I would have been interested to hear Trump's answer to the question put to him but he simply evaded it and rambled on talking so in the end I switched the video off.
Thoughts?

I hope this is not what happens but I expect it will. I gather that the biggest supply of recruits for Russia are men from the poorer parts of the country. High losses from those areas do not seem to register with the Russian population as much as losses from the richer areas would.View attachment 69092 For Ukraine and Russia, a Deadly Summer Lies Ahead With Little Hope of Big Gains
Thousands likely to die as warring forces seek openings along a largely static front line

If reported numbers of Russian daily losses are anywhere near accurate (1,000+ per day), Russia looks set to lose many tens of thousands more men during the summer months. All for what? A marginal increase in the Ukrainian territory held by Russia. This World War One approach of gaining a few destroyed villages or losing them at the cost of thousands of men's lives is grotesque in the extreme. I hope that the deepening economic and financial problems affecting Russia will force Putin to rein back on offensive activities, so reducing loss of life from present levels.
I hear that the US is tightening sanctions on banks, making it even more difficult for Russia to trade internationally than it is now. The threat of sanctions against countries importing goods and re-exporting them to Russia may also impact Russia's production of more sophisticated weapons.

I am predicting the war will probably be over before January 20. I don't think Zelensky wants Trump to work with him and Putin where the next peace plans screws Ukraine over than what Biden's administration might set up with him and Putin. Coming to no agreements Trump is very likely to cut the billion dollars of aid making negotiations more tougher and tougher.
Indeed, no 'reliable' data on Ukrainian losses. Are Russian losses roughly correct? I do not know but I see trends in the numbers reported and they seem to be high at the moment. If, for example, one month Russian losses are reported as 500 per day and the next month they are reported as 1,000 per day, I see them as having got much worse (whatever the real numbers are).Reported number of Ukranian daily losses are even worse than that, do you believe that too? Which is correct? Is any of if correct?
"Russian MoD reporting 2025 Ukrainian casualties over the past 24 hours."
