I saw the quote about the end being far away. Did not see anything about Americans fighting in Ukraine. Do you have a link?

Zelenskyy: “As it regards to my resignation...To change me, it will not be easy because it is not enough to simply hold elections… You'll have to negotiate with me. I'm exchangeable for NATO membership.”
Did Madison suspend elections when the Brits were on US soil? Did Lincoln suspend elections during the Civil War in 1864?
I’m about sick and damned tired of the little comedian
Who is telling him we would ever do that? Ukraine at war with Russia is not going to outlast the 47 admin and Trump isn't sending troops to Ukraine to fight Russia.
So are the vast majority of Ukrainians. His poll numbers are lower than the US Democrats are currently.
Not so fast. Lincoln had no choice because Congress wasn't in session (otherwise they would have voted on it) and Maryland was actively blocking northern access to Washington. Maryland was basically functioning on behalf of the Confederate states so asking them to arrest and try terrorists was a non-starter.
Many MAGAs were saying the tariffs were just Trump posturing for better trade deals.
Guess not. Economy could be in for a very rough ride with inflation and a recession.
Lincoln did not believe he needed Congress to take action. He felt that the action was totally within his scope as president.

Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and several petty Dictators we can name, none of them would be considered normal by rational historians !
My Dad was a scholar of Russia AND Far Eastern History !
He was awarded his Master's Degree at Harvard in those disciplines.
But he was best known for grabbing the pony tail and seat of a jean wearing student and tossing him down the steps outside the Harvard Library !
He had dress standards from his time at Manlius. The week before I was to leave for UNC he took me to the Men's Shop at the Hotel Syracuse to properly attire me for college. That included 2 Harris Tweed herringbone jackets, a Navy blazer, 5 pairs of gray flannel pants, several Rep ties, and some Oxford cloth button down white dress shirts.
To this day I have never owned a pair of blue jeans !

Liberal Delusions Won’t Save Ukraine
For some liberals, Donald Trump’s decision to humiliate Volodymyr Zelensky showed that he’s a Russian stooge. But Trump’s crudeness is just a more striking illustration that Ukraine’s future is subject to US realpolitik.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and three smaller cryptocurrencies: XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
Trump says he's considering these 5 cryptocurrencies for new U.S. "strategic reserve"
The president said he ordered a working group to move forward with the crypto reserve, which will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana and Cardano.www.cbsnews.com
Ha, I own some of each on that list.

Oh Jeff, the ability to follow through is necessary in order for the threat to be credible. If Canada and Mexico want to FAFO, that is their option.
Have you ever walked out of a car dealer or any other form of negotiation?
Check out the Pratt Street riot of April 19, 1861. Any Union troop coming from the north to the south had to change trains in Baltimore. To get to the DC train, they had to walk a couple of miles through a hostile city. Not good.
However, I will say I feel pretty great about Trump right now since you also appear to have extreme disdain for President Lincoln. In contrast, Biden & Harris were worthy of your vote. I'll take Team Lincoln.
Lincoln was the best president in the history of the US. Complete opposite of Trump in almost every way.
The big question all along is figuring out how Ukraine thinks it can win this war, assuming Russia isn't going to just pick up their marbles and go home. Right here, Zelensky is telling us how he plans to win. It's nothing more than making the Ukraine/Russia war a US/EU/Ukraine vs Russia war. It's not going to happen.
Actually quite similar. Lincoln was elected during peacetime and was welcomed with a declaration of succession thanks to his predecessor. In a similar manner, Trump's predecessor (Biden - your guy) left him with a war intended to lead to WW3. Great presidents solve these problems. Trump will get it done despite Western war-mongers like you.
Listen Jeff, I don't expect you to recognize modern-day greatness given your votes for Mitt, Hillary, Joe, and Kamala. The world has passed you by and the people who are most enthusiastic for Trump are under 40 years old. SIXTY percent of those under 40 approve of President Donald J. Trump. They don't want to die in a war for Democrat dinosaurs. They just don't. And they want a great economy since their careers are at stake. For those who truly have long-term skin in the game, Donald J. Trump is clearly popular.
Maybe those posters now want to give CREDIT to Donald J. Trump for insuring the demise of that horrid bill.
