Nice article. One minor doubt: “I would hope that giving Trump “the win” is preferable to nuclear war”

Not to the deep state. Not by a long shot.

If it did work, the deep state would be apoplectic because it would virtually guarantee Trump 2024. I honestly think the deep state would prefer to take their chances with nukes.

I doubt the globalist warmongers think that would be better than a nuclear war. Particularly if it requires Trump, whom they hate with the heat of a thousand suns. He's a nationalist all the way, completely anathema to them and their goal of "spreading liberal democracy" and "nation building" in the countries they've destroyed around the world.

Def. "liberal democracy" - a globalist kleptocracy that allows them to suck up all the wealth and resources through economic collapse and pen up the peasants and peons in labor camps after reducing the world population by about 75%.

Dear lord, no! The last thing we need is the guy who inflicted Operation Overventilation and then WARP speed on us getting into a dick measuring contest with Putin that includes a possible nuclear response on the end of it.

Don't get me wrong, nobody Dementia Joe sends is likely to be useful at all. But you don't send a lit match to a powder keg.

Trump actually had his chance to prevent this by pulling out of NATO when he rightly identified it as an alliance whose purpose had become for European countries to milk US resources for their national defense rather than paying for it and providing it for themselves. And how they were also becoming more dependent on Russian resources that ultimately undermined NATO's original purpose. But in the Trump way, he talked a good game and delivered no actual game or, as with the case of COVID, a nightmare of a Fauci game.

An excellent idea. And a bonus: the libs won't back the war anymore.

I mean, I think there are reasons this is happening now instead of four years ago.

But Trump is absolutely more objectionable than nuclear war to deep state players. Even if he had the ability to talk everybody down, he’d never be given the chance.

I like your thinking. But I think we all know that there is no way Biden or his cabal would give Trump the chance to negotiate with Putin. Sad but true.

"We made the best deal, the greatest deal ever! Nobody could have made a deal as good as this one.” - Yup, I can just hear him say this. I like your idea. Sharyl Atkisson floated this idea on Twitter a couple of days ago.

Not sure what you mean by "no quick win for Putin". It took the US more than 3 weeks from the Iraq invasion start to get to Baghdad (and Ukraine has a larger are than Iraq). Would you say the Iraq invasion (not the occupation afterwards) was not a quick win?

As to occupation of all of Ukraine - I doubt that was ever Putin's plan. He would probably keep the areas that were initially pro Russian (Donetsk, Lugansk), but the rest is full of hostile population. Why would he need it?
