Is this what y'all wanted?
We wanted peace and prosperity. Russia wouldn't allow that so here we are.
So this is what you wanted. You wanted Trump to escalate the war.
You have a better idea?
Putin cannot be reasoned with any more than Trump can. Ukraine has to fight their way out.
Trump is literally doing what you wanted, so it looks like someone reasoned with him.
Nah. Nobody reasoned with him. He just got angry at Putin. He's an animal of instincts and feelings, not one of logic. He does random things. A random decision can sometimes be good, sometimes bad.
You cannot really say anything about the quality of a decision just from it being in the group of "decisions that can also be chosen randomly".
He says he's doing it. For now. We shall see. taco.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is a useful idiot once in a blue moon.
Who is "y'all" and what is "this"?
For me, I want the war to end with Russia leaving Ukraine the hell alone. I'm not an expert on geopilicital military strategy, but it seems like the people fighting for Ukraine want any intel that helps them repel the invasion force. Striking within Russia's borders might force Putin to withdraw and defend his own country rather than murdering civilians in another country.
It might not work. It might ratchet up the violence, and it might result in the suffering and death of innocent people. I don't want that, but I'm not in a position to say that "this" makes that outcome more or less likely.
What is it that you want instead?
