None of this makes any sense unless you erase history entirely.
Russia has never abided by any agreement it has made. It’s a serial violator of international law, and Ukraine is the latest, most blatant example. Russia doesn't negotiate in good faith, it advances, takes what it wants, and then demands more. The endgame isn’t peace, it’s the complete erasure of Ukraine from the map.
And yet, rather than confronting this reality, you've done everything in your power to shift blame onto Ukraine, as if Russia's aggression was somehow invited rather than a calculated imperial ambition.
But even if Ukraine falls, it won’t end there. It never does.
And now Trump is openly musing about doing the same to Canada and Greenland. At first, it sounds like deranged ramblings, another dose of "filling the zone with sh
it
", but that’s precisely the problem. He’s testing the waters, seeing how far the Overton window can be shifted. And too many people are playing along.
Bending the knee to Putin, handing over Ukraine’s resources, industries, and manpower, does not weaken Russia, it strengthens it. Anyone selling this as a means contribute to breaking the Russia-China axis is either delusional or lying.
Trump isn’t controlling Putin, he’s doing Putin’s bidding. If Trump had any real leverage over Moscow, this war would be over. At the very least, a ceasefire would have been signed. But no, Trump’s only real tool is the financial & banking sanctions, targeted sanctions on Russian elites & oligarchs, trade & export bans, frozen Russian assets, and measures to counter Russian evasion attempts implemented before his regime resumed.
And yet, here we are, with Trump floating the idea of easing sanctions under the guise of “facilitating peace negotiations.” His administration has already directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft plans for sanctions relief, supposedly to “restore ties with Moscow” and “end the conflict.”
The results are already clear. A preliminary agreement between Russia and Ukraine, brokered by the US, has been reached to halt maritime attacks in the Black Sea and cease strikes on energy targets. In exchange, the US pledged to lift some sanctions on Russian agricultural and fertilizer exports. But, predictably, Russia immediately demanded more, specifically, the restoration of banking connections to the international financial system before doing anything.
And Trump will cave. He’s so desperate for a deal, any deal, that he'll hand Russia exactly what it wants, no questions asked.
Art of the deal!
All of this, ceding Ukraine’s land, resources, industries, and people, and now the prospect of easing banking sanctions, will directly fuel a resurgent Russia.
In what world is this a good thing?!
And for what? So Russia can pretend to play nice just long enough to regroup, rearm, and invade again?
How can you keep defending this? It’s madness.
