If you think about the World War I, how bogged down it got into trench warfare, that's effectively where you are now, although adding precision strike into the mix, holding anything within 30 kilometers of the front line at severe immediate risk.

The United States entry in the war is what finally pushed, put enough energy into the battle space to finish World War I.

There is no injection of new tech or new capability coming to do that in this war.

And so a imperfect settlement is better than whatever people think this is now.

It's a slow rototilling grinding end.

It is a pointless slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians to really not move the battle lines at all very effectively in either direction.

There is 0% chance that the Ukrainians are going to take back the Eastern provinces or the Crimea.

And so all they're doing now is ruining themselves demographically.

So Trump is right to call the Europeans out on their delusional nonsense because they're not going to suddenly win.

And they certainly don't have the means to pump even enough money in to keep the Ukrainians afloat.

But the biggest problem is Ukrainians just don't have enough manpower.

So again, maximizing pressure.

I'm not saying Trump has to capitulate to the Russians.

Of course not.

But again, an imperfect settlement is better than whatever people think this pointless slaughter is now.

You talk about imperfect.

President Trump has settled or at least slowed down eight conflicts so far.

I want to pick a specific one, this one in sub-Saharan Africa.

Talk to me about that.

President Trump just had him in signing something the other day.
