My predictions is that Putin gets what he has alongside rest of Donbass (around 20% of Ukraine) and does not go further. Keep in mind Russians want Odessa and basically half the country. So that would be a compromise from Putin side. Zelensky obviously wants it all and will loose 20% instead of half. That would be the compromise. Also no Ukraine in NATO but security guarantees. Another compromise. Any predictions?

With online dating on top of going out it is doable if you are very good.

How do you see the war ending realistically?

@Hatfort The amount of anti Russian propaganda I see regarding the Rubble is insane. Since 2021 there has been maybe a 30% devaluation. Other currencies like the Egyptian pound have had a 300 to 400% devaluation yet nobody says it is collapsing. Pure bias.

Israel does not care about truth nor human rights yet USA treats it like its son. Does not seem like a convincing argument to me.

Where in Ukraine do you live? Unless there is a high chance of the front coming to where you live, I would stick it out for a bit longer. Trump will come to office, and there is a good chance it will lead to the war ending or at least a long ceasefire. Perhaps you can leave then. If you held on for 3 years you can handle a few more months.

Why is the West so obsessed with destroying Russia? Why not collaborate together against China for example? The West is ally with Saudi Arabia, so they got no issues allying themselves with dictators, it is not a question of democracy or not. Seems like there is some deep rooted anti Russian sentiment that spans centuries. Otherwise they could have made Russia an ally of the West long before this war became a thing.

Perhaps Western countries, especially European ones will distance themselves further given that Israel is officially ruled by a war criminal. Could perhaps lead to further isolation for Israel? Not to mention an awful PR for them. It is wrong to conflate Israel with Russia. Russia main allies are not countries that have signed the ICC treaty. Iran, North Korea, China to be exact. Meanwhile except the US, all Israeli allies have signed it. Germany, UK, France for example.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2exvx944o So what will happen now I wonder? I made a similar thread in May when the prosecutor wanted the arrest warrants and now it is an official thing. Do you guys think it will hurt Israel international standing, its trade deals and overall reputation? I personally doubt they will ever be arrested since they are not forced to travel to the countries which actually have signed the treaty. Neither has the US.

Biden seems to be going all out before leaving office. What do you guys here think Russia will do?

RFK JR seems quite jacked though.

I agree. It is because the general opinion is that most Israelis support the massacres in Gaza and they all serve in the IDF (hence potential war criminal). Only way for Israelis not to be so hated is to start protesting against the government about its atrocities in Gaza. Otherwise they will continue to be hated and discriminated. It is collective punishment in a way.

@Fearey What about the supreme court? And anyone know this guy? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c937ndxvkggo

Hello So I am not American and do not know exactly how it works there. I saw that Trump won the popular vote, won 270 seats and also won both Senate and the House of Representatives. Also on top, he has some Supreme court judges which he appointed back in the day. What does this mean for the US? I know that in order to pass legislation, you need both houses to agree but he has both now under republicans. Does this give him power to pass legislation that he could not before? Is the Supreme Court the only body that checks him? Can he somehow corrupt that too? I know many here were against him becoming President, but I did not expect him to win everything. How will this play out? Also, so far what you think of the people he has appointed? I saw he put RFK Jr as minister of health or something.
