How Trump could achieve peace in Ukraine

[BeBMan]

Had no time to read the article, so I'm most qualified for this topic. However, the headline notes possible swapping of territory?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/09/ukraine-war-briefing-trump-flags-swapping-of-territories-as-he-and-putin-set-a-date-for-alaska-talks

What could it be?

Russia gives up Kursk region for Crimea? Or, as Trump is teh disruptor, it's all different. I mean, if Ukraine doesn't get a set at the table when he meets the aggressor, it's between US and Russia only! Surely one way to settle things is to give back Alaska to Russia, which then leaves all occupied lands. Must be a reason why they meet there.

I was wondering the amount of λυποτάκτες, what it is in english? deserters? or ριψασπις ripsaspis, in spartan dialect, the ones who drop their shields, spartans were dope when it came to discribe deserters, it is safe to say they didn't like them at all. i wonder if they even existed in spartan society. even when the moms were saying i tan i epi tas to thei sons. you either return with your shield, or on it.

to return on it, it means you died in battle, it wasn't like there were pride parades back then and people were lying on shields


anyway i wonder off.

all thos efancy very expensive cars with ukranian plates that you can find on the streets?


those are the kids of wealthy ukranians that have the right because they have money, that's what america dictates, to escape their lot

[Bereta_Eder]

now let's say there is a deal. when people stop dying it is always very safe to say that it is good.
but when there is blood cost, on both sides, you have to wonder.

why did all those people died for?

anyway, then in palestine/israel there is a proper ethnic cleaning going on. the last time this apparently happened NATO went in to save the poor muslims. but if you're the wrong kind, they won't save you. muslims vs orthodox = good muslims. muslims vs jews = bad muslims.

who can explain this western delicacy?

noone.

also there is a guy named rapaport

that's like passing next to a severe car accident and can't help not looking

permanent divorce with reality

I love the scorching to candance owens btw. I don't watch greek reality tv anymore. there are things 100% better

[Bereta_Eder]

also the PM is a sharp shrewd fox. as the protestations abiout israel swell up he announced 8,5 tons of aid to gaza. food and medecins


here are the greek planes delivering it

King Donnie will be meeting with Putin in Alaska, apparently one of the few places outside Russia where Putin will not be arrested as soon as he appears there. Putin is under indictment of the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the stealing/kidnapping of Ukrainian children.

When they meet, Vlad and Donnie are basically going to try/pretend to "negotiate" the end of the war, basically by agreeing to the same effing conditions that Putin has insisted on in every "peace talk" since the 2022 Russian invasion.

And of course, no one from the sovereign nation of Ukraine will even be invited.

Russia should be allowed to keep the port of Dikson - Ukraine gets the rest.
Zelenskyy can then declare the Jewish Autonomous Oblast 'New Israel', and Palestinians can return to Palestine.

Sad irony is that both wars seem to be mainly on still to keep folks in power, wether it's Putin or Netanyahu. Significant parts of the public and even of the army/security branch in Israel do not support N. But we can always hope for Donnie making 24hr peace deals everywhere

Just read Donald is putting DC under federal control and wants to deploy the National Guard there. Days before meeting with Putin

It's difficult not to be into conspiracy stuff these days

[pchang]

It would be ironic if Donnie achieves peace in Ukraine by getting Putin to go to Alaska. Once Putin leaves Russia, some of his “friends and colleagues” may use that as an opportunity to enact a leadership change.

[Dauphin]

I can see Trump giving Alaska to Putin by mistake and then blaming Biden.

[Ming]

Maybe Putin will fall out of a hotel window

[Uncle Sparky]

Maybe they both will.

tRump likes meeting with folks like Netanyahu and Putin. I'm sure they're both giving him good advice.
I guess since the military and police (who answer to tRump) are being mobilized, gerrymandering won't matter... you'd need an election for the new boundries to take effect.
