 @hallelbimpong1901 hardy a negotiation. Trump and Biden gave them everything for nothing. Art of the Deal 🙄

This will probably end in a frozen conflict where Ukraine won't have the capability to take Crimea or the Donbas, while Russia won't have the ability to hold any land beyond their 2014 holdings.

Crimea's economy has been in decline since 2014.

@hallelbimpong1901 Ukrainians took a bad deal with the Minsk agreements because they negotiated from a position of weakness. Meanwhile, the US had huge leverage of the Taliban, but Trump and Biden still gave them everything they wanted without anything in return. Basically, Ukrainian should make sure the US stays away from the negotiation process.

@jevgenijs39 Crimea's economy was reliant on foreign tourists and agriculture. The farms died when Ukrainian water supply was cut off and tourism disappeared due to Russian sanctions. Obviously, substituties from Russia's shrinking budget is the only thing keeping the economy afloat.

@NexxtTimeDontMiss Elaborate. *Ukraine is struggling to go south, while the Donbas has been fortifying since 2014 and Crimea is protected be Geography *Russian could barely capture Bakhmut - Ukraine's 59th biggest city.

@alexstanleybruh8919 The major loss of military equipment will degrade both sides ability to take offensive operations. Without tanks or enough artillery shells in stockpile, ceasing fortified positions is untenable.

@404-u5f Crimea had water until Russia blew up the dam that held the water reserve that fed the canal that supplied Crimea.

@404-u5f ...and then Russia blew up the dam, so the water tap could never be turned on again.

@zadovrus1624 Who else could make a dam explode from the inside?

@zadovrus1624 or it just turns into another post-Soviet frozen conflict

@gavasiarobinssson5108 BRICS: *China's economy is like 80% of the association *India doesn't like China *China doesn't like India *South Africa is a failed state *Brazil is negotiating a trade deal with the EU, while no is talking about Russian trade *BICS countries have more trade ties with the West than Russia, and they will always prefer those ties to the Russian basket case.

@mdza Good point. Russian currency is having inflation issues.

@NexxtTimeDontMiss If Ukraine is having difficulty breaking through the defensive lines on land, then how do you think they are going to do an amphibious assault on fortified positions in Crimea without amphibious military equipment?

@jjoohhhnn The F-16 will challenge Russian air supremacy, but people are acting like they are super weapons like the F-22 or F-35. Russian air defenses were designed to take out F-16s back in the cold war, so you won't be seeing the close air support that Americans enjoyed in Iraq. America wouldn't be sending cluster munitions if they weren't desperate to fulfill the rate of fire from Ukrainian artillery. While it is good strategic thinking to degrade Russian forces, voters west of Poland don't see that as good enough reason to spend that kind of money for an extended war.

BS. There isn't a stalemate as the Ukrainians still have the capability to break through Russian lines. Only when both sides offensive capabilities are exhausted should we even talk about a ceasefire.

@FilAnd01 Putin won't consider the possibility he can't win as long as there hope that Trump will return as president and start supporting his BFF Putin.

@mungucitimothy3530 A) The US has never negotiated with ISIS. B) The US has never classified the Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization like it does Al Qaeda and Wagner C) Russia is the terrorist organization who targets civilians and kidnaps children.
