LIVE COVERAGE: Trump Delivers “Renewal of the American Dream” Speech To Congress
Expect MAJOR announcements from Trump!
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Not differently at all, that is the madness I speak of.
However, now Zelenskyy has swallowed his pride and given a grovelling apology, European leaders will probably have the chance to back down to their usual mode of wait and see while doing nothing, business as normal.
.
There is a clear difference this time round. I bet Zelensky won't sign anything until Trump does a u-turn. Zelensky needs to wait 6 months for Europe to ramp up its production. Trump is embattled in trade war with allies and hasn't got 6 months to waste.
shares in European defence industries are at all time high. Today, Eutelsat is up 33%, SES SA another statellite company, is up 18%. TSMC announced a deal to build more fabs in the USA but at the same time, won't transfer their latest technologies to the US fabs, presumably to stop Trump renege on support for Taiwan.
Trump is a histrionic version of truss - zelensky has to play the role of being accomodating, mature for the few months it takes him to tank the us economy the way truss did in the uk
EXCLUSIVE: The Deep State Will Fight Tooth & Nail Over Ukraine, ‘It Is The Seat Of All Evil’ — Money Laundering, USAID Skimming Operations, & Child Sex Trafficking
Roger Stone reveals the two-fold goal of the Ukrainian Impeachment Hoax: to cover up the crimes of the Biden family/Democrats and to frame Trump for wrongdoing in the region -- tune in!
They have to play for time. Putin does not have a reverse gear but Trump usually does U-turns.
In the mean time, Europe needs to convince Trump to sell artillery munitions and starlink satellite service to Zelensky, Europe will pay of course. Trump may be attracted by juicy sales. Over the coming year, Europe will launch new communication satellites to replace starlink over Ukraine and increase supplies of artilleries, thus reduce dependence on Trump.
Trump knows he lies on tariffs. He knows his voters are pretty thick to believe that foreign countries pay his tariffs but sooner or later, Wall Street will force him to back track on tariffs on Canada and Mexico. That will lead to a mid-term paralysed congress which stops Trump changing the constitution to let him run for a third term. In 4 years, Europe should be able to fight Putin without the USA.
There will be no need to. The Ukraine war will have been settled long before and Russia will not start a new war if not provoked to again, and I don't see Europe provoking one, nor Trump.
In 4 years time Europe will be speaking with and trading with Russia.
.
4 years from now? I personally don't see Ukraine be entirely Russian.
Trump may be gone but Putin will still rule Russia if he's still alive.
Who is going to oppose Putin then?
In the meantime, and before the mid term election, Musk and Trump will try to privatise as much of the federal institutions as possible . Musk has an eye on the FAA.
Agreed
4 years from now? I personally don't see Ukraine be entirely Russian. Agreed, most will still be Ukrainian.
Trump may be gone but Putin will still rule Russia if he's still alive. Agreed
Who is going to oppose Putin then? No need, he is not a threat if not deliberately provoked.

Europe will end up with much of the cost, but Russia may contribute as part of a deal they see as favourable to them.
The cost will not be as much as it might seem at present, since many of the huge number of Ukrainians now where they fled too will not return to be re housed and employed.
.
Will Canada and Greenland be 'acquired' by trump? How about the future of the UN?
I've no idea what prompted Trump to say this, perhaps he is becoming envious of the way Russia might gain economically in Ukraine and China might gain from taking Taiwan, so wants to be one of a triumvirate of thieving bullies.
One thing is certain, the USA "acquiring" them would nullify all such accusations against Russia.
Like the old League of Nations pre WW2, they have no useful future. All they've ever achieved is to help the USA make endless trouble for the rest of us.

Edouard de Stoeckl, Russian minister to the United States, negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska. For less than 2 cents an acre, the United States acquired nearly 600,000 square miles.
