Trump’s aid to Ukraine was about restoring deterrence and countering Obama’s failure, not engaging in the unchecked financial drain we see today. He gave aid under conditions and scrutiny, whereas Biden opened the floodgates with zero accountability. To equate the two ignores the fundamental differences in their strategies.

Trump claims he will "end the war on day 1" and "it will be so easy" and the reason it wasn't ended in one day is because "Biden is stupid" but Trump is so smart and Putin likes him and will listen to him.

Well, Trump has already spoken to Putin. Why isn't the war over?

The war was started unilaterally, by Putin. Trump doesn't need to convince Zelensky to end the war. There is no deal to be made with Zelensky. There is only a negotiation with Russia to stop or Russia needs to be afraid of the consequences if they don't stop. But Trump has shown Russia who's side he is on and that there will be no consequences for Russia to continue.

Trump plays a game where heads I win, tails you lose. No matter the outcome, he will claim it is what he wanted and that it proves he was right. He doesn't stick to a position because he has no position. He simply wants to be perceived as a winner and a dealmaker. The substance of the deal is irrelevant. And sadly, most of his followers don't care about the substance either and blindly follow the conman where he leads them.

Simple. The war isn’t over because Zelensky doesn’t want it to be over.

who started the war?

you need to do a little thinking for yourself. if i come invade your house and take over your living room and then say, well its my living room. if you want peace, fuck off and agree its my living room. i will live here forever in your living room now.

if you say no and fight me and say get the fuck out of my living room, then it is "you not wanting the war to be over" and you're the bad guy?

come on man.
