One more time, with feeling.

Zelensky lacks
-The dudes
-The guns
-The money

...to push Putin out<?i>

One more time - Russia obviously didn't have the dudes, the guns, the money to take Kyiv like Putin wanted. He's draining the sovereign wealth fund and by the end of 2025 things will start looking bleak for him, so he wants to make a settlement, but he needs to have a semblance of a win for back home. If we continue to fund Ukraine, Putin's machine gets weaker and weaker and his position back home gets worse and worse. But fortunately he has Trump and Dope in his pocket to make his case for settlement now, because he needs a settlement that he can tout as a win back home. It's in the West's best interest to fund this for another year and squeeze Putin, and don't let him have that win. But we have Trump, and Dope.
