Regulars know I'm not a Trump fan but I agreed with him when he asked why so many NATO members were paying far less than their due whilst the USA was paying far more. Likewise I feel the USA should be entitled, after three years of massive support for Ukraine, to say "Enough is Enough - time to talk". And to refuse to fund further killing which is getting nowhere. Russia was wrong to invade. But three years later the USA is right to say ENOUGH ALREADY!

Except that all the security and military experts are saying that caving in to Putin and rewarding him for his aggression will just embolden him to strike Ukraine again and other countries. So even more deaths. Even Trump must realise that. But I think his prime objective is not stopping the killing (after all, it doesn't seem to bother him in Gaza/the West Bank) but saving money.

No Ukraine should not "give in" to Putin but yes, they should negotiate a peace satisfactory to each.
I suspect, if they sell mineral rights to the USA, that country will contribute to security.
I'm not convinced Putin or Russia wants to invade anywhere else.
But perhaps you know more than I?

No, I don't know any more than you. I'm just going by what the security and military experts are saying.

Putin will not invade another country. He has struggled tactically in Ukraine alone, and has lost thousands of troops, even having to go with cap in hand to Jong Un and ask for assistance. The gravest danger is if the USA pull out of NATO as is the wish of the idiot Musk. This would leave the UK alone vulnerable to attack. Russia's Satan 2 could completely destroy the
UK in 7 minutes flat. The power of 3000 Hiroshima atom bombs in one fail swoop. And Putin would have no fear of a NATO free USA response. Europe would hesitate to respond also due to fear of nuclear attack. The UK is horribly isolated vulnerable and alone. Part of the plan of Brexit of course. And guess what? The world would keep on rolling by without this tiny Island.

It's sad, but the basic fact is: it's taken Trump's outrageous behaviour to actually trigger the first serious concerted effort by European leaders to sit down and work out how to end the war. Up till then, it's just been an endless cycle of individual leaders going to Ukraine, having a selfie and then granting more money and arms. That's what I'd expect a proper impartial news broadcaster to ask: why now? Why has it taken THIS for THAT? Instead these bureaucratic pin-pushers are being applauded for being so, well, not Trump. But the shaming thing is: without Trump, when exactly were they planning to DO something? That's a shocking indictment of European political inertia.
