Topic	Ukraine agrees to one month ceasefire, US agrees to resume intelligence sharing
EPR-radar 03/11/25 5:20:29 PM #20:	Mussurana posted... It's a smart move, likely the strategy Zelensky has agreed with European leaders in his recent whirlwind diplomacy tour. Think it through, the Europeans have refrained from saying what they really think, because that would cause Trump to double down, he always does (also avoids immediate tariffs, diplomacy has many angles). US shipments and intelligence resume at a time they are sorely needed. Trump gets something he wants, but it's only useful if the Russians agree to a ceasefire (something they are unlikely to do at a time they are making gains on the battlefield). It's a potential wedge to drive between Putin and Trump, if Putin won't agree, Trump looks foolish. A lot of this is likely attractive to Rubio too, he's no Russia fan, even if he's eating a lot of shit at the moment to keep his job. Now, this may all be for naught, if the hold Putin has over Trump is too strong, but at least we'll all know where we stand at that point, and time will have been bought. I think this last point is crucial. Ukraine and Europe need time. It's clear to all the US under Trump is now a bad actor in this mess, and is an enemy of both Ukraine and Europe. But nothing good comes out of saying this any earlier than necessary. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
