From the very beginning we've know that the war in Ukraine would turn on not just battlefield outcomes and bravery, but policy decisions made in foreign capitals.

With the election of Donald Trump, it's clear that US policy in Ukraine is about to shift. What is less clear is how and what the results will be.

And so today we discuss the closing moves of the Biden presidency and what some of the objectives and challenges might be for the Trump administration regarding Ukraine in 2025.

One can always hope that Ukraine appeals to Trump’s ego. “You know that enormous bomb, the biggest non-nuclear one in the world? Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if you let us drop it? Everyone would think you’re a super tough guy.”

I am genuinely hoping that Trump's ego pushes him to end the war on Ukraine's terms by massively tipping the scales in their favour.

I know many republicans are eastward facing as the main threat but a destabilised Europe would make any other conflict so much harder to deal with and everyone knows China is looking at Ukraine to see how quickly they can push for Taiwan.

Dealing with weaker men like Biden has made Putin forget his place. We shouldn't be wasting time talking and wringing our hands wondering what he will do. He should be worried about what we will do. See his mouthpieces threatening the destruction of the US on state tv? Now that we have a strong leader like you stepping into the white house he wouldn't dare allow such a statement to air.

The only thing strong about Trump is the smell coming from his diapers.

Well yes but if you want US weapons I would maybe avoid leading with that

A good point, probably not the best way to get his attention in that scenario. I guess international diplomacy does mean you have to hold your nose sometimes…
