Ukraine can't accept those terms, you'd assume. So maga will either wash their hands of them (haven't they already?) or partner Russia in it's invasion of Ukraine, which sounds ridiculous but then again.stevebrooks wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 3:42 pm Trump has sent his final non-negotiable peace deal offer to Zelensky, let's see, where to start?
US recognition of Crimea as part of Russia
Recognition of all territory Russia controls as part of Russia
A promise that Ukraine will never become a member of NATO
All sanctions lifted
Enhanced co-operation between US and Russia in the energy and industrial sector
So complete and utter surrender by Ukraine, why that last point is there I have no idea since it has nothing to do with any peace deal or negotiation on the Ukraine/Russia conflict. It's almost as if he wished to get the point across that they are now on the Russian side in any negotiation or disagreement between any other country in the world and Russia. It's the final surrender of the US to Russia rather than the surrender of Ukraine to Russia, this is everything Putin wanted, and in the end if this was agreed to, I don't think it will be, he would finish invading Ukraine at his leisure with no fear of any response from the US!
There are four major global blocks - US, Russian, China and the EU. Maga's most natural ally is obviously Russia. Russia is majority white; Russia is basically christian (although orthodox of course); Russia hates LGBTQ+ people; Russia is heavily patriarchal; political opposition is illegal in Russia (although so it is in China); Russia really hates democracy (separation of powers especially legal powers); Russia's leader is a billionaire; and Russia hates the EU. They are Maga. Russia and Maga are natural allies. They're also the only friends the US is likely to get these days, with the exception of Netanyahu's Israel, and a handful of minor dictators.
I don't think it takes a genius to predict where this is heading. There's a real possibility maga will gamble on a major war with someone, and that someone will definitely not be Russia. They may be too timid to go the EU, perhaps they'll leave that to Moscow? I guess we're left with China.
As an Aussie, i'd march in the streets to ally ourselves with the EU, at this point. We remain neutral in a China/US conflict.
Of course, anything might happen, who the fuck knows? I'm quite sure however, that maga want and also need some boots on the ground, somewhere. Because when you have boots on the ground, political opposition to that becomes 'unAmerican,' and thus illegal, which is really the ultimate maga wet dream.
