President Trump is threatening to send 1000 miles range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to a peace settlement. Apparently President Trump does not understand that Russia already wants peace. Russia simply wants security conditions to be met, fair lines to be drawn and obviously for diplomatic recognition of its presently held land in East Ukraine in addition to an end to U.S. sanctions.
President Trump must be aware that Zelensky won’t sign off on a peace deal; instead he wants the war and martial law to continue indefinitely. He is said to be preparing to continue to lower the draft age over the next three years of war and to bring in women too for combat contact. Plainly Zelensky intends to string Trump along until another war mongering sycophant U.S. Democrat Party President can be elected and take office in January 2029.

The disingenuous and illogical parameters President Trump brings to negotiate a peace deal also offers the prospect of U.S. military operators working the Tomahawks to attack Russia since Ukrainians haven’t the training. Threats to bring peace don’t really work in a nuclear era where battle with the power with the most nuclear weapons on the planet is the main adversary. Russia has numerous missiles of its own to counterattack the United States with at some point where American provided and operated missiles have done sufficient damage to make a counter-strike necessary. Tomahawks are nuclear explosive capable making every launch on a Russian city a 50-50 chance of that city's incineration. Russians may tire of giving the west a continuous first nuclear strike opportunity.
Maybe the Congress at least should be required to have a vote-even an advisory, non-binding vote on topics concerning the escalation of conflict to a stage invoking possible nuclear exchange. Presidents Biden and Trump each seemed to lack sufficient reasoning skills to comprehend what can bring peace in Ukraine fairly directly. All that is required for that is for President Trump to end sanctions on Russia and to cease support for Ukraine, and assure President Putin that the U.S. won’t allow Ukraine to join N.A.T.O. President Putin would need to agree to stop the war along the combat contact lines that presently exist.
President Trump has all the cards to stop the war in his hand already. He seems incapable of playing that sort of bold move.
