The Fight in Ukraine and its Heroes

He'll "end the war" by pulling US support to Ukraine and then telling his butt-buddy Putin we support Russia keeping the territory it has already captured. Captain Appeasement.

Wood, for someone who supports a party that champions the rights of gays, transgenders, etc.(rightfully so) why would you of all people use the term "butt-buddy" to make your point? Just a slip? Mistake?
 
Ukraine is attacking, en mass, Russia's infrastructure. The Ukrainians were given a lot of really good equipment by the Biden administration. I think they did this in coordination with the incoming Trump Administration.

 
Ryazan is a few hundred miles southeast of Moscow. It's main power plant and fuel depots were attacked last night. Ryazan is about 500 miles from Kyiv.

Trump is going to apply maximum pressure against Russia. We will 1) up the sanctions and tariffs against Russia, 2) force India and China to stop buying Russian oil, 3) force Europe to cut off Russia completely, and 4) spur American development of oil and natural gas.

Russia should never be able to use its oil and gas as leverage against the West again.
 
Gen. Jack Keane has suggested that the US obtain funding for the Ukrainians by 1) seizing the $300B in Russian assets that are frozen in western banks, 2) loan goods to Ukraine on lend lease basis, where the Ukrainian Government is obligated to repay the funds to the US with an interest rate, or 3) use existing Ukrainian assets, such as rare earth minerals, to secure payment for equipment.

I would prefer the first, where Russia pays for its own defeat, using the second and third options as fall-back positions.

Here is an interview with Jack. They were discussing a Washington Post article he co-wrote with Marc Theissen.

 
This article lays the foundation for how the US can end the war. There is no pay wall on this one from the Washington Post, it's worth the read.

The time has come to transition Ukraine from an aid recipient to a defense consumer — just like many other U.S. friends and allies across Europe, Asia and the Middle East who purchase U.S. defense materiel. This is the only sustainable way to build a lasting defense cooperation between Washington and Kyiv.
