It's getting 2MM Russians to leave the island.

Zelenskyy is retaking Crimea without needing a massive land force to capture it.

Trump can’t do a thing to stop it.

Ukraine doesn’t need the US anymore.

Things seem to be accelerating exponentially in Ukraine’s favor , and Russia is flailing desperately.

I believe he is losing the war outright. The pressure Ukraine has been applying via their drone attacks leading to fuel shortages is also very effective. War is now an every day reality for the population in Russia, not something relegated to the front lines. They do not like it at all.

I would not be surprised if Putin start losing his grip on the country as well. He is an aging dictator with an angry population. Russia's main income is the sale of oil and that is dropping drastically. The economy is collapsing.

I bet that within a year this war will end. Either Putin will try to negotiate with Ukraine and end the war, trying to keep his control on Russia or he will be overthrown.

I think Russia implodes this winter.

Russian military has lost a half million men, more than the US lost in WW II.
And there is no way Putin can put any positive spin on his disaster.

Because of The Walking Zombie in the White House, Ukraine was only allowed to
defend their territory with no strikes to Russia. Now that the Dictator, the Liar and
Thief is irrelevant and Ukraine is hitting Russia where it hurts (something that should
have been allowed from the beginning) in a real war where your homeland is a target,
my oh my how the tables start to turn.

Trump….. sit your sorry ass down.

Independent analysts put the real reduction at 40-47%. Russia is screwed.

In Ukraine (including Crimea), for peace talks to start. So why, at this awkward moment, is Trump pushing peace talks? It makes no sense. Putin is still demanding all of the partially occupied areas of Ukraine, when they will soon hold less than half of that - assuming that Crimea falls to Ukraine in the next month or so.

Putin must have reminded Trump how much is riding on the next moves, so Trump is going to the NATO meeting to raise hell and pressure Ukraine to give Putin everything that he wants. I am hoping NATO leaders are ready this time. It is no sure thing.

or a rabbit between the ears. If he chooses the rabbit, they simply thrust their hips forward,
turn their front pocket inside out and say, "What's up Doc".

Because I wonder how much more of this the public and military will put up with. Maybe there will be a coup soon?—of course, that's not always good.

Wouldn't want him to fall out a window right about now, would we? 🤫🤔🫡
