The US and Ukraine have finalized a ‘temporary ceasefire deal’ during the Jeddah talks, which were meant to be a kind of conciliatory round two chance for Ukraine to amend for Zelensky’s faux pas.

    I don’t expect the invader to accept a proposal to stop their invasion. Hopefully Trump realizes this soon and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

    Trump immediately announced all previous restrictions on weapons aid and intel sharing to be lifted from Ukraine

    Seems he is half-way there in doing what needs to be done to stop Russia’s invasion.

          Nah, it’s not a slippery slope to suggest that people who want wars should fight in them. It’s funny how brave y’all are when it’s other people dying for your ideology.

      and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.

      How? Ukraine will need troops from additional armies in order to win against Russia.

                Not even. The Soviets won that war for them, they came in late like the vultures they are to reap the rewards.

                  Indeed, it was Russia that enabled the other allies to land on D-Day. The eastern front occupied the best German troops. One would never know this if reading Anglo-Saxon history, though. Sad.

                Hasn’t won any wars with unlimited objectives. Where there is no clear end goal, because regime change and installing a friendly government isn’t really clear and actionable.

                The first Gulf War had limited objectives, was a massive success and took only 6 months.

                  Cowardly bombing a country is not ‘fighting a war’
                  Even then, like the ukranians you mostly used a proxy, the Kurds and other local factions to do the fighting for you.
                  And in good american tradition you threw them under the bus later.

                    I think you need to brush up on your history. And who is “you”? I’m not even American my friend.

              It’s the same story every time. Eventually, the US realizes that the proxy war has become a sunk cost and leaves their proxy to hang.

      They are going backward WITH their weapons and have to kidnap kids and granddads off the streets.
      Tell me genius, how exactly are they going to “stop their invasion”. Are you still living in your 2022 Russia is running out of arms and gas fantasy?
      It will end when the fascists are defeated, orange man or anyone else has no say in this and can’t do shit about that.

      Amazing operation BTW from Russia going 15K in a gaspipe and then destroying and capturing what’s left of the Banderites.
      Somehow you don’t show that in your cringe combat videos.
      No wonder you live in a fantasy world.
      Is the ghost of kiev coming back too?

      @BombOmOm@lemmy.world I doubt very much that the USA could stop the Russians, even if they wanted too.

        Years of pumping Ukraine full of cutting edge western weapons to the point of bringing both the EU’s and US’s weapon stockpile dangerously low couldn’t stop Russia, there isn’t anything the west can do to stop Russia.
