Capital projects is not some cunning masterplan of the orange idiot, they've been talked about (and agreed) for ages.
Are you comfortable with that?
I don't really care who rebuilds it, it would be nice if Russia footed the bill though, but that's bit going to happen now.
You are comfortable with there being no Ukraine left to rebuild though, that's where we differ.
I would like to see a negotiated settlement which isn’t so lopsided or restrictive so as to be unsustainable, or likely to cause further misery and suffering for those caught on the wrong side of the conflict. Opposing that kind of settlement simply isn’t the same as actively wanting more death - that’s what negotiation is for.
That woood be great to bypass themThen if Europe has that resolve it can fund the fight without the US

Trump will be 100x better for the USA than Biden ever was, sleepy joe was useless
It's all a mirage, the only thing POTUS is interested in is further enriching a very wealthy minority. Trump is just a lot more overt about it.
I don’t know, any more than you know how the Putin-Trump deal is ever going to work. Again, that’s what negotiation is for. You asked what I wanted to happen - that’s my answer.I thought Zelensky was still saying he would not agree to hand over any land to Russia - I can't see anywhere he has agreed even to cede Crimea - so how is that going to ever work?

It’s cute you think appeasement stops dictators.
The Trump-Putin deal is also irrelevant if it turns out to be an unsustainable fait accompli that doesn’t secure the region’s long-term stability.The Trump Putin deal is irrelevant if Europe and the UK decide they wish to continue to support the war against Russia and supply all the arms required.
Would you want that?
I most certainly would not.
Why are you refusing to actually answer the question I’ve posed?
Also it’s not as if there’s been no precedent for this is there?
I see this is the in word amongst certain people. Was Churchill an appeaser or just pragmatic?
I'll be honest Pete, it sucks for Ukraine but if it means stopping the bloodshed and losing some land, Zelenski needs to take the hit (should have dealt when they were on the front foot, forget the Crimea). The bigger picture for the rest of us is keeping the Yanks in NATO. I hope this is just Trump and his crowd swaggering to get everyone (and rightly without bankrupting ourselves) to stump up a fair share. Rather have Trump and his $trillions of troops and nukes in our corner than relying on ourselves and the French as the ultimate deterrent.That woood be great to bypass them
Trump will be the modern day Chamberlain declaring ‘peace in our time’ just as Putin invades again.I see this is the in word amongst certain people. Was Churchill an appeaser or just pragmatic?
They're going to have to I think. Very little choice to do anything but cede it.I thought Zelensky was still saying he would not agree to hand over any land to Russia - I can't see anywhere he has agreed even to cede Crimea - so how is that going to ever work?
Ah yes Churchill the famed appeaser.
It's strange that some seem disappointed, even angry that for the first time there might be an end to the appalling bloodshed and death.
Yalta?
Perhaps you can do what nobody else here has done when asked and explain how to prevent another invasion to finish the job.It's strange that some seem disappointed, even angry that for the first time there might be an end to the appalling bloodshed and death.
The myth, Russia has the second best military in the world. The reality, Russia has the second best militarily in Ukraine.Fucking hell

US President Trump: I think Putin wants to stop fighting. I see that. They [Russia] have a big, powerful machine, you understand that. They defeated Hitler and they defeated Napoleon. They've been fighting for a long time, they've done it before.bsky.app

I'd love an end to the hideous bloodshed and death.
But it needs to be one that doesn't reward an appalling tyrant and war criminal for trying to usurp a sovereign European government.
Your orange hero is kissing Putin's arse mate, and you're lapping it up because y'know owning the libs is all that matters.
When you get a chance Google "appeasement', and let us know how it worked out later in terms of hideous bloodshed and death.
And quit pretending you give a fuck about it anyway, you're only angry and upset because people are being rude about Trump - you couldn't give a toss about Ukraine.
Good idea for your man to freeze hiring them while trying to force existing ones out of the door then.More about that Washington Helicopter/Plane tragedy. Turns out there is a severe staffing shortage of Air Traffic Controllers and there had been calls to move the Helicopter corridor to a safer area..
The deadly D.C. crash was years in the making - with five close calls in 2024 alone
Complaints about the air space around Reagan, a shortage of air traffic controllers, and communications issues have persisted for years, reports suggestwww.independent.co.uk

Churchill was many things, plenty of them not very good, but an appeaser he was not. Have a look at his 'total and unmitigated defeat' speech if you want his thoughts on appeasement.
I count myself as being more on the right of the political spectrum but the orange balloon is just an absolute fucking idiot.A lot of the "experts" on here, are rather right wing to say the least.
My man?Good idea for your man to freeze hiring them while trying to force existing ones out of the door then.
Yalta?
My man?You are bonkers my lad.
Said many times-let the rest of Ukraine into NATO.If you thought that likely and you were in a senior government position how would you stop it?
