He *should* grab some land via treaty and end the conflict right away.

*He's NOT gonna win. Unless he's willing to go nuclear, this will just continue as a quagmire that enriches Woke Defense companies and America's ruling class, who use it as impetus to offer more protection to sissy Mary 2nd rate Europe.


*If* it's true that Trump can be to some extent - manipulated by praise (which I 100% agree) ---- GIVE TRUMP THIS VICTORY. Again you're gonna end the war one day anyway.....why not give Trumpy a bone, and in return..... the President of the United States seriously owes you one.


*Not only does it curry favor with Trump, but also - it helps silence the Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld Liberals. People like Bolton and so many Warhawk Never-Trumpers. It weakens them just a bit - - something that certainly isn't a bad thing for Putin.


Extra credit for Putin: Refer to Russia as the Soviet Union. More Club 401K'ers will be nostalgic for the ol' days when they sympathized with the Soviets and saw them as political kin.
