Pressure Creates Paths to Peace

Changing assumptions about Trump's approach to Ukraine reveals a strategy focused on increasing pressure on Russia through enhanced economic sanctions and military support for Ukraine. Instead of abandoning Ukraine, the plan aims to compel Putin to negotiate, potentially leading to a stabilization of current borders without reaching a formal peace agreement. Historical parallels to the Korean armistice suggest a preference for managing conflict rather than resolving it, indicating that a future Trump administration might be perceived favorably by Russian supporters.
