Collins and co shouldn't have signed it until they got the ok from Dev, the Brits took a hand of them.

Replying To TheClareKid:  "The President of Finland seems to disagree with your expert opinion. Finnish President Alex Stubb: "I think in the past two weeks, we've probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three and a half years.""
That's all thanks to Trump and the fact that the Ukrainians know they are whipped, and in what way is that disagreeing with my opinion anyway?

Replying To jm25:  "Really wonder what were USA and the big euro countries doing in 2021/22 to let this happen it wasn't like the Russian invasion happened overnight a lot asleep at wheel"
Both trying to recover after COVID. EU also busy with Brexit even into 2021 along with migration. US preoccupied with the South China Sea area.

Replying To cuttothebone:  "There's a serious deficit in knowledge of Russia's circumtances by a lot of people as is seen by this post. Their economy is tiny in comparison to the EU or US or any of the bigger nations. Its smaller than Spains, and its on its knees already.
If the US had someone competent in charge and issued proper santions as well, like they pathetically treathened, Russia's economy would collapes in weeks.
But unfortunately it wont happen, its almost like Putin has something that keeps Trump under his tumb, i wonder what that could be?
On a completely different subject, its all gone very quiet in the media this week regards the whole Eptein affair, isnt it?

On top of all that Russsia are losing allies, Iran wont be in a rush to help in future thats for sure. North Korea sent men to bolster numbers and they were sent poorly trained to the front line and became cannon fooder. Not to mention war fatigue putting on pressure at home.
Make no mistake, Zelensky has played a blinder dealing with Putin on one side and an idiot on the other, Russia is also under enormous pressure, but for now at least Putin has Trump sitting on his lap."
Trump wants to weaken China and draw Russia towards America. he doesn't really care about Ukraine as long as he weakens China.
North Korea not anly sending troops, they're also sending workers to Russia to prop up the economy. A few have escaped as they were basically being used as Russian slaves.

If the Ukrainians thought they were whipped the war would be over. It's a war noone is going to win one the field of battle. Even if Russia occupied the whole of the Ukraine it would cost them more than their economy is worth to try to hang onto it.
