fair enough, That is what I am hoping for as well. I have always stated that it is not going to change much, but Trump will at least stall things for the moment hopefully and allow 4 years of intense diplomacy all sides to prevent a potential catastrophe.
He has that tiny chance to achieve that , the Dems have literally zero chance. Dems and Neo Cons out for blood and complete domination.

Senior US defense officials apparently believe Ukraine can absorb its current losses for ~6-12 months before the manpower issue is unsustainable. Russia continues to recruit 25k-30k per month without general mobilization. Ukraine is on track to lose the war.

If this is all true, this should be seen as the Biden/Harris admin's greatest failure. The sacrifices made to try and prevent it were staggering. Most notably to me, the devaluing of the USD through over-weaponizing of the currency, and the loss of a major source of raw resources as a trading partner. And Russia, while losing shit loads of men and material, gained a generation's worth of battle experience, and the most valuable and productive territory in Ukraine, leaving the rest as a rump state that dare not join NATO. We just fed our enemy so much XP, and for nothing. Only because the Western media is so controlled this won't be talked about as Biden/Harris's grand failure 50 years from now.

You forgot Afghanistan.... weaponizing the USD....Gaza conflict.

So many more failures...illegal immigrants...

But the greatest failure of all time is pushing Iran, Russia and China together.
Giving an ultimatum to the world at large either you are with us or against us.

Threatening India and chastising India about their treatment of Muslims and lo and behold after 6 to 7 months when Blinken who has some huge balls criticize India, in India, infront of their official national media besides Jaishankar, the Gaza conflict start.

And even up till now criticize and cajole the West to sanction China on Xinjiang when they KNOW those are salafist extreme fundamentals which was destabilizing that region which CIA operatives created.

While being complicit in the rampage in Gaza with over 30k woman and children and elderly Pepsi.

Tell me how fucked up it is.

:rofl:
