  It will end the conflict.  It will also end Ukraine, which will become a part of Russia again.
  It won't stop the blood as the Russians kill thousands of Ukrainains as they take control of the country.
  It will go like this:
  "We just want to de-nazify Ukraine.  Whoops, everyone in Ukraine are Nazis."
context: There's nothing bizarre about it. Trump is backing Putin like he always does.
  Deeply frustrating journalism. Trump is being let off the hook. 
  Trump is Putin's patsy. We all know it. Journalists need to quit being afraid to mention it. >
  
  I think this is one of those stories where the writer just states the facts with as much whimsy as his editor will allow, and let’s you, the reader, draw your own conclusions. >
  
  The facts they state are woefully insufficient though.
  Its probably worth mentioning that Trump was investigated by Congress and a Special Counsel for links to Russia (with numerous links between Trump's associates and Russian officials being discovered), and impeached for withdrawing military aid for Ukraine. 
  I'd suggest that those facts are relevant.
  The reader can then decide for themselves whether he deserves the benefit of the doubt. >
  
  I’d argue facts are never insignificant, but Mike Pence almost got hanged awhile back and even he plays it down so what are you gonna do with some of these people besides actually kill them to make others see the light?
  Some would consider your additional information as “stacking the deck.”  It is really hard to write what is right and what is objective in journalism in the same sense which is why practically no one does.  
  Exchange Hitler for Putin and Great Britain for Ukraine pre December 1941 and there is not much difference in what’s going on.  Just how it’s framed now. >
  
  Yeah Putin's bitchboy says what? >
  
  No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet. >
  
  Sure - total surrender is one way to end a war.
  But this is just another grift by Trump of the Russians who want to buy chaos in the United States. >
  
  
  Russians who want to buy chaos in the United States.
  
  You broke the code. >
  
  and remember that Trump took US national Secrets with him on the way out while refusing to return them and lying he had kept any later. >
  
  Bizarrely? >
  
  "Rabid dog bizarrely bites man" >
  
  Right. If he helps Russia kill all the Ukrainians, then there are no more Ukrainians for the Russians to kill. >
  
  This man needs to one tried as an enemy combatant. >
  
  If anyone doesn't see this as normal behavior from Trump they obviously only pay attention to Tucker Carlson's narrative. >
  
  “Practically”
  He is and has been for a long time. >
  
  Breaking news, trump is a Russian pawn. Oh wait >
  
  It will halt the conflict. For 4 years. 
  It goes like this:
  Trump withdraws military aid as precondition to a long-term ceasefire. 
  Trump negotiates a peace deal that allows Russia to legally annex all the territory it took in the east, forces Ukraine government to agree to give up that land permantly. ("The greatest peace deal in the history of Europe, many people are telling me")
  Sanctions mostly dropped against Russia
  Russia militarizes the border, re-arms, prepares long-term re-invasion plan.
  Ukranian government gets pissed at the consequences of the terms over the next few years, starts complaining.
  Trump talks about how ungrateful they are, supports Russian-generated conspiracy theories against the legitimacy of their government and their supposed intentions to restart hostilities in the east.
  Trump leaves office in 2028 (hypothetically. Alternative timelines possible)
  New administration more helpful to Ukraine. Russia claims the west is preparing to invade as a result. Talks about the dangers that restarting the Ukrainian war would mean for European Security.
  Russia restarts the Ukraine war by re-invading.
  Trump from Mar A Lago - "When I was president there was no war in Ukraine!" >
  
  Its how the right wing rolls...  on everything. >
  
  Indeed. >
  
  Traitor, spy. >
  
  Well... no aid, no weapons to defend with nor money to buy any-> Russia rolls over Ukrain and Kyiv falls. I believe that TECHNICALLY he may be correct here.
  I just agreed with Trump... I am going to go vomit now. >
  
  Naw man you good. You didn't "agree" with Stumpy, you just gave recognition that's he's technically not wrong. >
  
  It would end the bloody invasion and begin the bloodier occupation. >
  
  Not bizarre at all.  Trump acts exactly as a Russian stooge would act. >
  
  Anyone know any Trump fans willing to admit they got played?
  What of the holdouts who still believe in Trump? >
  
  Republicans admitting something?  Never >
  
  Not bizzare from a traitor >
  
  Oh sure, it'll end that conflict.  But just make the next one all the more inevitable.. >
  
  As if it wasn't obvious already.  He is a Russian sympathizer. >
  
  Destroying all Russian forces in Ukraine will end it sooner. >
  
  Still taking his marching orders. >
  
  Sadly, a lot of right wing fools parot the same talking points about Russia invading Ukraine that Trump spews >
  
  Well yea...it will end the war.  Cause Putin will take Ukraine.  Remember Trump is a Putin asset, not an America patriot. >
  
  It will "end" because Putin will quickly slaughter the defenseless Ukrainians, which tRump supports because the Ukraine leaders wouldn't give him dirt on Biden. >
  
  That is only logical from Trumps POV: his master Putin conquers Ukraine, hence end of conflict
