## Resource

This spring members Q&A covered the topics many of you have been asking about for months. We discussed the future of U.S. support for Ukraine, whether Donald Trump could ever shift his position if Ukraine gains momentum, Putin's long-term prospects, the condition of Russia's economy, and whether the war can realistically continue into 2026 and beyond.We also explored the possibility of political change inside Russia, what could happen after Putin, the role of NATO, the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, and how political polarization is shaping public understanding of the war.As always, the goal is not to tell you what to think, but to provide context, examine evidence, and think through the implications of current events.Chapters00:00 Welcome and Spring Board Meeting02:12 Ukraine Aid, Congress, and Trump's Position08:12 Trump, Putin, and the Question of Influence16:16 Could Trump Change if Ukraine Starts Winning?18:16 Trump, Leadership, and Political Psychology25:30 Midterms, Congress, and America's Political Future30:02 Can Ukraine Outlast Russia?33:13 Russia's Economy and the Future of the War37:58 What Happens If Putin Falls?43:29 NATO, Ukraine, and Long-Term ScenariosHashtags#Ukraine #Russia #Putin #Trump #Zelensky #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #NATO #Geopolitics #QandAFacts over noise.
