I am worried about Sweden still not in NATO. What's the latest on that? Menendez should be ousted from the Foreign Affairs committee. Sweden must get in, in case the worst happens and Trump distances us from NATO totally. ........... I like Zelensky inviting Trump to visit Ukraine. Of course nothing will come of it. He should also offer to meet him here in the US. The State Dept should let it happen, as Ukraine must prepare for the worst case scenario. I know Keir Starmer is already preparing. .....Netanyahu must stop making stupid statements about 'no 2 state solution ever.' Not helpful.
Agreed on all. Though not worried about delay on Sweden. With Finland covering their eastern land border, there is just no viable direct threat to them..
OK but better to have them officially in. The Israel Gaza situation has become a perfect mess for Biden, as he cannot satisfy everyone. At this point I think both Putin and Netanyahu, each for their own reasons, are waiting for Trump's return.
it is not going to happen anytime soon. So it is hard to say whether he will survive it - since it will be so distant in future. A lot of things / facts on the ground would need to change before that is even possible. It is also likely that he would resign and let someone else negotiate that. To save his own face/legacy (if there is public support for this move but he is still against etc).

Could/Would Zelensky survive politically if he agreed to negotiate or give up the eastern areas occupied by Russia? Not even getting into Crimea.

I do not want to concede anything. But I wondered how that aspect played. Thanks.
Neither do I. I also think it is totally still winnable. Our own weakness in supporting Ukraine is the main problem...
