Read Causalties by Prof. J.P.Clark.

You would understand better. War is just business on other people's blood. Those the world consider the 'useful idiots'.

No one truly wins. Everyone loses. Except the script writers and the bankers. When you read that poem, you will understand better.

The sooner Ego drops and the war ends, the better. Those useful idiots are humans too. They didn't start the war but they usually pay the Supreme Price at each turn of global events. Why?

I shall never know. But Trump understand this perfectly well. Hence, he is ending that blood sucking activities. Next should be Gaza. But Oga fit nor near that side.
The war no go quick end like that..oo if the US/West put Donesk region for the negotiation.
Bcuz Putin don vow say over him dead boby,him no go leave that region

Abi NATO don tire to defeat Russia??
NATO don see new weapons, next generation missiles, them humble. Russia just developed a missile that can reach anywhere in Europe when fired from Russia soil. Their new SU -57 is capable of carrying both long rang conventional missiles as well as nuclear warheads and they can launch such missiles from their air space without having to enter enemy airspace. They have modified their missiles to be able to beat the patriot the US most sophisticated air defence system. That is why the west is shivering . There is no air defence system in the world for now that can intercept Russia 's missiles

Ukraine has previously acknowledged improvements that Russia has made to increase the maneuverability of its ballistic missiles, but the report marks a concerning assessment for the Patriot air defenses that the US and many of its allies and partners also rely on for missile defense.

All these one are stories, he is tired of the war as well. Does war brings any profit? No, and he knows how much it has cost him so far. He want the war to end. shocked. Shine your eyes.
He still insist on taking that Donbass Ukrainian region.
And Europe don't want that to happen.

Don't celebrate yet . The war will continue until the root cause is addressed

Ukrainians will be alarmed, however, that at the joint appearance in front of the media Vladimir Putin yet again spoke of the "root causes" of the conflict and said only their removal would lead to lasting peace.

Translated from Kremlin-speak, this means he is still determined to pursue the original objective of his "special military operation" - which is to dismantle Ukraine as an independent state. Three-and-a-half years of Western efforts have failed to make him change his mind, and that now includes the Alaska summit.

The uncertainty that persists after the meeting is also worrying. What happens next? Will Russia's attacks continue unabated?

The past few months have seen a succession of Western deadlines that came and went without consequences, and threats that were never carried out. Ukrainians see this as an invitation for Putin to continue his attacks. They may see the apparent lack of progress achieved Anchorage in the same light.

Outside of trump not wanting to spend money in that war. Putin himself want the war to end. The war was a mistake Putin regretted.

Any more further delay will cause many problem for Russia and Ukraine.

Since Trump is not interested in the war it has weakened Europe supports already and Ukraine itself. Which made Russia to gain some advance.

This war cause global meltdown and inflation. The European citizen never supported the war in the first place it was a miscalculation to weakened Russia influence over interfering against US, Europe decision in other countries.
what they did was just a mere meeting don’t be surprised before dawn tomorrow you will see that Zelensky and his soldiers has sent drones to destroy somewhere they don’t want the end to this war including their European allies, a friend of mine in Germany said the European leaders are really angry at the meeting between Trump and Putin that it is a disgrace 🤣😂💔

Every world leader just dey flatter Trump to trigger his vain sense of self importance. From NATO secretary-general calling Trump 'Daddy' at the NATO summit to which Trump was later seen smiling and telling reporters, “I think he likes me" and now Putin is repeating the flattery of Trump knowing fully well what the vain self absorbed Trump likes to hear.

Who is the one begging here. If it was your nation that was attacked without reason, you for find way talk better thing.

Russia can't even hold itself against Ukraine, now Putin is saying "the war wouldn't have started if trump was here" that's the words of a tired man. Person wey go north Korea for help and he still never win.

Was the US able to hold itself against Afghanistan, the poorest country in the world?

Is Afghanistan more powerful than Ukraine? Did Afghanistan receive the same military and economic support as Ukraine?

The US lost to goat herders after fighting them for 20 years. Even with the full backing of NATO.

50 NATO and European countries have sent weapons, money and troops to support Ukraine?

How much did North Korea send? So you're saying North Korea is greater than those countries?

Because Ukraine is supposed to be winning since the so called better countries are throwing in everything for them.

Putin could wipe out Ukraine if he wants to. But he knows they are largely Russians too and share same historical ties. He’s just being patient.

The US never fought Afghanistan, they fought Taliban in Afghanistan. Only 20,000 Marines were sent to Afghanistan, unlike 900,000 Russia soldiers sent with full amonition to Ukraine.

Recap, USA sent 20,000 marines with mvs and Limited air support only, no tanks, no missiles. Target was the Taliban terrorist in Afghanistan not Afghanistan itself.

Russia sent 900,000 (then extra 300,000) to Ukraine on a full scale war.

Infact Russia during it Soviet Union days attacked Afghanistan to make it one of the USSR, they failed woefully, Attacked Finland, they were also defeated, Attacked Georgia, unable to fulfill their goal.

Russia has always been lossing wars.
