Surrender to idiots and bloodthirsty butchers, or rely on people who have vested interest in holding Russia back.

Gee, what an absolutely impossible choice...

Flaky European friends heavily manipulated and influenced by Russia. Look at all the right wing bullshit getting funded by Russia all over Europe actively pursuing power in politics, and it's working.

Russia is Europe's next door bank robbing rapist alcoholic repeat offender and they need to be taken out back like a rabid dog and ended.

This is the reality, I posted years ago that as much as I want Russia to be kicked to the curb and Ukraine get all their land back, including Chrimea, it is unrealistic.

I sadly expect the war to end with Ukraine loosing not only Chrimea, but also Luhansk and possibly even Donbas.

At this point, it kinda feels like the best option they have is a deal that doesn't limit their military.

I would also expect that there would be another war in a few years should Ukraine accept any land losses.

... As if Trump isn't the flakiest of flakes?

Remember what happened the last time Ukraine had a deal with the US?

Remember what happened basically every time Trump made a deal with anyone?

Edit: I was attempting to point out that the US, especially under Trump, is an unreliable partner and not an entity worth making deals with if one one expects that deal to last or be in one's benefit. There's literally no part of comment about Ukraine's autonomy, dependency, or governance structure (past or present). I am aware of the coupes, and I appreciate the information being shared regardless for those that aren't.

Flaky European friends.... The ones that stuck with Ukraine after the US abandoned them?
