So Trump has already made steps to end/pause the genocide in Gaza, will probably end the war in Ukraine, and he's gonna have talks with the DPRK again. Once again, Biden and the Dems have been one of the worst regimes in US history, yet they will still call the Dems the "lesser evil".
- I wouldn't hold my breath on Ukraine. Putin declined to do peace negotiations without new concessions and now Trump is threatening to escalate tariffs and sanctions. So basically more of the same.
  I guess we'll see, but in order to do a deal, Trump will have to get Ukraine to make concessions. Obviously he can force them to do it, but that will make him look like he lost something. I think he'd rather stay in a forever war than look like he negotiated a losing deal.
  
  Does the cutting of aid today make the forever war more or less likely, in your opinion?
  
  Probably no difference. Military aid funding was already appropriated and apparently still flowing. Plus they have some of the money and weaponry we've previously provided, which should get them through the 90 days. Some reconstruction aid will probably be stopped, but it's not clear.
  The order stopping foreign aid was another of Trump's poorly written and poorly considered EO's. The Pentagon has plenty of time to get in Trump's ear about it before it would affect the war.
- Sure Biden was an unprecedented historical level on the world stage, but did you consider that Trump might be somewhat worse for Americans?
- Gaza: Seems pretty clear that Netanyahu is pausing as a support measure to Trump. Ukraine: End the war by not helping Ukraine fight anymore.
