NATO. We are fortunate Russia is open to a negotiated end to the war rather than escalate to nuclear Armageddon via the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.
Russia has no nukes that work. They disintegrated long ago. They MIGHT have enough material for one...but it's kinda doubtful.
Nuclear weapons are powerful....almost too powerful to be useful. They also are extremely expensive. Plutonium, deuterium and tritium are the most expensive elements on earth that are completely man made and expensive to produce....but tritium has a short half life...meaning it needs replacing every 12 years. And that's not cheap either. Without it you get a dud of a nuke.

No...Russia has not been wronged. That's another lie. Russia militarily invaded after they had a soft, immigrant invasion of Ukraine and an economic invasion of Ukraine with lots of propaganda the whole time.

Putin is a degenerate gambler...and my opinion is that Trump knows what a degenerate gambler looks like after owning several casinos.
And he is banking on it with Putin going "all in" in some fashion while trump holds all the cards and a stacked deck.
IOW feed putin enough cards to make him believe he has a good shot at winning everything he wants and then show him your Royal Flush....but in the meantime Putin loses not only the game but his wife, job, and home. So he never can get in a position to play the game again at this level.

That's not exactly easy.....but it's the likely outcome. Putin doesn't hedge his bets well at all. And putin can't afford to stop the war nor can he really afford to keep fighting.

The only thing left is to break Russia up so bad that it cannot reconstitute. The materials and resources of Russia will still get to the world stage...but only after the RF is history.

No. Russia was wronged. 2 million people died to cover up the lie that they were not provoked by NATO expansion.

Are you aware that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia asked to become a member of NATO? Clinton was in favor but his State department was not.

I prefer the dissolution of NATO. It has outlived its purpose and has become the very thing it was created to oppose.

When Christian America finally allies with Christian Russia, as we did in WWII, we will have a new world order divided along Christian principles against secularism in Europe, Islam in the Near East and communism in the Far East.

While I’m willing to bet your life on that assertion, I am not willing to bet the lives of my grandchildren.

Besides, it doesn’t change the fact that Russia was wronged. Trump is God’s agent of justice and will make it right despite millions of lives and 100’s of billions of dollars squandered.

Russian nuclear weapons, 2024
Russia, like the USA or any other nation, only has limited resources. (Like money, labor supply and etc)

Then most nations (like the USA or Russia) publicly declare their budgets....these aren't exactly secret things they accomplish.
Then there's the active fulfillment of those budgets.

The production of Nuclear isotopes is such that they involve large amounts of resources to build. You might try to keep the amounts produced a secret...but the production can not be kept secret. Too much money and resources necessary to produce a few ounces of materials. Even mining simple uranium is not that simple.

Then the special materials needed for "hydrogen " bombs are even more expensive. (Which is what everyone switched to instead of fission).

So...the budget needed yearly for Russia to maintain their nuclear arsenal is the same amount they spend yearly on their entire military. (Russia HAD a lot of nukes)
There hasn't been enough money left to maintain even one missile. In fact they have had a massive reduction in even maintaining their conventional weaponry. (Tanks, trucks, ships and etc)

So...they are a paper tiger. Not really capable of doing much. They are struggling to fight in Ukraine. A war that they should have won easily 2 years ago....but they still are struggling with munitions, personnel, tactics and logistics. They also do not have control of the airspace over Ukraine either. Thats VERY telling.

Russia is all talk and no muscle.
So....
To stop the bloodshed Trump likely has a VERY secret plan of enticing Putin to the point its going to end the RF permanently. No different than Reagan did.
Just different leverage points is all the difference.

Gaza was never part of Israel.
But it is prophecied to be in Joel 3 and Zephanaih:

Zephaniah 2:4-6

New Living Translation

Judgment against Philistia​

4 Gaza and Ashkelon will be abandoned,
Ashdod and Ekron torn down.
5 And what sorrow awaits you Philistines[a]
who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan,
for this judgment is against you, too!
The Lord will destroy you
until not one of you is left.
6 The Philistine coast will become a wilderness pasture,
a place of shepherd camps
and enclosures for sheep and goats.

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.

For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.

And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall's actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?

Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That's another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.

President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts:

Number one, while our Western European allies' security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.

Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing.

Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict.

Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it.

Number five, the conflict has placed--and continues to place--stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.

Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as "appeasement" every acknowledgment that America's interest must account for the realities of the conflict.

That interest--not moralisms or historical illiteracy--will guide President Trump's policy in the weeks to come.

And thank God for that.

All governments are corrupt.
It will not change till Christ's return.
JESUS appointed Trump for a purpose as He does all authorities in all countries as it claims in scripture - Romans 13:1.
Trump, imo, was appointed to expose the evil , corrupt government ( the Deep State). He will not make America great again, we are too far gone to save
and just about to fall off the $36 trillion cliff. Expect something Big to happen soon. What we are seeing is the dark curtain that covers up all the lies and corruption lifted.
Light is shining in the darkness.
So what now?
People need to take sides. In life, we are to eventually learn how to discern good from evil, the source of good ( Christ) and to be reconciled back to God through Him.
The world will be ushered into a Great Tribulation and our faith will be tested. I would rather Trump be there during this time than anyone else. His fist will be in the air. As he has stated numerous times, God spared his life and he has lifted up and praised Jesus as well. Clinton, Obama, Biden, or Kamala did not such thing, they are antichrists (imo).
Some say Russia/ Ukraine war was Biden's proxy war. We equipped them to war with Russia, instead of us and weaken them.
So now all that can be done is to stop the war, divide territory that currently exists and move on. They can't go back to what was, just move forward and accept what is.
It really doesn't matter much since Jesus will soon return.
