    What I don’t get is what Russia’s plan is if they win. They must know that at this point they’ve been so harsh to civilians that the UAF would become an insurgency rather than stand down. There wouldn’t ever be peace, just partisans and collective punishment to feed into the endless violence until the regime collapsed. Further, win or lose Russia and Ukraine are facing a demographic collapse.

    Fractally senseless.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In comments made to Hungarian news outlet M1, Orbán said Trump has detailed plans on how to end the war, Reuters reported.

    The Trump campaign’s statement about the meeting between Trump and Orbán didn’t mention Ukraine, saying only that the two men had discussed issues affecting their respective countries and the importance of strong border security.

    The campaign did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment, sent outside of working hours.

    Pro-Trump Republicans in Congress have also vocally opposed further aid to Ukraine, sending a bill with $60 billion earmarked for the country into limbo.

    He has also frequently expressed frustration with fellow NATO states and the scale of their contribution to collective defense.

    Trump has suggested that, under his leadership, the US would refuse to come to the aid of fellow NATO states that have not met the threshold, even saying that he would encourage Russia to attack them.
