To the Editor:
Trump’s latest 28-point plan to end the Ukraine debacle had been rejected by Zelensky and the European war mongers.
The biggest sticking points are Europe refuses to cede territory, rejects Ukraine not joining any military alliances and refuses to reduce its military size and long-range weapons that Trump had outlined.
The pundits and those that seek more war including the vast majority of the Western press have called Trump’s 28-point plan, Putin’s plan and other nonsense.
The fact is Russia is winning on the battlefield, the war mappers using geolocated footage have been showing this for some time. Facts do not lie, nor is the geolocated footage fabricated.
Just this past week, fortified cities of Kupyansk and Pokrovsky have fallen to Russian control, and others face similar fate. Ukraine cannot hold the lines anymore; Russia is moving all along the 1,200 km front.
So, where do we go from here? Will Trump deny Ukraine intel and weapons as he promised, or will Europe with the Ukraine regime escalate to the point we face Russia in a nuclear standoff?
Bottom line is this, since when does the losers get to dictate the terms.
We started this war by removing democracy to install our loyal puppet back in 2014. The mission all along was to attack Russian nationals, their culture, religion and language like we are seeing today to drag Russia into an Afghan type quagmire and defeat them.
We failed, and Russia has won.
