    We thought it was so over, but we've just recently come to the conclusion that could be so back, but so back in the way that they would realize it's so back and therefore frees us to prevent it from being so back

    President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he believed Ukraine could win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leader’s repeated calls for Kyiv to make concessions to end the war.

    Trump posted on social media soon after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly gathering of world leaders.

    “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” Trump wrote. “With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option.”

  20. Comment on Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba to resign amid fallout from disastrous elections in ~society

    Japan’s prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, is to resign less than a year after taking office, throwing the country’s politics into turmoil and setting in motion a potentially messy contest to replace him as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic party (LDP).

    Speaking to the media on Sunday evening – a day before his opponents inside the party were expected to attempt to force him out – Ishiba said he would resign to take responsibility for the election debacles, saying he wanted to avoid opening up a “decisive” split in the LDP.
