That's the operative phrase these days, not just with Ukraine.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
I am surprised you don't understand what is happening.Basically nothing. A fat clown wanted to have his ego stroked, and Zelensky being a smart guy did that.
They both walk away knowing full well they achieved nothing, but the fat idiot will go on TV boasting about his peace making skills and Zelensky takes home a bit of a good news about the weapons - which still might be just a vaporware.
Of which he (trump) has none, but it is a stupid game, and they both get some benefits from that idiotic announcement.
Ukraine knows it doesn't want a ceasefire because it only works in russia's favor, but they pretend to accept the proposal (not the ceasefire, just words) knowing full well it is not going to happen.
So good PR and photo op for trump, and some real benefits for Ukraine... but nothing else.

He either agrees and salvages something, or he doesn't agree and Ukraine gets slowly ground to pieces.
He can't rely on the US. Nobody can rely on the US anymore, not even US citizens. That should be painfully clear.
He's lucky in a way. When Diem outlived his usefulness, we had him whacked.
I've been telling you all along, there's going to be some kind of agreement and Ukraine is going to give up any claim to Crimea and the Donbas region.
The Right thinks the Ukraine war was cooked up by Joe Biden and the Democrats in order to hide Biden's involvement with Burisma. It's an article of faith, and it's going to be the operative policy for a long time.

no minerals for anyone.
anything else is a loss.
foul the sarcophagus at chernobyl.
fuck everyone.
Ukrainians reportedly have supplies to last them a year and are mass producing drones and missiles.
Since they can't rely on US anyway what leverage US has to force the deal rally ? Even Russians say that the only person interested in a peace agreement at this point is Trump.
Still, Ukrainians are on defensive and are not in a position to change that situation. Ceasefire serves them more becuase Europeans are readying support and because Ukrainian troops are exhausted and in need of rotation.
The peace deal which is on the table resembles capitulation and has no chance to pass. On the other hand, anything less than that and Russians lost million of souls for nothing. Worse, it would ensure determined, deadly and vengeful armed forces supplied with arms by EU as a constant and credible threat on the border. Russians have to break that army and turn Ukraine into subjugated territory with restricted and weak armed forces. They enthusiastically welcome US change of heart not becuase they believe it will lead to any short term solution but becuase it gives them validation and justify their actions.
How long will they last without munitions from the US?
The US can cut off aid and pressure the rest of Europe to do likewise.
It's an article of faith on the Right that Joe Biden started the war in order to hide his family's involvement with Burisma. Trump's first impeachment was the result of his phone call to Zelenskyy.
I could easily envision the US not only withdrawing support for Ukraine but actively helping Russia win the war.

next year and it won't be able to sustain the war in present capacity. Eu munitions manufacturing will pick up and Ukraine's own production will accelerate as well. That's what I was able to pick up from Polish think tank report from Ukraine visit. They were shocked by the level of Ukrainian cruise and ballistic missile developments and drone producing capacity. They want now to convince Polish industry to start building the missiles on Ukrainian patents instead of buying it from US. From Russian bloggers I heard China is indifferent in selling the products as long as there is a buyer so they sell million simple drones to Russia and million of the same drones to Ukraine. Money doesn't stink. The reality is nobody in public sphere knows anything for sure and what the truth is. We can only argue on principle and observe the official theatre.
If one day you feel the desire to learn a bit more than what the prime time news tells you about Ukraine, we might talk.
But it is a big subject... you can't learn it from a few one liners.

It should be as plain as the nose on your face. Ukraine can't beat Russia without US help and Zelenskyy can't count on the US anymore.
He can't count on Europe either. The Far Right in Europe is pro-Russia and it's on the verge of gaining power in Germany, France, and the UK.
The White House turned on the aid spigot again today but that valve can be just as easily closed tomorrow.

1. Yes, Ukraine can beat russia without US help, provided there is strong European one. Which is beginning to happen.
2. The current momentum in Europe is strongly in Ukrainian favor.
3. Ukraine lived for SEVEN MONTHS without US help. Did it crumble during that time? My memory it telling me NO.
Do you think trump will accept the role of the benched player?

Do you really think EU will step up and help Ukraine?
I am not seeing this... So far all tough talk but nothing happens.
It takes too long to get their shit together. Germany finally promised to spend more in defence but they do not even have a government yet. The NL MP just shot down €800bn defence spending plan. I am not surprised if other EU countries follow suit.
I read that EU has nothing to give to Ukraine till they ramp up the productions. How can they fight without ammos?

They are already doing it.It is going to take some time to get there, but they are moving and the proper dynamics are there. Why do you think Rheinmentall is building factories in Ukraine?
The re-arming drive is going to cover not just Ukraine, but also the other vulnerable countries such as the Baltics.
It is going to be a painful period, but the Ukrainians have shown the world what they can do. No one predicted they would hold for more than a few days, and they are still there and fighting, and their strikes are getting more and more painful.

Your Nazis are losing approximately 20 sq. kilometers a day and "advancing" steadily backwards.

See which fills up fastest.
I have no idea what it means, and they didn't either, but you've got a lot of wishful thinking there.

The fat shit already tried that once. Yes, more Ukrainians died as result... he had nothing else to show for it. That murderous piece of shit...

But then the Soviets regrouped and Finland realized it was going to lose and made peace.
Ukraine made a good showing on its own at the beginning but it was never going to last. Russia's bigger, has more people, can sustain more casualties, can build more weapons.
The European center and center-right parties are zombies. They're dead but they don't know it yet. And the Euro Far Right is pro-Russia.

This war is in its early stages.
You are wrong treating it as some border conflict, you will be surprised in 2-3 years.

People in the US will be walking around with "who farted" looks on their faces wondering how things went so bad so fast. Ukraine will be the farthest thing from our minds.
The Finns held out for a few months, scored some impressive victories at the beginning, which led Hitler to believe that the Red Army would be a pushover.
But Finland wasn't getting outside help.

The US is becoming Russia. Fall out of favor with The Man, you better make your hat.
My wife and I are gonna renew our passports while we still can. I'm giving serious thought to getting the hell out. I'm eligible for Italian citizenship. Once granted, we could live anywhere in the EU. Spain would be my choice.

Lot of Europeans there.

Yet.

Follow your gut and do what's best for you and your wife.

It's likely there will be no future there and US will be in much better situation just becuase it is US which is pulling the strings not EU. There is an opinion that US will start to cannibalize it's vasals economies to keep itself from sinking. This is what we are observing now in some beginning stages.
