Everyone wants peace, that isn't a plan. The question is what does America


stand for, both with regard to respect for national sovreignty, and how trustworthy are we to our allies?

Of course, a negotiated settlement is likely how this works out, but you don't give away your position before negotiation. Leaving out the sheer horseshit of "I will solve the war in 24 hours", what message does that send to Russia, which despite your failure to admit it, is clearly the malign party here, if you say "I will settle this on January 20 2025"? It says, stick it out Russia, Trump will give you what you want in 2 years. There is one clear party in the wrong here, and you know it, even if Trump can't bring himself to say it. My solution is fully support Ukraine for as long as it takes, to strengthen them either winning the war outright or advancing their bargaining position in any negotiation. To fail to do emboldens Russia to do it again, and emboldens China to take Taiwan. Republicans used to know this.

As for the overcharged/oversentenced people, who are they? Proud Boys/Oath Keepers? I would appreciate some examples, rather than a recitation of LA's general fever dream of general unfairness of the legal system. As a lawyer, are you willing to go along with that assertion?
