    @yogthos @theunknownmuncher Well we are two weeks away from an Presidential election here in the US, going to be interesting to see where that goes. If Kamaltoe, er, Kamala gets it then probably we won’t even be able to discuss it anymore.

      My expectation is that Ukraine is going to be dumped after the election regardless of who wins. The whole gig has run its course at this point, and there’s a new war with Iran being drummed up already.

        @yogthos Trumps past record suggests not. The real question is what the outcome will be. I do expect if he is elected, we will see negotiated outcomes.

          I think the events on the ground will be what dictates things ultimately. Russia is wining the war, and even western media is starting to grudgingly admit it. The west is basically tapped out in terms of material support, and Ukraine is running out of manpower to keep the war going. Eventually, it’s either gonna be NATO boots on the ground or Russia dictating terms. And the former almost certainly means a nuclear holocaust.
