Everyone can see the play by President Trump. Essentially, the “coalition of the willing” (U.K, Germany, France) are not willing to go to war against Russia without the United States in front of them. Giving the coalition the weapons puts the consequences of their use on the heads of NATO allies.
Despite the majority of Washington DC, specifically the Senate thirsting, pleading and demanding an expanded NATO war, President Trump does not want to go to war against Russia. However, simultaneously Trump has to try and steer the war machine controlled by DC, the Senate, USIC and NATO.
The INERTIA for expanded war is evident. President Trump is now trying to split the baby regarding Russia, by sending patriot missiles and weapons to NATO as opposed to sending them directly to Ukraine.
In February Marco Rubio earnestly and honestly said, “The Ukraine conflict is a proxy war for the United States against Russia.” President Trump has concurred with that statement and through his prior comments he attempted to extricate the U.S. from this dynamic.
The shipment of missiles to NATO instead of Ukraine is simply a way of trying to stop direct support, yet Trump is forced by the inertia toward war to maintain a footing of expanded conflict with Russia.
To be very clear, Russian President Vladimir Putin is clear-eyed on this situation with NATO, and he has been all along.
Putin has said repeatedly that NATO was/is in direct conflict against Russia despite Ukraine not being a NATO member. This conflict with NATO well precedes Putin’s decision to conduct a ‘special military operation’ within Ukraine.
Now, we see through Trump’s approach the dropping of pretenses. Putin was correct. With NATO directly providing the war weapons to Ukraine there is no pretense, no doubt. NATO countries are funding an offensive war against Russia using a non NATO proxy state, Ukraine.
As I have said, this western triggering has always been the inertia for war, and that war is now likely to expand as a result of NATO and even, unfortunately, President Trump’s approach.
The only thing that works in his/our favor is the cowardice of the U.K, France and Germany to fight Russia without the USA.
President Trump may try and distance himself and by extension the USA from this consequence of expanded conflict. But the consequence exists regardless of the obfuscation. We are parsing terms.
The US is going to fund expansion of the conflict directly with arms to Ukraine or indirectly by sending arms to NATO to give to Ukraine. The destination and intent of the weapons is the same regardless of the procedural process.
I came to Russia this time to understand the nature of how western inertia to war can exist, despite the people of the west demanding the opposite. I wanted to see for myself exactly what Russia was preparing for, and exactly how the people of Russia were reacting to that preparation.
Russia is well prepared, both physically and psychologically to go to war against any adversary. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s approval rating is between 70 to 80%, and despite what you might have heard in western propaganda media, the economy inside Russia is doing very well. In addition to the two-year service requirement (18-20 years old), all men aged 25 to 35 have been refresher trained in preparation.
The psyche of the Russian military is ready to get rid of the Nazis. Also, the sentiment of Europeans’ dislike of Ukrainian Nazis is easy to spot, albeit not well known outside the region. Despite decades of Brussels and USA provocation and political manipulation (perhaps because of it), there’s not a lot of pro-NATO support for the west here.
I am not a big fan of Russia; nor do I agree with the way the government constructs societal life within it. There are a lot of negatives to daily life in Russia. However, I do have a complete understanding of the govt positions and reasons for them.
Western media have pretended that Ukraine was not a U.S/NATO proxy war against Russia. Now, those pretenses are dropped. Conversely, Vladimir Putin never pretended.
Putin always accepted that Ukraine was, and long has been, a NATO proxy state for conflict against Russia; which is exactly the reason he ‘invaded‘ Ukraine in the first place.
President Trump may be trying to split the baby amid the retention of pretense, but it’s a pretense Russian President Vladimir Putin never held, he could not afford to.
Thus, the inertia of war and people asking “how did this happen?”
If I am accurate in his exit strategy, President Trump hopes to extricate himself from the Russia-Ukraine problem by putting the conflict directly into the lap of NATO, more specifically into the lap of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz; the so called “coalition of the willing.”
President Trump is giving the weapons to NATO, again Starmer, Macron and Merz, for transfer to their buddy in Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. President Trump then stands back and draws distance from the consequence of what they do with them. However, this is also a massive provocation because NATO is now essentially operating on behalf of a non-NATO state, Ukraine, against another non-NATO power, Russia.
President Trump cannot remove the fact that the USA is the lead in all things NATO. As soon as France, Germany and the U.K start bombing Russia albeit from the geography of Ukraine, the conflict will expand.
NATO -thanks to President Trump- would then be baiting Vladimir Putin to attack France, Germany or the UK in retaliation, which would trigger Article 5; subsequently the USA is drawn into the conflict by agreement, and voilà a full expanded war between NATO and Russia commences.
But why?
If neither Russia or Ukraine are NATO members, why is NATO involved at all?
Good question. Perhaps President Trump will answer that question on Monday.
President Trump told NBC News, “I think I’ll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday.”
.
Live your very best life, but prepare for war.
Like a fat kid playing dodgeball, I’m out of here tomorrow (hopefully), and will hold an AMA on the topic of all things Russia next week.

How come the movie Charlie Wilson’s War comes to mind??
“But why?” What is the ultimate goal of “the coalition of the willing” using NATO to go to all-out war with Russia?
There are trillions at stake.
The ultimate goal? Profit, ideology, and fun! I remember my last night at my base in Kabul. Got invited out to smoke cigars with my colonel even though it was midnight, snowing, and I had wicked bad bronchitis. But hey! What are you going to do? So we’re smoking cigars in the snow at midnight, and he looks at me and says, “Isn’t this awesome? We’ve got helicopters, cigars, and guns. What more do you need?” Then it hit me: for some people, war can be fun.
I believe the war is to destroy or drastically reduce both Russia and USA.
We both are too powerful and fear. In one scenario, for example, we both can easily and basically rule the world. I think that the Davos elites want that power.
At any rate, both Russia and USA are too powerful and need to be destroyed. What better way than to have one destroy the other? The elites specialize in this kind of tactic.
Then, China and Europe can compete for power. I do not fear China.
The US should dump Ukraine on the EU and pull out of NATO, problem solved.
Ukraine used to be part of the USSR, what does in matter to the US if it’s back under Putin’s control. I’d rather focus finishing in the ME (Gaza) and have the IC looking into Cuba, Central and South America, kick the commies out of our hemisphere.
Congress has been planning this for quite awhile
appears that as soon as Biden was elected, they
started …..Trump proofing. 🤬😡

Destruction of Russia Empire and getting all the riches of that expansive land, Europe is dreaming about this for centuries!!!
Mackinder’s heartland theory explains a lot.
“Mackinder’s Heartland Theory is a geopolitical theory that explains how control of a certain region of the world could lead to global dominance. The theory was developed by British geographer Halford Mackinder in the early 20th century”
“In simple language, the Heartland Theory suggests that the key to global domination lies in controlling the vast landmass of Eurasia, which Mackinder called the “heartland.” According to the theory, the country or empire that controls the heartland can control the “world-island” of Eurasia and, ultimately, the world”

War with Russia will be the last gasp of the globalists.
The biggest error regarding “NATO” is to continue to call it the Defensive alliance that it (perhaps …) once was.
An alliance that wants to “defend against” a particular enemy certainly does not want to extend its borders directly to the border of their enemy. They would naturally want a large “buffer zone.” But this is not what NATO has done.
It was abundantly clear to the Russians that a NATO-backed army was poised, in Ukraine, to invade their country in a matter of days. They had been “armed to the teeth,” or so NATO thought. Russia therefore decided to seize the military advantage by attacking first.
Ever since “Operation Unthinkable,” immediately following V-E Day, Europe has thirsted for another “global War,” this time attacking Russia.
The Russians take great national pains to ensure that the memory is not forgotten. Perversely, France, England, and Germany(!) already have.
Pray that an article 5 voilà doesn’t cause a poof voilà nuclear hit, where that leaves us citizens in the dust.💀
The bottom line is that POTUS is the Commander in Chief.
The bottom line is that BBB – having his agenda in it – is now law. Does POTUS need to make deals with Congress for anyting important??
If NO, then our Commander in Chief can refuse to engage or enact the draft.
By sending the armament to NATO he stays within the treaty bounds and draws world attention to who it is that wants to fight Russia.
As long as We the People continue to say NO TO WAR, POTUS will have what is necessary to stand against the pressure he will face.
As this delays, Russia gains ground and creates the buffer zone they desired against NATO.
Will they be able to achieve that goal and come to the table to do a peace treaty before EU gets its act together is my question?
The DOGE recission bill is currently in the Senate. For many of us, that’s THE key piece of legislation. So, yes, he still needs their support.
The first DOGE recission bill, we hope
There better not be any draft!
EDIT: If a draft was ever enacted, I’d hope to see all MAGA patriotically raising their hands and volunteering as a show of support to President Trump.
😳 😳 🙄 🙄 😳 😳
Interesting isn’t it -that Ukraine just lowered
their draft age….to 25 years old…April 2024?
And Ukraine is whining that US is pushing Ukraine
to lower draft to 18?
🤔 🤔 This conflict has been going on since 2022.
Common sense would have been – that if you are
a country at war- on your own soil-…you would
have automatically put in the draft for men 18 and over.
Train and equip them.
It is their Country after all….why was/ has that not been done?
🤔 🤔
December 2024…Kyiv Independent
As US pushes Ukraine to lower conscription age, why won’t Kyiv draft younger men?
Ukraine won’t/hasn’t sent their 18 year olds into

There is NO way I would support a draft sending our 🇺🇸🇺🇸
18 year olds to Ukraine.

The law is ‘not airtight’: Trump may have a way out of NATO – POLITICO
President Trump will, sooner or later, have to stand and deliver. He will either choose peace and stop arming Urkraine, or he won’t do enough tp stop the war inertia, and therefore will be a participant.
If he chooses peace and disengagement, he will need to say so publically, dramatically and firmly. Such an action will be a significant risk to him politically and personally. There would be moves to impeach him immedicately, deploy flags against him, and the very real threat of personal harm to himself.
Stopping a war is as dangerous as starting one. Make a choice. Choose peace.
Step 1 for ending NATO.
It needs to be done👍👍
Not going to be easy though…..

U.S. legislation restricts Presidential authority to withdraw from NATO – National Security
GOOD MOVE President Trump!
I’ve been posting for weeks on Gab that 47 cannot remain neutral in peace negotiations if he is supplying weapons (defensive or not) to Ukraine!
Trump must have been reading my posts haha!
The next step for PDJT, remove the USA from NATO completely. It is clearly no longer a defensive alliance.
Which is why Congress made it impossible for President Trump (any future president) to unilaterally pull out of NATO.
This is good statesmenship. If we are selling weapons to nato countries for them to gift to Ukraine it puts economic presure on a continuingly poorer Europe to reconsider the depth of their support.
To add to the economic preasure we should cut all financial support we can consider a lawsuit from a domestic group against spending for foreign government support if th President does not have authority to withhold these funds.
Place.this in Europe’s lap as much as they can see how the spending plays domestically for them.
Teach nato an economic lesson by us risking war with Russia. Makes sense to me. /s
So the move is not, as the media pushing war says, we’re just going to give weapons to NATO. It’s “IF these NATO countries want to send their hardware to Ukraine, we can sell them replacements.”
Its high-stakes, but I’d say that’s better. It places the cowards in the position of having to make the first move in the hopes that President Trump will actually supply the replacements in a timely fashion after they’ve already poked the bear.
The Patriot missile systems that have previously been sent to the conflict, have not had the desired ‘effect’, but rather have shown to be somewhat inferior to Russian capabilities.
Love the pic! What a murderer’s row of corrupt, incompetent, and globalist nincompoops.
I see no point in further peace talks. Pointless.
Why are we even bothering ourselves with this ridiculous Ukraine debacle? They want to take on Russia? Be our guest – let us know how that works out. But WE are not participating in this war over another country’s perceived behavior that does not affect us in the least (unless we are dumb enough to allow it). Zelensky is a childish idiot besotted with himself as “president” of Ukraine who is terrified of having an actual election. We know what his “skills” are – dancing with a bunch of other “men,” playing the piano with his penis (I am surprised he even has one) and getting other people and nations to fight wars for him. Pathetic. Sorry to be so explicit but, really, this is absurd. As Nancy Reagan once said “just say no.”
Difficult when a definite red line for Russia
has always been that Ukraine not join NATO.
That Ukraine becomes a neutral country.
That has been Russian stance for more than
a decade.
President Trump starts negotiations with Russia….
and NATO continues pounding the war drum..🤬

I say that we invade Greenland, Denmark -I hope – declares war on us and NATO is fractured.
Voila! No article 5!
G-d bless and protect Donald Trump, his staff and his family.
Ooooh good question.
I had high hopes for the “new and improved” WH press room setup. We were supposed to see all forms of alternate media asking probing questions, about important topics. Instead we have CON Inc influencers asking fluff, or questions already answered in previous gaggles or by President Trump himself on a Truth Social post.
I am very disappointed in the clearly-incurious “new” media.
I mentioned before, the Monster. People read the lyrics to Steppenwolf Monster. ” Cause there’s a monster on the loose, It’s got our head in a noose, And it just sits there watching. ” ” America where are you now, Don’t you care about your sons and daughters, Don’t you know we need you now. We can’t fight alone against the monster.” Trump can’t fight alone.
Excellent tune.
My favorite Sundance meme.
Maybe…
Who benefits by war?
Who benefits by peace?
Predsident Trump needs to think very deeply about what he might say.
Not my monkey, not my circus…….comes to mind.
After the Soviet Union’s collapse, Ukraine had approximately 1,700 nuclear warheads.
The decision to disarm was influenced by the desire for international recognition and security guarantees from major powers.
In 1994, The Budapest Memorandum was signed by Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, promising to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Because the United States and Great Britain are members of NATO.
20 yeas later Commie dictator Putin reneges on Russia’s agreement with the invasion of Crimea as he begins to fulfill his lifelong ambition to reestablish the glory of the old Soviet Union.
Yes, ask the right questions!!
Those warheads were under the direct control of Moscow not Kiev.
So you agree, Putin broke the security agreement when he invaded Ukraine and Crimea which also included sign-offs by two NATO top countries, the US and GB.
So, when Trump makes his NATO statement on Monday, IF Trump adds the constraint that NATO uses the US supplied weapons to NATO, he can declare NATO’s offensive against Russia outside of the Parameter of the U.S. Coming to the Aid of a Fellow NATO Signatory the Treaty, and Declaring the treaty Null and Void and Walking away from it?!?! Brilliant!!! Genius!!! Not Our Circus: Not Our Monkeys! Time to cut ties with other War Mongers, END the NATO ENTANGLEMENT, AND TELL THE E.U. “GO Fund Yourselves!”
THIS IS 4-D Chess!
My thought is on Monday Trump will announce more sanctions on Russia.
Apparently he is just a puppet of the IC so he will do what they (whoever “they” are) tell him to do.
F Ukraine. Who cares.
Why do I not trust any of these people?
Because they are trying to murder us.
Godspeed Sundance!
Putin in interview with Tucker said He can not negotiate with “Presidents” because our country is run by the Black Suits…….
I don’t get that the inertia of war makes us send weapons to nato . I am not learned or sophisticated enough to understand why is this any kind of good?
If the war is at rest why do this?
I get that sending to nato is very slightly better than to pee pee piano guy, but still IDK.
Safe travels!

Maybe that is why German Kanzler “Fred” Merz said that diplomatic efforts with Russia have been “exhausted”.
My sincere hope is that 47, because he is a media savvy, outspoken, and charismatic President and individual he is the only one who should, could, and must go on television and social media and explain to the American people and the whole world that the U.S. intelligence community is evil and filled with psychopaths and all of the evil deeds they do and have done by showing evidence. Yes I know a lot of people will not believe Trump and people will call him a traitor and anti American and he will probably be assassinated. At least PDJT will go down as the best and most honest and open President in the U.S. and THE BEST world leader ever who tried to save civilization.
A question for the parliamentarian is article 5 triggered if a Nato country takes the side of a non-Nato country with hardware, intel and “specialists” provoking a response?
I think this needs to be forcefully explained.
Suicide pack anyone??
Trumps definitely taking a gamble here.
We will see if this pays off.
If NATO continues supplying the weapons than we know the bet hasn’t paid off.
The problem in the end is how long can this war sustain on both sides.
According to Mark Steyn Ukraine and Russia are both on the deaths end of demographics.
Neither countries have had enough children to sustain their respective countries.

How Christian Zionism distorts scripture to serve empire — RT World News
Great article – thank you for sharing! I have had many conversations with people in my church who misquote Genesis 12:3 frequently, in order to say that we MUST support anything and everything that the current modern, secular, political state called Israel says or does!
When I mention Romans 9:6 “For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel” they don’t seem to have a good answer (many don’t even know that verse). And when I ask if they are aware that the government of Israel cut a deal with Pzifer and forced their entire population to take the CC0v1d jab, many people are shocked!
The youngsters ….sent this to me.

Investigating America’s Richest Pastor: Kenneth Copeland – YouTube
Thankfully, I do feel that there is a movement underway to expose some of the serious and significance issues within the modern Evangelical Church.
There is a real lack of Biblical teaching, which makes it very easy for people to have their emotions and their finances manipulated! Again, a lot of this tracks back to the creation of the non-profit loophole in our tax code. So many things happened in the 1910s – 16th and 17th amendments, creation of the Federal Reserve, and the beginning of the push for worldwide forever Wars!

Gary Hamrick has been and remains a very strong supporter of President Trump and his policies. I did not post this as a ‘pro Israel post’ but rather to the agreement with the statement from SD that war is inevitable and that as pointed out in the video peace is not possible.
The agreement Netanyahu made with Pfizer is not defendable on any level.
I cannot ignore Romans 11–God has not rejected Israel. If one studies end time prophecy one realizes that according to Scripture all Israel will be saved when He returns and 2/3 of them will have perished. Zech. 13:8-9

“Prepare for war”
Something I imagine that Russia has been doing continuously.
The EU, wedded as they still are to destroying their only reliable energy sources which could fuel their preparations (and maintenance) for war, not so much. Never mind the UK’s and EU’s financial, economic, and social situations become more precarious by the day.
In the meantime, our own inventory has been almost depleted…or so I read.
Talk is cheap and easy. How soon is this full blown war supposed to occur? Any putative timelines?
Once conscription begins in earnest, I am looking for, hoping for, that simmering anger within the EU and the UK to finally reach boiling point.
So much can happen between a bellicose now and a point of no return eruption at a future date.
Again, ad nauseum, I remind others of Lord Macmillan’s realistic response to the question what could derail his plans as Prime Minister…
“Events, dear boy, events.”
Praying for Divine intervention with a boatload of those.
Remember to tell everyone…..
Ukraine just lowered draft age to 25 years old

everyone should be aware of.
Draft age is 18 for both US and UK.
👍 👍
December 2024 -Kyiv Independent
As US pushes Ukraine to lower conscription age, why won’t Kyiv draft younger men?
Maybe because a lot of the 18-24 age group all got the heck out of Ukraine back in 2022, 2023?
POTUS cannot unilaterally withdraw US from NATO thanks to the AutoPen administration: in 2023, the U.S. Congress passed a provision to require congressional approval by 2/3 vote for any U.S. withdrawal from NATO, adding a layer of political oversight to the process (Brave AI answer).
I have also learned from Brave AI that all NATO decisions are made by consensus, not majority and must be debated via representation in the North Atlantic Council. (Even tho in reality Brussels is pulling the strings)
So if POTUS were to insist that NATO nations follow the NATO processes for moving forward, it might be the trick for getting some sunlight on the real situation.
Additionally, POTUS or his representative could refuse any action based on the reality that two warring non NATO nations does not trigger any NATO contingency regardless of the Coalition of the Willing’s independent involvement outside NATO parameters, even if they are attacked in the process.
Lastly, the constitution requires congressional approval for military action even tho Bush and Obama acted unilaterally in involving us in NATO-lead conflicts. So even tho Congress is demanding it, they will never openly vote for it because the people are against it and they wouldn’t get reelected to the hog trough. Plus it would take 2/3 vote. As long as POTUS worded it something like, NATO wants this, the people of the US don’t, so I bring it to you per the Constitution I think it would put the heat on Congress where it should be
Thank you Sundance for all you do and have done! You are looked as a blessing!!! CARRY ON!
Sheesh! I send Sundance $$$, and Sundance takes a vacay in Russia.
Guess I will need to send more $$$.
Thank You Sundance for being our intel eyes on the ground!
That sums it up, alright.
A response directly to Germany or France would stimulate an Article 5 convention, but the US will not do direct action against Russia.
Russia has already pronounced that collaborators in offense against it are eligible recipients of retribution. Were Germany, et al, to be brazen enough to undertake an impactful venture, they could indeed get blowback. Running to an Article 5 assembly as a result would be met with consternation and rejection: “Don’t go poking the damned bear!”
Trump will not author force directly against Russia if NATO nations are the instigators. There is no being dragged into war on that basis.
From what I read Trump is authorizing the use of defensive weapons only for NATO to be used in Ukraine. His concern is humanitarian. He wants to stop the killing in the short term. If that is true you can hardly say the USA is “rearming” Ukraine or that Trump is tacitly endorsing European ambitions to attack Russia. Trump the idealist thinks there is a better way forward. I think he still believes Ukraine will have to give up eastern territory in any settlement. It is clear Putin has abandoned all such idealism and may have concluded the only realistic path forward is the total vanquishment of Ukraine. I don’t entirely blame him for thinking this.
I don’t blame him for thinking that either. BTW what is the difference between a defensive weapon and an offensive one?
The majority of the American people have/want no stake in this war; it cannot be legitimized. There is no goal here.. Expose Congress, withdraw from NATO and do not be surpprised when the country expresses their approval.
“😔 LOSING our Heritage?”
I could have sworn I heard him say he would stop this specific war on day one. Must have been dreaming.
That was one of his promises that was overwhelmingly approved by the voters. Now we find out that he has his hands tied behind his back and is not really in charge. Just like the autopen administration we do not know who is really calling the shots. This is all very discouraging.
I’ll wait to read what Sundance has to say after he gets back. We know in part and we prophesy in part but then face to face.
Ukraine’s government is as corrupt as they come! Any support of those criminals goes against everything America stands for, or use too!
There will be no war between Russia and NATO. It will be a war against those who join with Russia and those who are NATO. Thinking that countries such as NK or perhaps even China to a certain degree will not take the chance to fight is a death wish. There is one and only one solution for the US to stop everything and that is to leave NATO. Otherwise, the man with the fishing pole is going to put out all our eyes.
Obviously “coalition of the willing” wants Russia to attack them so that it’s a NATO war with the US dragged in.
If we can get them to attack Russia directly, President Trump can say “It’s your war boys, have at it”.
It’s all up to Putin’s patience.
As the globalist machine grinds away behind the scenes pushing the world towards war, President Trump needs to go public with full transparency of the truth of this situation. Damn the repercussions and deal upfront NOW with restoring the checks and balances of our Constitutional Republic. The fate of America and the world demand it!
NATO doesn’t want peace & UK/FR/GER & RINOs will not acquiesce to PDJT’s peace drive.
Biden got Congress to give $174B in April 2024 in more munitions, missiles and combat vehicles. I don’t see an end in sight, and if we do, there will just be a false flag.
Live your best life, but prepare accordingly.
Best of luck and safe travels SD. President Trump is trying to distance himself from the goofy Europeans.
I wish Putin would have played along with President Trump and try to get a cease fire. Putin should have trusted President Trump to work out a great deal.
Why can’t DJT just say NO to distributing any U.S. made weaponry anywhere to anybody? Him doing just that would fix a lot of stuff with a single word. “NO!”
Simply, since the NATO countries are now ponying up with their increased financial commitments, Trump figures it is time to offload the Ukraine burden to NATO as a whole. It is only right.
Maybe this has been answered by Sundance or in the comments. If so, I still don’t understand it. I have high regard for President Trump, so I am having big-time cognitive dissonance. This looks like pretending at the level a five-year-old might (or might not) take seriously.
What is the reason for President Trump to send weapons to Ukraine through NATO intermediaries?
Would anyone, particularly Russia, regard it any differently than if we sent weapons directly to Ukraine?
What would happen if PDJT simply did not send weapons for Ukraine’s use, either directly or via NATO? Is this something President Trump could do?
That’s what I thought, too, but apparently some nebulous blob is actually making these decisions. But look on the bright side. If we are all vaporized in a nuclear war, we won’t have to worry about it anymore.
Calling Putin’s pitch “bullshit” was a deliberate reset: Putin (like Iran) is learning that Trump doesn’t reward empty words; instead, he escalates until real concessions arrive, and, meanwhile, this forces Europe to put skin in the game. It’s seeming consistent and coherent within Trump’s negotiation playbook.
The U.S. doesn’t have the arms to “escalate” without getting directly involved – which would be air power only, since it would take 6 months to get the troops and tanks in theater. Sending a few Patriots only slows Ukraine’s defeat.
“Live your very best life, but prepare for war.”
How in the world do you prepare for modern warfare? I live about 2 miles from a US Air Force Base but maybe that is good, the dead will be the lucky ones in a nuclear war.
Bless you, SD. You are a trusted voice.
