Except no peace agreement that demands them to cede further, or is worth trusting has been proposedIf that is their goal then they should accept a peace agreement.

Now do Thursday…Putin started the invasion because his goal is the demise of europe that he obtaibed thanks his buddy. He dont give a shit about ucraine.
Any way you look at it, not ending that war is going to cost taxpayers a lot more than ending it would. No brainer. Be it a trillion or "only" 100's of billions, its too much.The military aid would stop when the conflict is over. The civilian aid would stop whenever the US government stops sending it. Ukrainians themselves are going to rebuild their country, with help from all that want to pitch in. Ideally, no one needs to be the peacekeepers because the idea of Russia attacking again would be far-fetched, but otherwise that has to be secured as part of an eventual ceasefire.
Hysterical overreactions to Trump negotiating with Putin.And what makes you think that?
No negotiations to end the war up to this point. No attempt at trying.And what makes you think that?
You are literally spreading "misinformation" making the claim that we mostly just sent old weapons. That is completely false.The US mostly send old weapons you needed to get rid of anyway and in turn creates more jobs. This type of stupid misinformation happens when people do "their own research" by browsing X and repeating what their favorite political pundit spews
i expect this to be a versailles affair. drawn out over potentially years.Except no peace agreement that demands them to cede further, or is worth trusting has been proposed

If Ukraine was never going to be in NATO -which it wasn't- and that is the consensus of every Russian President since the end of the cold war, then that kiiiiind of turns the whole "NATO expansion" excuse we've seen over and over (for example) into a big wet fart, doesn't it?I'm pretty sure people not dying anymore is a concession. Ukraine was never going to be in NATO. That is the consensus of every Russian president since the end of the cold war. They'd never allow it. It would be nuclear armaggeddon and the end of the world as we know it now. Also, Zelensky was literally a regional TV actor of no great wealth and is now a billionaire. He was installed to do a job and he did it amazingly. I'm pretty sure Ukraine is better off with out him at this point.
How much has Europe spent vs. the US?except europe already did spend way more money on Ukraine than the US. The US mostly send old weapons you needed to get rid of anyway and in turn creates more jobs.

Or Trump's goal has always been to abandon Europe under the false premise that we can continue to be the dominant nation without allies in Western Europe.Putin invaded another country, obviously wrong.
Ukraine got billions of dollars in free money, they haven't won yet. The cash has to get cut off at some point.
Not sure what to think now. My first reaction is that this is a bad move. Cutting off Ukraine is good, but this needs to be settled, not abandon Europe.
But maybe the goal is to just kick Europe into gear so America doesn't have to hold their hands. It might be working in that regard. This was supposed to be Europe's war, why is America the major player?

A worried NATO holds large-scale combat drills as the US stance on Europe shifts under Trump
NATO members are continuing their largest combat exercises of 2025 amid concern within the 32-nation alliance over its most powerful member, the United States.apnews.com
No they didn't Most of the US aid has been in form of old weaponry and only a very small percentage has been cash transfers.How much has Europe spent vs. the US?
I am aware US sent no significant weapons. They did send a lot of cash though.
Well to be fair,No negotiations to end the war up to this point. No attempt at trying.
I don't listen to Tim Pool...How America’s Aid to Ukraine Actually Works
Only a small percentage of the overall aid package takes the form of cash transfers to Kyiv; the vast majority goes right back into the U.S. economy.www.lawfaremedia.org
Have fun in your misinformation bubble. Go listen to some more Tim Pool & Co nitwit
i don't know where he's getting his information.
a lot sounds like he's toilet posting.
millions of dead??
I agree strongly. Europe must remain an ally.Or Trump's goal has always been to abandon Europe under the false premise that we can continue to be the dominant nation without allies in Western Europe.
But when we abandon Europe here, we can be sure that they won't support us against China if necessary. They will carve out their own positions. And that great big ocean that protects us from invasion also makes us very distant from what's happening over there. So, if Europe feels compelled to carve out pro-China deals instead of pro-America deals, the long term implications will permanently shift the power balance. Together we stand, divided we fall wasn't only applicable to the American Revolution.
It's going to take Chinese military bases in South America before some people start thinking seriously about the strategic implications of telling Western Europe that our support is conditional and/or for sale.
The Ukraine tracker shows that the US gave a lot of money, they are in dark blue as one of the leading nations. Probably the largest giver. You are right though, Probably less than all of Europe.No they didn't Most of the US aid has been in form of old weaponry and only a very small percentage has been cash transfers.

We all think the war needs to end but how it ends is the most important part of this.Russia invaded Ukraine
I agree strongly. Europe must remain an ally.
I am also against throwing billions at the problem and also think the war needs to end.
There have been many rounds of negotiations. All of them have failed, sure, but there have been attempts. Putin keeps demanding way too much.No negotiations to end the war up to this point. No attempt at trying.
