Wars and Rumors of War, 2024. Part 9. Closing out 2024.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Matthew, Chapter 24.

A bad time of the year to start a new edition, but the old one was just too long.

Russo Ukrainian War

Russia rejected the peace plan of Putin fan boy Donald Trump, who promised during his recent campaign for the presidency to end the war between Russia and Ukraine as soon as he was elected.

An element of the plan was eventual NATO membership for Ukraine.  It was to be delayed for twenty years.  Russia also rejected the deployment of foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine.

Rejection aside, a person could easily question to what degree Trump himself came up with any of this.  The peacekeeper deployment was a good idea, as was NATO membership, although a twenty year delay was an awful idea.

And, so we close out 2024.

Last edition:

Wars and Rumors of War, 2024. Part 8. Wider wars.
