  1. Submission Statement: “There is reason to believe the Kremlin is setting a trap for the new Trump administration.” Vitalij Garber argues against conceding any territory to Russia in Ukraine, warning that such a move would bolster Putin’s image as a national hero and perpetuate imperialistic ambitions. Freezing the conflict through a ceasefire could also be perceived as a victory for Russia, undermining the sovereignty of Ukraine and damaging the credibility of American leadership. The West must not allow Putin to claim victory from his impending defeat.

  2. I mean, yeah. Sure would be nice if the US hadn’t done anything stupid and was able to let the Russians bury themselves. But it’s probably a little late for “Don’t do the stupid thing…”. We done did it

    Why would Russia want a ceasefire when they’re actively winning? All a ceasefire would do is give Ukraine time to recover and set up defenses.. It’s counterproductive to their stated goals. If you’re gaining ground in an offensive, you don’t want to stop and take a break; you want to press your advantage, right?

    Yeah, sure, that was the problem with Afghanistan, we didn’t stay long enough and didn’t spend enough money. Who writes this stuff?
