Summary

Donald Trump’s advisers are proposing plans to end the Ukraine war that involve territorial concessions to Russia and ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine.

These proposals aim to pressure both sides into negotiations, leveraging military aid as a carrot or stick. Plans include freezing current battle lines or creating demilitarized zones.

Analysts doubt the feasibility, citing likely resistance from Ukraine, European allies, and U.S. lawmakers.

Trump’s approach reflects his campaign pledge to resolve the conflict quickly, but critics argue it risks legitimizing Russian aggression and undermining Western alliances.

    That’s true in every war ever. Still, Ukraine is a sovereign nation. The Russian talking point that “The West” is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian man is nonsense.
    Ukraine is fighting, and the Ukrainian government decides how long.

          Russia being shit doesn’t make the other country run by a billionaire who sold its state assets for pennies on the dollar and sent an entire generation to die in a meatgrinder good.

          That war (between capitalist powers) is bad for the people and good for oligarchs shouldn’t be a controversial take.
