Russia is just trying to make it through the election and is hoping that Trump wins and will cut off aid to Ukraine (and I am not at all sure that is what would happen).

I actually think Trump would broker a treaty and end it all. Hell he had Israel and its Arab enemies almost at a peace deal. The biggest shock to me of the Trump presidency was his successful diplomacy and foreign policy. Biden has absolutely fricked it all up and chaos has ensued between Russia-Ukraine and the mess in Israel.

I remember reading Putin wanted to invade Ukraine while Trump was president and Trump told them if he did that he would put a cruise missile through the Kremlin. Kremlin officials said they held back because Trump was “a cowboy” and they couldn’t determine if he would do it or not.

Also our military under Trumps command obliterating that Russian mercenary group that tried to attack a U.S. base, the MOAB on the Taliban outpost, killing Soleimani, etc really lends credence to such threats.

Putin doesn’t want Trump to win. I guarantee you that. Biden may send money and weapons but that’s it, he is too scared to go further.

Putin isn’t going to use nukes. The minute he fires an ICBM at a NATO nation Moscow would cease to exist. Trump would call this bluff and threaten direct NATO involvement if Putin doesn’t come to the table to work out a treaty

Elmer Fudd could've gotten the Sunni Arab neighbors to make peace accords/security alliances with Israel... because their former refusal to accept a Jewish State has been replaced by their complete opposition to anything aligned with Iran, and Hamas and Hezbollah are aligned with Iran. And that development was named by Hamas as THE reason for October 7, that the region was "forgetting the Palestinian cause and accepting Israel." And that is why those countries are all kind of doing lip service to concern about Palestinian civilians (they don't and never truly have given a shite about the actual Palestinian people) while letting Hamas be destroyed and getting ready for that to finish so they can force the creation of an actual Palestinian state that has to abide by international law and they stop having headaches because of the noisy neighbors.

And I don't want to sound like some Biden fan (I'm merely a Biden tolerator) but you're saying the guy who's always been a complete dick to Putin's face and called him a murderer to the international press is less threatening than someone who's businesses owe the Oligarchs billions and who stood next to Putin and very meekly mumbled that he believed Putin over his own government... which he was in charge of at the time (Putin, who "doesn't understand English," cracked a smile and laughed in disbelief...)...

Whatever... downvote away. Badges of honor.
