Russia - threadbanned users in OP

I don't think Trump will do much of anything to rock the boat. He has bigger fish to fry, and there's a huge economic boost in the US off the back of Ukrainian support.

Honestly, did he do much of anything in his last term in office? I think his biggest success was the huge amount of daily news generated about him .

Sad fact of life, but war is a business, and that's the truth. Currently the war economy is what's keeping Russia going and is being financed by manipulation of Russia's wealth fund IE:- Russian Citizens cash. And at some point in time, even with the financial genius of Elvira Nabiulla manipulating the cash reserves, that particular well will run dry.

An active EU army, while still supporting NATO, would not be bound by NATO rules of engagement, and could respond to whatever they perceive as a threat. Now if such a force had existed say 10, 5 or even 3 years ago, I doubt very much if Putin would have invaded Ukraine.

It's been claimed that there was 68 people killed in the crash apparently all Ukrainian POWs

Yeah both could be true or both could be lies , the moment it went down it had missiles on it coming from Ukrainian sources and at the same time saying it was shot down by Ukrainians,

"Who will stop them"?

The British don't even have the codes to their own Poseidons and Polaris missiles. Do you think that Ukraine will just cobble together a nuclear bomb?

Where are they going to test it? Where are they going to get the uranium, the technology to enrich said uranium?

If America won't allow Japan or South Korea or Australia or even Canada or Mexico or all those countries like Estonia and Poland that are supposed to be attacked by Russia, to have nuclear weapons, why would they just let Ukraine have them?

Far too slowly to be of any significance. Putin will be "voted" in for another term this spring, a few brave citizens will protest and be arrested, the other 100+ million will shrug and mope on as usual

Can't see trump coming back successfully for round2. Yes there are certainly a diehard cohort that will vote him in, but a huge part of his success in the original election was people voting AGAINST Hilary Clinton. I've seen it in colleagues, friends and family over in the US, where they hated her so much they voted for Trump and are disgusted with what happened as a result. I think Biden, regardless of the inevitable dirt the media dig up on him, comes across as more of a moderate and palatable candidate that many would vote for happily on the democrat side

"Prediction, Ukraine have one more offensive in it,"

You have made this prediction before. I don't agree that Ukraine is happy to make the same mistake as putin and send thousands of their people to their deaths attacking prepared defensive lines. Ukraine has the committed support of the EU and NATO while putin has a heavily sanctioned economy limping along with the help of North Korea and Iran. putin is still able to make massively expensive attacks with most missiles his forces launch being intercepted and non military targets being hit at huge cost to his arms production capacity in urban areas in Ukraine but arms production in Ukraine is increasing and EU and NATO based arms producers are building up their capacities to make the weapons to deal with putin's terrorist state over the longer term. putin's war is only getting more expensive for him and unlike you I don't think time is on his side. The armed forces of Ukraine can just continue to make staying in their country a crippling expense for putin until he has no choice but to retreat.

I would think another counter is unlikely unless they get much better fire power.I have no idea what the losses are for Ukraine but they must be big and it looks like with the way things have stalled somewhat that they need to be prepared for a couple of years at this rate.Dispite all the optimism that Putin will come undone all the line there is no real sign of that yet.

I suggest that Biden pick for vice president is CRUCIAL to his strategy to get elected. IMO it should increase his vote significantly - especially amongst the undecided. WHY, because the current VP does not inspire , is very low profile and what has she done if anything to date. And along with that , if he picks someone that is fairly well known , is of presidential material , inspires confidence, good personality, etc then the voters for Biden counld do so on the basis of the high probality that his selection could become president if ‘ anything’ happens to Biden
