    I hope he is truly saddened when he finds out. I hope it reopens all the wounds he has about never being accepted by the cool kids.

    He could still win the Economics Nobel for his innovations involving tariffs.

    That would be novel.

      So whose fault is Trump going to lay blame to for this renewal of hostilities? Those weak Europeans? Zelenskyi?

        France. Probably be right to do so, but still ill-advised. Europeans created so many hot spots around the world by carving up lands not their own.

          Somehow I doubt France is even remotely involved in this particular one.

            They drew the lines that are contested long ago. But I suppose it's rather like blaming your parents for your adult misfortunes - get over it.

                      The Trump nominations weren’t related to the newest Israel/Palestinian Peace Deal. They were based on ending the India/Pakistan conflict, The Congo and Rwanda Settlement, The Cambodia/Thailand Ceasefire, the Armenia/Azerbaijan settlement, and the earlier temporary ceasefire in Gaza.

                      So kindly let me know who has accomplished more this year, and that’s excluding the current peace plan in Gaza…

                      As I said in another thread

                      Has his foreign policy made the world a safer place?

                      MIddle East/Israel - I am not sure what has changed that will carry on for years.

                      India/Pakistan - India is moving much closer to China. Also, it can be an arguement that things with Pakistan and India did not really "flare up" until President Trump was in office. Nothing has really changed there. India and Pakistan have been "at odds" with various firing at each other for decades.

                      Ukraine/Russia - still waiting for that 24 hour time limit to start to bring peace there.

                      China relations/DPRK - relations with China continue to be downward, though that is actually a continuing from President Biden's time. I would say that DPRK is probably more powerful now than they were a year ago.

                      Thailand/Cambodia - I think that President Trump had something to do with the ceasefire, but the overall situation is really unchanged, other than the PM of Thailand has been removed and replaced.

                      Africa - dont know much about it Revisit in a year. (The biggest fighting group in Rwanda/Congo says that the agreement signed does not apply to them.)

                      Update from mid December:

                      There have been artillery exchanges all along the 800km (500-mile) border, and intense close-quarter battles between Thai and Cambodian soldiers for control of a few forested hilltops.
                      The Thai air force has had a free hand bombing targets inside Cambodia, which has limited air defences and no air force of its own to speak of.
                      Cambodia's feared BM21 rockets, an inherently inaccurate weapon, have rained down on the Thai side of the border, killing a civilian and injuring others, despite an early evacuation by the authorities.

                      The above was taken from a pretty good article on what is happening.
