The end to the war in Ukraine will be negotiated. My bet is that neither ‘Ukraine’ nor ‘Zelensky’ will be valid descriptors of parties in that negotiation. ‘Ukraine’ will be the subject or object of any talks and “Zelensky’ an irrelevance. ‘NATO’ will have only marginal input. By the time Donald Trump’s term is inaugurated and his policies official, will the Russian Army have occupied all the way to the Dnieper below the city of Dnieper? Will the border in front of Kursk have been returned to where they were before the Ukrainian offensive? What will the map look like by then?
‘Negotiation’ will not properly describe how the war for Israel will end, though there will be a number of negotiations with neighborhood powers regarding their acceptance of it. The war for Israel will be ended by the Israeli Defense Forces, now with the full support of the United States. Hamas will be destroyed, the people of Gaza left to understand that neither Hamas nor some remnant or derivative will be allowed to represent them. Likewise, Hezbollah. The leadership of Lebanon as a country will change dramatically. The West Bank will become part of Israel. Am I wrong?
