  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Vance says war in Ukraine ‘not going to end any time soon,’ hours after US signs minerals deal with Kyiv​

Trump suggested just last week that Russia and Ukraine were “very close to a deal” after his foreign envoy, Steve Witkoff, spent three hours meeting with Putin at the Kremlin.

Talks to end the war — which Trump previously promised to do within 24 hours of taking office — have largely stalled, despite several top level meetings and at least two direct phone calls between Trump and the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I could swear Trump supporters voted for different results.
The swing voters, probably. Regarding the MAGA voters, it looks more cult-like. No questioning, no critical thinking.

Before the election Trump "described Ukraine in bleak and mournful terms Wednesday, referring to its people as “dead” and the country itself as “demolished,” https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ukraine-putin-zelenskyy-0f4d539aa73a943474d779716e5fe42a
later he says they can't win and also "A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,"

How demoralizing it must have been to lose the USA backing. Still, with resilience the Ukrainians continue to hold their own. Got to give Ukraine props for that.

Interestingly, when the US got the natural resources deal, war can suddenly continue and the first US military aid after Trump was elected was immediately approved, yesterday.

If it is true, because there is so much fog, lies and inconsistent claims from various officials that it is like a circus.

welcome to reality
Oh, don't worry. They will find some sort of fantasy spin. No acknowledgement of "reality" is permitted in the White House if Trump does not approve.
