I had repeatedly mentioned how even Russia could be brought to a less hostile position in yet another 'Big Power' deal. So don't be surprised if Trump scales back the Ukraine war--which he was going to do anyway before Oct. 2023 happened--and reward eastern Ukraine to Russia in exchange for some 'concessions' from Russia elsewhere.
In the end, it is ONLY the Islamic World's Street which matters. The rest, the rulers of all countries --with the exception of Iran and its allies -- can be bought off; even the Chinese by giving concession over Taiwan. That's how Big Powers have worked historically.
Earth to, e.g., my progressive friends who refused to support Harris and the voters in Dearborn, MI who voted for Trump or Stein to protest Biden’s backing Netanyahu: Netanyahu plans to annex the West Bank and northern Gaza and Trump is going to let him do it. I think that Trump is going to cut a deal with Vladimir Putin whereby Putin gets a big chunk of Ukraine in return for standing down, and persuading Russia‘s allies to stand down, when Netanyahu makes his move. From Wikipedia: ”Iran and Russia are strategic allies and form an axis in the Caucasus alongside Armenia. Iran and Russia are also military allies in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq and partners in Afghanistan and post-Soviet Central Asia. The Russian Federation is also the chief supplier of arms and weaponry to Iran.” If the Russians are bought off with Ukraine, there is little to stop Netanyahu. We told you so - voting against Harris as a protest against Biden’s policies in Gaza was “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” Now the consequences begin.
