  1. [[No paywall]](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/features/2024-11-11/trump-s-ukraine-peace-plan-will-need-a-lot-of-preparatory-work) from Bloomberg Opinion columnist Marc Champion:

    Donald Trump says he can end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a day, and he’ll soon be in the White House to prove it.

    It isn’t impossible, it just depends on which day. But short of capitulating to Moscow, the dramatic resolution he wants is conceivable only if he starts laying groundwork now and drops his fanboy approach to Vladimir Putin.

    All the incoming president needs to do is hold tight while he develops a clear plan to help stabilize the front, encourage Europe to overmatch the US effort and project a message of strength and commitment that his friend in the Kremlin takes seriously.

    It’s up to him. The Kremlin, Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang and US allies around the world will be watching his every move.

  2. Are we still doing Trump fanfic where we start with the premise that Trump is completely different from who he is, then go through steps that he will never even consider, and come up with an outcome that would be good for most people but is different from what Trump has explicitly said he wants?

  4. Considering that Iran made an attempt on his life, and Iran is part of Putin’s war efforts; Trump may see the situation from a, “friend of my enemy, is my enemy” stance.

    Despite Trump’s admiration for Putin and other dictators; a less hyperbolic position to take would be that Trump is likely to aid Ukraine, as a direct result of CRINK activities.

    But only time will tell in this season of the S* Show.

  5. Putin has North Korean troops, Chinese money, and military equipment from both countries funding his war. Ukraine has the US and most of Europe. Trump will withdraw from funding Ukraine (his America First priorities demand that). That will force Ukraine to try for peace with Russia by giving up at least the land Russia has taken so far. I don’t see any way that this is good for Ukraine.

  6. But he’s going to be because he’s a dyed in the wool hubristic and narcissistic traitor who is a tool for those that got him into power.

    He just doesn’t realize any of that.

  7. He doesn’t have to, but he will. He has started already.
