There are some 8 weeks for real action.

Ukraine has clearly stated what they need, and much of it is clear, some is even free. There is no risk of escalation anymore. Do it or don't do it, but stop playing games.

This is a distraction, and will go nowhere. Women voted for Trump. Try to understand that and move forward with real political action.

The Baltics are in a much stronger position than Ukraine. They are in Nato already, and are geographically important as a buffer to the only Nato members who actually take Russia as a serious threat (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland.) Tactically, air and sea defence of the Baltics is externally feasible, and the Baltics nations have focused on building land defense over the recent years. If you combine this with the obvious Russian war fatigue, and lack of resources, it is clear the Russia doesn't have the capacity to invade the Baltics over the next two years at least, even if the Belarusians participated.

All of this becomes even harder if the Russians are gifted Ukraine and have to occupy it militarily.

You are describing citizenship. Most countries allow long term residence (>3 months) with lower requirements. It's often easiest to look for work first, if you are competitively skilled, or are looking somewhere with labour shortages, as sponsorship makes it easier.

Canadians feel the same.

Trump's not going to need to apply tarifs.

Biden has both Russia and China on the back foot with failing economies, and significant social unrest. Both are desperate to make a deal with Trump. Trump only succeeds in negotiation when he can bully his adversary.

If Biden had the faculties, he could have whipped both countries and probably avoided this mess.

Your argument is not very strong. Slow death versus fast death? Actually, I think that the IDF might be going about as fast as they can.

I am trying to decide if Taiwan will fall. Trump has been pretty anti-China in rhetoic, and will look to cement his legacy on this term.

At the same time I can see him giving Taiwan away in an economic deal with China, who are on the ropes economically right now.

I agree that it would have been better to have legitimacy, despite the results. Now you have legitimacy, and bad results.

I don't know why you are getting down voted. She lost , so she was a bad candidate.

She might have been a good candidate, but she was never chosen in the primaries, so why would the voters choose her.
