Two months for peace.

"US President-elect Donald Trump has said his administration will focus on ending the Russia-Ukraine war, as he lamented the killing of people in the conflict." TOI. "Trump's re-election has the potential to upend the almost three-year conflict between Russia and Ukraine, throwing into question Washington's multibillion- dollar support for Kyiv," although, "Trump has not said how he intends to strike a peace deal on Ukraine or what terms he would propose." ET. It should be easy. All Ukraine has to do is to renounce membership of NATO and Russian President Vladimir Putin will immediately pull his troops back. Apparently, "Russia was ready to end the war and withdraw its troops in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality just a few months after the invasion began and was refused partly because of ex-British PM Boris Johnson, who pressured Kyiv into continuing the fight, David Arahamiya, the leader of the Ukraine's ruling party confirmed...on November 24," European Conservative. "Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is certain the war with Russia will 'end sooner' than it otherwise would have once Donald Trump becomes US President." "Trump has consistently said his priority is to end the war...and what he describes as a drain on US resources in the form of military aid to Kyiv." BBC. However, lame duck Biden has deliberately escalated the war just two months before Trump will be sworn in on 20 January 2025 (BBC). "US President Joe Biden has allowed the first long-range US missiles by Ukraine to intensify its strikes on Russia, US officials said." TOI. Whether he is trying to trigger a severe Russian response with heavy Ukrainian casualties, producing such anger in European countries, that Trump will not be able to end the war, or he is trying to reward defense firms, or he is trying to prevent an investigation into the shady dealings of his odious son in Ukraine (NBC), possibly to finance his drug addiction (BBC), we do not know. "Shares of the biggest defense companies, which have handily beat the benchmark S&P stock index for the last two years, are expected to keep rising, according to Wall Street estimates." Reuters. Trump also wants to end the killing in the Middle East. That should be easy as well. All Hamas has to do is to release all remaining hostages and the war will stop instantly. Israel believes Hamas is still holding 97 hostages out of the 251 it had originally kidnapped. BBC. But Hamas is using the hostages, little children in schools and the sick in hospitals as human shields, as the cowards try to hide from Israeli attacks. "Throughout his campaign, Trump has vowed to bring peace to the region." "International mediators from the US, Egypt and Qatar have tried unsuccessfully to bring about a lasting cease-fire. Yet Trump has repeatedly urged Israel to 'finish the job' and destroy Hamas - but hasn't said how." AP. Will Biden try another of his nasty tricks to stop peace in Gaza, as he has done against Ukraine? He still has two months in office before the world is rid of him. For good.
