Trump, Zelensky, Ukraine, and the White House
Why do the Democratic party and Europe want a forever war?
There are three choices, the TL;DR version: The Democratic party and European leaders seem in favor of the “forever war” or all-out war in Europe. Authoritiarians all.
Peace now with at least somewhat favorable terms for Ukraine.
A “forever war” - twenty or more years of war like in Afghanistan with trillions of dollars spent and hundreds of thousands of lives lost.
All out war in Europe with tens of millions of lives lost and 10s of trillions of dollars spent.
And I know I said three, but the reality is that
number 3 could potentially leading to world war 3. A disaster for everyone and everything on the planet.
Do the leaders of Europe really believe that the US should pay the bills for numbers 2, 3, or 4? Do they want the US to pay much of the bill in lives lost?
If Europe wants war, they should pay for it. Perhaps if European nations had been investing adequately in their own defense since World War II—rather than relying on U.S. protection—and if the U.S. had not been led by a weak, feckless, incompetent, possibly compromised president, Putin would not have invaded. It’s worth noting that Putin did not invade during the January 2017–January 2021 timeframe. Biden allowed it—either through incompetence or corruption.The left attempts to project their Putin sympathies onto Trump, but in reality, anything that weakens the U.S. serves the interests of Europe's socialist leaders, as it masks their own weaknesses and corruption.
Additionally, this crisis underscores yet another evil of fiat currencies: governments—including Putin’s Russia, Europe, China, and the U.S.—can finance their wars through debt and inflation while hiding the true costs from their citizens and the world. This enables the perpetual funding of forever wars.
The US must have strong, competent leadership with a strong, military to deter aggression around the world so that the US NEVER has to use the military. Instead we had 12 weak years with Obama and Biden which leads to war, enriching those funding the left and destabilizing the world.
The longer, extra version:
Europe and Ukraine find themselves at a critical crossroads. The options before them—negotiated peace, a wider European conflict, or an escalated global war—carry enormous legal, financial, and moral consequences. It is vital that these possibilities be evaluated not only from a strategic standpoint, but with a clear understanding of their real-world impact on human lives.
First, a negotiated peace, remains the most humane path. Any agreement must be detailed, enforceable, and supervised by impartial parties. The challenge is to ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty is preserved without completely sacrificing its interests to outside pressures. While compromise can be painful, a well-crafted accord can end the violence, potentially shield innocent civilians from harm, and help avert the chaos of prolonged warfare.
Should negotiations falter, a large-scale war erupting across Europe is the next possible—yet far more perilous—scenario. Multiple nations might be drawn in, and the resulting chaos would not only risk vast casualties, but also trigger claims for damages and displace communities on an enormous scale. Beyond the immediate devastation, affected parties could spend years in legal disputes over liability and reparations. History has repeatedly shown how regional wars can spiral out of control, leaving behind a legacy of destruction and bitterness.
Finally, the specter of a global conflict—World War III—looms as an outcome that must be prevented at all costs. In a world with nuclear capabilities, all-out warfare would dwarf the tragedies of past conflicts. The responsibility of every government involved—morally, politically, and legally—is to avoid lighting the fuse to such a catastrophe.
Without a valid, durable peace plan, the conflict may stretch on indefinitely, mirroring the drawn-out wars of the past that have cost trillions of dollars and countless lives. Some argue that massive military force is the only way to end the violence, but such a path frequently leads to more instability rather than lasting solutions. In the end, Europe, Ukraine, and the broader international community must work together to find common ground, guided by compassion, common sense, and a commitment to preserving human life and dignity.
