trump advisers draw up plan to pressure Ukraine to end the war, if he is re-elected

Make the Russians miserable for holding it
The Russian economy can’t maintain an endless occupation in hostile territory. Make the Russian military expend troops and resources that can’t be replaced

They seem to be dealing with it. Russians are used to massive losses of men in wars, it's like Americans and excessive firepower use. It's part of their DNA.

If the west had a way to torpedo the Russian economy they would have used it already.
 
OK….What is Putin offering to ensure Russia will not seize additional territory?
Empty promises
Maybe, but the thing is that a peace deal shouldn't be just between Ukraine and Russia. It should rather be an international agreement signed by a number of regional states - G7, China, India, Brazil etc. In other words, Putin should take some obligations before his 'allies' too.

Russia is facing massive sanctions from the west
Should they be just forgiven?
Under what terms?

What is Russia offering?

trump has plans to return the US to total dependence on fossil fuel. That will help Poootin and his thugs by enhancing the price of crude oil worldwide.
 
He doesn't have to ensure anything right now, he's winning.

He holds the territory Ukraine wants back.
He holds territory he is paying a deadly price for
If Ukraine agrees to stop fighting for it, what are they getting in return?
 
Cutting off economic access to the west

Is Putin willing to have those sanctions remain in place?

Has he ever asked for them to be lifted?

If economic access to the west was required for the Russian economies survival, they would have felt effects by now that would force them to the table.

The west has critical technologies needed by Russia
If Putin is willing to live with sanctions …..let him
 

The plan has the strong smell of Putin's hand on it. So, trump seems intent on rewarding his pal, Vlad, for invading a neighboring country? Great, the US, which prides itself on not rewarding authoritarians would give Putin thousands of square miles of Ukrainian territory if Donald is re-elected. I am sure Vlad is giddy over the possibility trump will return to office.
End the war?

Hell no, keep it going like Joe, Joe does!!!!
