    Trump doesn’t want peace. He’s a narcissistic wannabe oligarch who licks the boots and sucks the toes of people he perceives as powerful.

    Whatever momentary “peace” comes out of his hypothetical second term is a consequence of dropping any and all support for Ukraine and backing away from defense treaties. He can and will give a plausibly-deniable green light for Russia to do whatever they see fit to “end” the war and annex neighboring countries. That’s not peace—that’s the setup for decades of violent revolutions with even more violent responses.

    Russia is only side in this war that has ever offered reasonable peace.

    Right, so: if I mugged someone and stabbed them, then offered to not stab them again if they let me keep their wallet and threw in their car keys as well, that’s peace?

      Ukraine can get the same peace deal they signed at start of war, and were told prior to war. Just with less land than they used to have. It is inhumane to let the nazis have control over regions they hate anyway, and everyone is better off for ending the evil. That Trump/Russia would ally to take more of Europe is a far fetched fearmongering experiment that justified Ukraine’s puppet provocation for the war.

      Trump paid to lick Netanyahu’s toes is a real concern. Doing the right thing on Ukraine peace enables more stupidity elsewhere in the world.
