Why is Trump so keen on Putin

Doug99 said:
I cant see Putin agreeing to pull back to the Crimea. He will want to keep what he has gained. It will be interesting to see how Trump will face up to Putin regarding boundaries.

Prepare to be dismayed, I fear. Poots will want all 4 regions he part holds, and along to Odessa.
TO be fair part of what he has voted for independence - impossible, but after that East leaning.
I'd bet poot s will want a new puppet government so he had assimilate Ukraine over a period if not immediately.

Indeed, not looking good.

Your choice, I really don't care if you like what I say or don't. It's called free speech.

No, Trump is doing exactly what he is telling everybody But I don't agree with this policy. I think he's done remarkably well in spurring Europe into increasing defence spending and become less reliant on the USA. If a peace deal is achieved with Russia holding on to Crimea only, I'd consider that a reasonable result, if a peace deal means Russia holds onto all the land it's occupying, I'd consider that a disaster and a betrayal.

No, he really isn't doing what he is telling everybody. Look at how he is bullying Ukraine and doing nothing to Russia, but helping them. Total opposite to what he is saying he is doing.

As always with Donald it's difficult to visualize his intentions and negotiations could take a different direction, but I'm not happy with the direction they're currently taking.

Nobody sensible in Europe, or the west generally, should be happy with the direction they are taking. Our future is at stake.

Doesn't mean I don't like the bloke though, hell I was even praising Starmer the other day.

Much better leader than Trump, and the last 3 or 4 Tory leaders we have had, and looking to be a major player in Europe, despite all the objects we have put in the way

Different decision which came after the one not to share military intelligence. It wasn't a military satellite but a commercial one. You're welcome.

Three million at LEAST. Except it's a Saturday, they're shut.

I did ok on buying up Euro defence stocks as soon as there were suggestions, They rose about 25%, but have dropped back.
But with the entire market trumpdumping, there's no escaping some "drawdowns" (losses).. I've been out of the tech stocks etc, but even bonds have dropped a bit.
This blue one hasn't dropped in a couple of years, it has now (hard to see on this scale). At 1%+ a month it's my backstop.

Orange is the DAX, German stock exchange. "Everybody" jumped on that a week ago, many of us were sat in it already as it's been doing ok. I also used the 3x version. A bit hairy. I'll pull out aheadr of April 2.

I could bore you with other graphs which predict a big stagflation dump in the US, so I'll be reverting to Money market (5%) and some bonds, with a tad of Chyeeeena, (top one).... but that depends on tariffs too.

Purple and green did really well for several months. I sold most but lost on the rest.

All land was taken exactly as Putin has done, he is doing nothing unusual in taking what he sees as his back. Not saying it is right by any shot but that is why we have army's nowadays to defend and protect what is ours. Putin has won what he now holds and won't be giving it back. He wants to push NATO back and not push further into Russia, therefore not a cat in hells chance of him turning away now.
