I have no source, but it totally makes sense that when they thought tscf was going to be potus, then tscf would get them all their thugs back, and they'd win in Ukraine. It was only 2 months away.
But with their thugs ageing and dying, now that it looks like tscf is NOT going to be potus, they have no incentive to wait. Possibly, they thought lame duck Biden would be easier to negotiate with than a fresh new potus, who wasn't part of all the past, but that's total speculation.
SO, as always, Nancy Pelosi and the dem leaders who promoted Kamala, and Kamala, herself, might have just saved precious american lives.
Just speculation. I know nothing.
It might go down in history as part of Biden's legacy.

(28,836 posts)We're getting way ahead of ourselves here. Outside of one poll in Michigan, which could very well be an outlier, the swing states are statistically tied. The real campaign has only just begun.
Let's not get overconfident.
I think it's just as likely that Trump was bragging about something over which he has no real control. Just like he says the Ukraine war would be over immediately should he win.

(1,234 posts)What does TSCF stand for? I assume "TS" are "the sick," and I can guess the "F" is for "fuck," so what is the "C"?
Crazy? Codger? Clansman? Custard-brain?

(24,207 posts)Putin knows Trump would hand over Ukraine for these prisoners, that was the deal he wanted. But he wasn't going to wait anymore since Trump is probably an underdog now.
