'Trump will want a quick deal, but he cannot be a loser on this. So, the more Ukraine keeps fighting, hold fast, surely and literally, ‘all hands on deck’, avoiding more (substantial) loss of territory and surely avoiding mistakes of military management and tactical choices, Ukraine must and will resist.''Ukraine must look at the resilience and cunning of either Finland or Israel, striking success when opportunity clears. Getting into NATO with a nearly 100 years after the Winter war and bitter loss of Karelia, or, the ‘erasure’ of enemies across borders (eg Syria and Asad). Ukraine needs to invest in technology, engineering, build walls, detection defences, create a fast reaction army, have 2 to 3 years’ service like Israel; all, old to young, male, female, all involved and ready.
Plus invest in defence, bulldozers, digging and building for security, high tech to see in advance, high tech to strike without detection, ‘fast and furious’. You get the drill. Ukraine will only reach the next decade (2030) if resisting and playing well on the battlefield but also on strategy board. It is important to prepare for the after-Zelensky. It makes sense.
..
..Ukraine should also get support from an alliance and ‘Windsor’ treaty with UK, and similar with France, Norway, whomever.
Trump will want a quick deal, but he cannot be a loser on this. So, the more Ukraine keeps fighting, hold fast, surely and literally, ‘all hands on deck’, avoiding more (substantial) loss of territory and surely avoiding mistakes of military management and tactical choices, Ukraine must and will resist.
Moreover, the card to play is ‘ukraine defeat is trumps defeat (not Biden’s)’, this will put Trump on a fighting stand (see is photo (Donald Trump's and JD Vance's official portraits released) for the mandate, some media analysts see a sort of boxing mug shot of menacing fighter therein) but Ukraine needs to strive, hold on as to avoid that someone came and say ‘Biden cause the problem’. It must become entangled with Trump’s mandate: the maintenance of Ukraine; at least for him….so that is not a looser.
‘’Survival is the best revenge’’, so Ukrainians should enthuse and embrace this. Ukraine also needs all the help it can get, as EU seems a bit on the right to extreme right swing. But Ukraine needs really to be a modern, efficient, exemplary country, ranging from institutional offices\operations to up rebuilding and than, again, defence, the latter being really very difficult to achieve (see the film by A Kurosawa), as surrounded by enemies or almost.
If Ukraine becomes a top notch country leading in technology, innovation, engineering, and then …defence (!), it can withhold when putin will try again; he will. Soon.'
