Actually, there is a plan to stop the genocide in Gaza. Israel already announced it:

Kill everybody in Gaza, annex the west bank. After that, Voila! no more genocide!

Russians/ukrainians don't have dual citizenship, massive lobbying, endless free weapons, ownership of almost every politician, muslim victims, etc.

So people aren't as brainwashed into supporting the genocide of ukrainians.

"Of course!

Putin gets everything he wants.
Ukraine gets steamrolled and then annexed.
The US pulls out of NATO.

In return:

Trump sales of wristwatches skyrockets among Russia's elite.

See how easy that was?"

-- Donald Trump.

TBD. Trump has praised Putin (and other dictators) on several occasions. Trump has said he's okay with Putin (or other countries) invading NATO countries, and he wouldn't step in. After his election win, his son stated it would be the end of Ukraine's "allowance" from the US - a disgusting remark.

Trump is a pathological liar. Even if he tells us what he'll do, we won't know what he'll do.

Trump is a narcissist. If you praise him and stroke his ego, he'll be more likely to do what you want. It's not hyperbolic to say that Trump's position could be influenced if Putin offered Trump some beachfront property in Russia to develop a resort.

It's easy to do a deal when you get all the upside and people you don't care about get all the downside
