My theses about the Rashist War against Ukraine following Trump's election.

About Trump:

1. Trump has no plan whatsoever to stop the war.
2. All of Trump's pre-election bragging was utterly irresponsible boasting.
3. Trump has only "carrots" for Putin and exclusively "sticks" for Zelensky.
4. Trump is a hardened cynic and a spineless demagogue.
Is there hope?
Yes, I like to say that hope, as the ultimate fool, dies last.
And my father used to say that nothing is ever as bad as it seems, though it’s also never as good as we’d like it to be.

1. The West still possesses reason and an instinct for self-preservation.
2. In the USA, despite Trump’s attempts to establish total control over all branches and structures of power, there remain mechanisms for restraint, oversight, and even for reining in this brutal and mentally impaired populist.
3. In Putin's Russia, destructive processes in the economy, finance, industry, and trade are gathering strength and momentum. These processes erode the regime's ability to govern society and could lead to either an implosion from within or a collapse triggered from the outside, with a genuine risk of this monstrous state falling apart.
4. Ukraine's blood is flowing, but Ukraine is alive, do not rush to write it off and bury it. As a friend of mine of nearly 50 years in Kharkiv told me - Even when our hearts stop, we continue to be alive and fight for our children, for Ukraine, for Europe, for the West!
