What next for Ukraine? Trump's return could redefine the war • FRANCE 24 English

[@markrittman2437]

Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard is a decorated Iraq War veteran, a former congresswoman who served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a former vice-chair of the Democratic Party, a former presidential candidate, and a political and foreign relations commentator. She is hardly a neophyte. Ms. Shapochkina should be aware of the qualifications of the person she is criticizing.

[@fulltank360]

The channel deliberately bring many woke people who are living in Utopia....

[@MikeMike-cc4jk]

And against the backdrop of the fact that a living cognitive corpse sat in the White House for 4 years and a bunch of his nominations were without qualifications but only with the right skin color or gender orientation, the objections are doubly comical. As a former driver for a few months, but lgbt, became “Secretary of Transportation”, and I'm even afraid to write here about trans Admiral and others.

[@thefirst-yb8sj]

The Russians won't be forced to negotiate, a winning side is never forced to, Russia isn't fighting a media war. The Ukrainians and West are fighting a media war while Russia fights on the battle field.

[@timosullivan5722]

The Ukrainians are on the battlefield also and the russian army can testify to that given the amount of soldiers they are loosing.

[@TheLivingTissue]

Well said

[@zallyzally2698]

Sometimes I just laughed out loud, they always assume one sided

[@dipin2]

The looser is undoubtedly Ukraine. They lost men, land, economy. If they had stayed neutral no war would have happened. The main culprit is Zelenski.

[@Alex-f3m4t]

The loser against EU/US conflict is EU. Ukraine is a puck and Russia is a stick. They can't win or loose.

NATO is the ultimate loser in this war 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tkrdg7885]

Apparently NATO has done far from enough to support Ukraine defending Russian invasion,

[@jeannettejordan7104]

If you are going to have a serious discussion about what the US might do, you should have some commentators who actually know the people involved rather than people who are just having an emotional breakdown because their favorite candidate didn’t win. Make a serious effort to understand American point of view. Pete has 2 bronze stars from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He understands the fighting soldiers point of view, also Tulsi Gabbard, not just some desk jockey or liberal commentator.

[@bunyip7343]

Pete Hegseth understands the requirements of a platoon leader at O1-O2 level... it is a big stretch to think that this prepares someone to lead and control the entire US military, procurements and bureaucracy. Tulsi Gabbard has changed her view points so many times over the years it is hard to understand what she really believes. Her latest swing to Trump smells like a grab for fame and power.

[@thankqwerty]

Whenever I see the "you have to understand the people" I read that as an excuse for bad decision.

[@roninoscuro9087]

The American point of view is better understood than you think. The perpetual wars feed the U.S. arms industry. The U.S. arms exports constitute 42% of all arms exports in the world. By comparison, in 2023, Buick sold one car in Spain...one. Boeing continues to lose its market share to Airbus. No U.S. exports are as lucrative as the exports of weapons. Poland is buying a lot of American military hardware. But the Poles are also being from South Korea and that is frowned upon in the U.S. With the apparent supremacy comes the privilege of having the world's primary reserve currency. The Americans have an absolute right to stop leading and walk the path of isolation. However, they will not have their cake and be able to eat it too.

[@Abebe345]

@@bunyip7343 he's a Harvard and Princeton grad, twenty years of service, bronze stars. Ludicrous to think he doesn't understand the military inside out.

All Ukraine had to do was stay neutral and not cozy up to NATO.

[@orangebeetle1999]

Eastern European Soviet equipment was replaced with the PROMISE of new equipment! Why do you think Poland is buying from South Korea?! Because the US would ask for the money upfront, and you wait 5 to 10 years for the equipment.

[@guri699]

Alright so Russia is conceding forward and Ukraine is winning backwards. Being at disadvantage of having more power 10/1 Russia is losing more soldiers than Ukraine. Got it.

This will end with Russia keeping 20% of Ukraine and Ukraine not eligible for NATO membership for 20 years. Other than this, I dont see why Russia would consider stopping their advance.

[@jamesmiller2735]

How much longer can Ukraine last? Because the number of those who are condemned to life imprisonment in most Western countries is rapidly dwindling,and we are not sure that ordinary people in most of these countries will be willing to sacrifice themselves for Ukraine.So where does Ukraine go from here.

[@AbdirashidAbdirahman-f3w]

It's easy let Zelensky sit and talk peace although I am sure that would have been more ideal before Feb 2022 when NATO rebuffed it,but even now peace deals can be made.and let's be honest this fight is between US and Russia,if they are sincere they can make peace,if tomorrow Zelensky is told you are not getting any more weapons he will be willing to come to the negotiation tables and listen, but until then it's just wasting time.

[@letsroll2001]

The French have been all talk. They do little to nothing to reinforce Ukraine. They need to increase their military budget to 4% of GDP and follow the example of Poland in defending Ukraine.

[@EricEs-f6o]

France spends more money than Poland on defence. Those 3.9 % are spread for a 2.5 year defence budget. In real terms Poland will be spending less than 2% every year. If you calculate what actually was delivered from contracts Poland spent very little. Pure creative accountancy.

People seem to forget that the Land that Russia is taken from Ukraine has 80% of the natural resources of the country. Lithium reserves (Value at 70 billions dollars), coal, and Specially rare earth materials. Although the situation for Ukraine at the battlefield it is very difficult, Russia knows that their loses are astronomical and unsustainable and that's why it is trying to take the most land as soon as possible. Russian economists are warning Putin that it the war continues as it is by the Summer of 2025 the Russian economy will completely collapse. By the way, the European Union with its PIB of 17 trillion dollars + the UK 4 trillion dollars PIB have a lot more financial resources than the Russian Federation slightly bigger than Italy's PIB economy. We can't also forget the 260 billion dollars that the European Union has in Russian frozen assets that it could be easily used to finance the war.

what i find intresting is that alot of people who have had important parts when it comes to NATO and are generally all critical of how NATO allies including USA has behaved so far regarding Ukraine Including Former Secretary Genral of NATO Stoltenberg and alot of high ranking Officers of G.B And Security Analists who has had correct assesments of the War in general are actually usually somewhat psoitive or atleast not negative regarding the new Administration. This means that there was a high probablity that there was issues with the current Administration of USA and Other Political Leaders in Europa that have had a possibility to put brakes on others regarding aid to Ukraine. Hopefully this new administration of USA will force more Western NATO nations to follow in the footsteps of us in the Northern and Baltic Area of NATO and hopefully a STOP of USA leaderships Blocking of other nations Sending Modern systems to Ukraine.
