Sorry… master Timmy busy coloring a mandala.
Look at this prediction for how lost the left are.. who by the way have clearly embraced the 'endless war/death' neocons into their fold as though they were never anything disparate.

Ukraine bound?
I'm hoping they're readying for DS players takedown and arrests.. .
Let's be clear. The only reason at all that Ukraine is getting anything is because Trump still (mistakenly, IMO) believes that Ukraine having weapons and being bloodthirsty sociopaths who constantly attack Russia gives him leverage over Putin. He thinks he can offer to stop it and get Putin to give concessions. He's trying to create leverage out of nothing in hopes of getting something other than total surrender of his position.
Putin controls all the cards here, as Trump angrily told Zelensky. Putin knows it which is why he's moving very slowly and deliberately while not missing a beat on the battlefield. He's rolling up the rest of the remaining territory in the four annexed regions. He has cleaned out Kursk. He's cleaning out Ukraine's latest adventure into Belgorod. He just bombed a whole mess of supplies from the EU that were sitting in Odessa overnight. Putin's still running his attrition warfare machine slowly and surely. He's still got a massive army in Belarus threatening Ukraine and another threatening Western Ukraine and Lvov. None of it's moving forward, but none of it is being pulled back as a threat either, and Russia still has its forward nukes in Belarus as well. Nothing's changed on the battlefield. Putin's telling Trump to take as long as he needs, but his position is not negotiable: meet Russia's conditions or the war doesn't end.
Trump seems to understand the purpose of these roles better than most. He's got people in who'll make the key decisions, but more importantly, they're extroverted people who love to get out and inspire the people working for them. There's a bit of showmanship and partying that's phenomenal for bridging the gap between the workers and management that so often leads to resentment and insubordination. Trump picked these people for a reason.
