The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread


Putin has no reason to acquiesce at this point. Having made zero concessions, he has been rewarded with a grand summit in Alaska, the dropping of a demand by Trump to sign onto a ceasefire before peace talks, and the crumbling of all sanctions ultimatums to date. Having slightly dialed down the scale of nightly drone attacks on Ukrainian cities so far in August, Russia ramped them up again Monday night, firing 270 drones and 10 missiles. If Trump’s pressure on Zelensky hasn’t yet yielded the results Moscow wants, there’s always military force to fall back on.

The only wild card for Russia at this point is who Trump will blame when this latest peace effort fails.

He doesn't blame really anymore, he just ignores it like it wasn't mentioned at all

Trump: "great peace summit, I'm the best deal maker ever, big win for me and for Ukraine but mostly for me"
Anyone with a brain: "you didn't get anything done, there is no deal, Putin is getting everything he wants, Ukraine is losing everything"
Trump: "yep, best deal ever, biggest win for Ukraine and for me, no one could have done a deal this big and this great. Biggest win"

Wash, rinse, and repeat. Then as soon as Trump's 2nd assertion is pronounced, his cult picks it up, and that's all they care about. So he doesn't even need blame at all, just speaks the falsehood into existence. That's all it takes. The verbal equivalent of drawing the path of the hurricane with a sharpie.

Yeah, I’ve long described Trump as simply talking his reality into existence. How he actually pulled it off will be studied for years. That’s in a rational future, where we emerge from a fascist ****show somehow. In a Trumpian future, a Project 2025 America future, statues everywhere, lol. To be torn down by future patriotic mobs. Maybe.

In the meantime, not sure if this has been posted, but he’s written a new chapter:

The verbal equivalent to saying he had no business in Russia when Michael Cohen was actively working on a trump tower deal in Moscow. The verbal equivalent to stopping the tests so that covid infection numbers would go down. The verbal equivalent to stopping the election ballot counting to keep from losing an election. The verbal equivalent to firing the head of labor statistics when the job numbers weren’t what he liked.

It’s the same damn thing over and over and over again. Yet so many Americans are bored, ripe with tribalism, and aggrieved that they keep falling for it because he preys on their prejudices.

**** Trump.

And **** those who voted for him.

This is utterly pathetic. So predictable. And just so shallow. So easily bought off.

President Donald Trump on Friday showed off a photograph he said Russian President Vladimir Putin sent him of them standing side by side a week ago in Alaska.

Trump brandished the picture in the Oval Office as he announced the 2026 World Cup draw will be hosted in Washington at the Kennedy Center.

"I was just sent a picture from somebody that wants to be there very badly," Trump said. "He's been very respectful of me and of our country, but not so respectful of others."

"I'm going to sign this for him. But I was sent one, and I thought you'd like to see it," Trump continued. "That's a man named Vladimir Putin who I believe will be coming depending on what happens. He may be coming and he may not, depending on what happens. We have a lot of things happening over the next couple of weeks."

"But I thought it was a nice picture of him. Okay of me, but nice of him. So, that was very nice that it was sent to me," Trump added.

The White House is pressuring Ukraine to sign on to its new peace proposal by Thanksgiving or lose U.S. support to the country, according to two officials familiar with the talks, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive diplomatic discussions.

U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll presented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday with a version of the 28-point plan President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff recently drafted with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.

That plan, which has been leaked in the press and confirmed by several officials, included several red lines for Ukraine, including a massive reduction of its army size and ceding territory to Russia that it has not yet conquered militarily.

Although Trump has drawn down direct aid to Ukraine, the U.S. has brokered deals for Ukraine to receive U.S. weapons through European partners and continues to share intelligence that is crucial to Ukraine’s survival on the battlefield.

The U.S. is now sending “signals” that everything could be off the table if Kyiv does not quickly sign a proposal, the officials said, even as Driscoll took a lighter tone in Thursday’s meeting.

In summary: trump and a russian came up with a plan that involves ukraine decreasing the size of their military and hindering their ability to defend themselves AND giving russia even more ukrainian land than russia has already stolen.
Then they give ukraine a fast approaching deadline to take the horribly lopsided favoring russia peace deal or else.

Yep. Krasnov is pretty predictable with his support of Putin.

Russia dangling $100,000,000,000 'carrot' as payoff to Trump

Vladimir Putin is dangling a $100,000,000,000 'carrot' as payoff to Donald Trump for putting pressure on Ukraine to accept the 'peace agreement'.
metro.co.uk metro.co.uk

No further Nato expansion. Occupied Ukrainian territory recognised as Russian, including by the US. No prosecution for Russia for war crimes.

These are some of the clauses – part of a ‘surrender document’, brokered by Donald Trump – that Ukraine is facing after almost four years of war.

Buried in the middle of the 28-point ‘peace blueprint’ being hammered out between the US and Russia, clause 14 stands out like a flashing sign.

It offers up $100 billion in frozen Russian assets – repackaged as a fund for reconstruction, with the US pocketing half the profits.

Meanwhile, Russia would be granted around two-thirds of the $300 billion of sovereign assets frozen in Europe.

Keir Giles, a Russia expert at Chatham House, told Metro this is a ‘payoff’ for the Trump administration.

He said: ‘You can see why that would appeal to the US. Effectively, Russiais saying, “we have given up on these frozen funds already, why don’t you help yourself to it”.

‘The terms on reallocation present a carrot dangled in front of the Trump administration to encourage them towards enforcement of the agreement on Ukraine.’

Wow.
The corruption and greed runs deep in the trump admin.
 
I'm surprised there isn't a clause in that deal that allows Trump and Putin to **** Zelenky's wife while he has to watch, because it already amounts to them ****ing Zelensky.

Why would a peace treaty give the aggressor more land than they are able to capture through military action? Russia is gaining a couple kilometers a year, and that's been their pace for the last several years now. Occasionally they capture a cow pasture or small village, but big pushes and capturing major cities is a thing of the past. Not only that but Russia's economy is suffering and the people of Moscow are starting to feel the pain with massive fuel shortages that Putin can no longer keep out in the country so that his base of support is able to think all is well.

Neither side has any momentum, really, but conditions right now are worse for Russia. I know the Ukrainians are tired of this war but they are the innocent victims of this. Nothing Ukraine has done justifies any of Russia's actions.
