Ending Ukraine war was going to be Trump's legacy
Famously, Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within twenty-fours of taking office for the second time. Now, no one even suggests in Washington that the US president is even thinking about Russia and Ukraine, let alone banging heads together and getting a deal. Trump is totally focused on Iran and Hamas, and seems to have forgotten his pledge about the war in Ukraine. It's a war that has no end. Ukraine was doing quite well and is now almost daily hitting targets inside Russia, especially oil facilities of every kind to try and reduce the amount of revenue for Moscow to spend on the war. But Ukraine is running out of anti-defence missiles. So Russia is helping itself and striking Kyiv and other towns whenever it likes, killing Ukrainians. The US is also running out of Patriot interceptors, so Zelensky is not going to get any more from Trump, and will have to rely on Europe for some form of missile interceptors. But Europe doesn't have an abundance of these defensive weapons either. So poor Kyiv is going to suffer hits every night without the means to protect citizens. So, the war in Ukraine is not going to end soon. In fact, by the time Trump leaves office in January 2029, the war will still be going on, I predict, and the next president will have the job of trying to get negotiations going. One thing he won't promise is to end the war within twnety-four hours of taking office.
