Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

At this point a Trump win is pretty much Putin's only chance of a positive outcome for Russia in Ukraine. No wonder the fuckers are all panicked.
How many days after Trump loses do you think it will take them to pull out of Ukraine? Or will it be flash in the pan assault, mission accomplished but not really, demilitarized zone kind of ending?
Definitely the second.
The war has been going long enough that Russia's economy has retooled for wartime production. They are propping GDP up by spending oil revenues on war production and maintaining consumer confidence through their continuous propaganda, to pull that prop suddenly would likely result in a massive economic collapse.
Putin has no other option but to keep going at this point. So they'll be throwing meat waves into the grinder until they finally run out of meat.
That depends on if the dems take the house. At least the degree of where the lines get drawn in the end will.
How would Putin not get a positive outcome in Ukraine do you reckon?
The US will keep helping Ukraine. Trump will bend over and withdraw support from Ukraine and "let Russia do whatever the hell they want."
If the US keep supporting Ukraine, they're is no way Russia can win.
But in fact the USA has given them uninterrupted support for 2½ years and Russia is winning.

What universe is that in?
USSR propaganda universe
USSR has been gone for 30 years.
“The war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore, but the White House and the American media have to keep the lie going,“ a senior US intel official told Hersh. “The truth is if the Ukrainian army is ordered to continue the offensive, the army would mutiny. The soldiers aren’t willing to die any more, but this doesn’t fit the B.S. that is being authored by the Biden White House.”
All the extra countries signing up for NATO because of Putins "Military exercise"
