Prediction:  Russia is going to be uninterested in this and someone close to the administration will create a pretense to say that the Ukrainians weren’t serious.  I will be pleasantly surprised if any aid starts flowing again to Ukraine.  Hope I am wrong.

MAGA taking credit in 3... 2... 1

Of course he will. This was all an elaborate ruse to get Europe to step up. Not the knee jerk actions of a petulant child. No, of course not. 

But I don't give a shit as long as it gets done.

That said, who the fuck knows what side of the bed the administration will wake up on next week.

US restoring military and  intelligence support following the Jeddah meeting. I’m shocked, honestly.
How soon before Russia declares they’re completely uninterested in the ceasefire and we’re right back where we started?

Within 90 seconds of the conversation beginning. It will go like this:

And you’re not wrong. This admin will 100% find a way to put Putin in the white hat, and Ukraine in the doghouse. Because TFG is a bottom bitch around anyone with any remote bit of power.

If Mark Kelly is a traitor, everyone that’s ever supported Ukraine with words or donations or actions is a traitor. Guess the South African billionaire with a drug habit and over a dozen kids he doesn’t know, knows best. So what are we going to do now that we’re all traitors?

The narrative is that any cease fire would benefit Russia more than Ukraine, because Russia can rebuild reserves faster.  But is that true?  American aid is back on, the Europeans are spooling up, and Ukraine builds more and more of their own stuff.

Sure Russia will have time to drag T34’s out of the tree row, up armor Lada’s and such but it really seems Ukrain has the edge here.  
 

Or does this refer to Russia’s time to conscript more backwater hillbillies and Norks?

I think it's based on every ceasefire in the past. Russia only abides by them until they've built back up while everybody else treats it like the conflict was over and goes back to business as usual (in this case, that would be Europe dialing back their investment in defense.

The US is about to be full of millions of people with nothing to lose, so who knows.

methinks it's getting another few divisions of norks to the front. it's about to be mud season anyway so a short ceasefire probably doesn't change the front lines much over the next bit.

I read the list of cancelled USAID projects. All I could see for Ukraine, like Power, were ended. There is one outlier I could no find. So if there is non-military aid getting in I could not find it. But then the list of the 17% that remained I did not find and don't have time to cross reference. Anyone sees it would love a link.

Send NORKS forward. Let them eat up Ukrainian bullets. Run over bodies like little bridges.

Profit.

I think it’s impossible to know what the future holds for Ukraine in its relationship with the US. But the fact that Europe is taking its own security seriously is undeniably good. And that helps Ukraine.

I generally agree but the militarization of about a dozen countries on a small continent with a history of massive conflict does seem to have its draw backs. There was a historical reason why the US was - for all intents and purposes - ok being the sole military power protecting Europe, with that deal came extreme security as the Europeans could complain but could not really do much about their grievances. For now I think Europe as a counter balance is fantastic, but it won’t always be that way.

Yep, it takes 2-3 generations for Europeans to fight. Their wars are mean. We look at Africa and wars are continual, but when was the last time a capitol city was leveled?

Watch the Balkans. It is the perfect place for the split and a re-ignition. The stuff in the Serbian part of Bosnia is not good. 2-3 years we hear the Serbs start talking Kosovo again, especially if we leave.

Oh well, what we can predict is Italy under a right wing government will get involved, send troops and get their asses kicked.

They were/are our largest trading partner.  While we like to talk about being (at least in the past) the "Defender of Democracy" the reality is that so much of what we do militarily is not out of altruistic principles, but because the spice goods must flow.

We intervene in or prop up countries and feed poor countries because we want those markets and natural resources and/or we want to keep other countries (China, formerly the USSR, possibly India in the future) from nudging us out of the equation.
