What's Trump's Leverage Ending the Ukraine War? w/Col Jacques Baud

*Please check out my appearance on Tucker Carlson's show:

Ukraine Is Selling American Weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels. Col. Daniel Davis on How to Stop It.

Russia’s primary objective in Ukraine is not to seize territory but to destroy Ukraine’s military potential. It critiques Western narratives that measure success by territorial gains rather than attrition and depletion of Ukrainian forces. The speaker claims that Russia has been methodically destroying Ukrainian military capacity in phases, forcing Ukraine to rely increasingly on Western-supplied equipment, which is also being systematically neutralized.

The discussion suggests that Russia is effectively achieving its goals despite a lack of significant territorial advances. Ukraine’s recruitment struggles, reliance on Western aid, and deteriorating public morale are cited as indicators of Russian success. The presenter also doubts the viability of any future peace settlement, emphasizing that Russia has no trust in Western guarantees and aims to ensure Ukraine cannot be rearmed.

Regarding potential U.S. involvement, it is suggested that a future Trump administration may attempt to negotiate a ceasefire with armed neutrality for Ukraine, but Russia is unlikely to accept such terms. The presentation concludes that Ukraine’s military might collapse within months due to mounting losses, declining public support for the war, and lack of reconstruction funding, leading to de facto Russian victory.
