That's probably the only way it gets sorted. Other than him threatening Russia he will double funding or have US boots on the ground if he moves another muscle.

If Putin then decides to crack in to another country then it starts all over again.

I just can't see Trump pulling funding and just letting Putin take the rest of Ukraine then steam into elsewhere.

Trump is right in that why is the US that has to put up the most funding and weapons whilst the rest of Nato and those most in dangers trail behind?

Anyone who think Putin will be unhappy at this result has mental retardation
 

personally, I think trump will reduce funding but ultimately little will change and Russia will play the long game.

Unless Putin gets some sort of cancer. Then he may decide to just launch

Might not be popular but other than America saying they won't fund Ukraine and forcing a settlement how else does it get sorted ? 

it just doesn't

That would empower Putin to carry on through Estonia , Moldova and the rest of the old Soviet bloc

I'm struggling to be overly bothered about that to be honest (unless they're a paid up NATO member, then they will be protected, and he won't touch them)

If that happens we’re all fucked

Putin has been at war with NATO for more than ten years but we failed to notice. He has already killed several civilians on UK streets and is in alliance with Iran, North Korea and others. He is not going to be afraid of attacking a NATO country in the old Soviet bloc. Who will stop him if Trump decides that appeasement is better for the US?

If he does pull the US out of NATO, and I don't think he will, then NATO pretty much ceases to exist. 

I think most people know, if NATO stays in its current form, then Russia won't have a direct conflict. If Russia want to pick off ex-Soviet Bloc nations, who aren't in NATO, then crack on, it's not really any of our business. 

I'm still not sure, why anybody thinks Russia are actually going to start rolling tanks all over Europe in the near future, even if they are allowed to keep the bits of Ukraine that they've taken.

Hurting? When peace in Ukraine and the Middle East is a heartbeat away? I think you’ll find I’m delighted at this result.

It’s a win win for me. Think about it if you can.

Think about the poor people of Colorado, about to have a wall thrown up in a matter of days that they didn't ask for.

It has taken about 2 and a half years to get partially across Ukraine, the idea they have the ability to driving up Bond Street in next few weeks is crazy.

We have @royal whiteand his mates protecting us.

i dont know where all the votes from 2020 went. 

its probably about 17 million less. 

 

I saw that, far less people interested in voting this time, which I guess shows the quality of the candidates (or possibly just the increasing abject apathy that people have with regards to politics these days)

Exactly this. Wouldn’t even need my mates, a few football lads with a pack of Stella would do the trick.

Bit like when we decided to start rolling over Iraq and Afghanistan. 

We get to do what we want. Not sure why they can't.

Last time I checked they dont have compulsory voting. Plenty saw their choice as being between a douche and a turd.
