It's clear that the situation in Vuhledar is critical, and we are likely witnessing the final stages of its defense, which has lasted nearly 3 years. I can only hope that the right orders have been given, prioritizing the lives of soldiers over any desire to hold the ground

Trump, once again, is trashing President Zelensky, blames the US for Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and suggests Ukraine must surrender because Russia always wins wars: “That’s what they do. They fight wars”

— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) September 24, 2024

Trump mocks President Zelensky “Every time he comes into the country he walks away with $60 billion dollars" and says he’ll immediately end the war if he wins:
“I’ll call up Zelensky & President Putin”

(Notice he only refers to Putin as “president”)

Like the deal @realDonaldTrump made with the Taliban, getting 5,000 terrorists released. Like the deal he made with China… tariffs driving inflation. The only thing Trump knows is the art of the steal. @KamalaHarris would rather have Ukraine as a friend. Trump prefers Putin and… https://t.co/EiLBZZlc13

There is no doubt. Trump would surrender Ukraine to Putin in a heartbeat.

That will signal weakness to Russia and China. https://t.co/Ep1JNCoTfF

Unless against disarmed civilians or very small countries ... or unless backed by massive amounts of US aid ... Russian wars tend to end badly for the Russian state.

In my opinion, bilateral security guarantees, similar to those with South Korea, with countries like the UK or the US, with detailed agreements could serve as a realistic alternative to NATO. Yes, it won’t be easy, but it may be a more realistic option than NATO membership https://t.co/fq5lmQVETa

A column of Russian vehicles stopped on the side of the road. Seizing the opportunity, Ukrainian pilots reminded them of basic military logistics: never stop a convoy mid-route and always spread out your equipment.

And even then when they only go against very small countries, they still lose. Chechen wars, anyone?

The fact that Ukraine even just still exists disproves the narrative already. Because if it were true, they would have long beaten Ukraine by now, even with western help. In fact, they would have beaten Ukraine before much western help could have arrived in the first place. That they didn't just shows that the Russian army is a paper Tiger and too weak and too corrupt to win wars anymore, even against foes that were already on their knees.
