The only peace deal America should accept in the Ukraine War is complete restoration of territory and reparations.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-only-peace-deal-america-should.html

I don't see any reason why a fair and equitable peace, in a war Russia started and for which they are responsible, would include anything but the restoration of all sovereign Ukrainian territory to Ukraine, including the Crimea and the Donbas. It should also include reparations for all of the property the Russians destroyed.

NATO is a defensively postured organization. Ukraine's belonging to it should not be considered a threat to Russian security.

The Ukrainian government, elected before the war, should remain in power until there are elections. And the Ukrainian military should be armed and trained by NATO.

Anything less than that, and Putin will succeed in demonstrating to the world that Trump is, indeed, both a sucker, and a Russian asset.

And another condition: Putin must stop making TSF look like a fool.

He starts off by pointing out the falsehoods and correcting the lies. He pointed out several times that Trump's insistence that the Russians have the Ukrainians "surrounded" is a false one.

That's the way the media ought to be handling Trump. Point out what lies he's told first, then report the news on that.
