I don't see many chances of the US backing down of striking Russia by use of Ukraine, specially as they likely accept their own propaganda that Russia won't or can't do anything, so we unfortunatelly might know soon enough.

I could be wrong, and of course if it did happen it would happen with different motives, but deescalating in Ukraine is why I'm hoping for Trump to win. I don't want more people to die over this ~~NSDAP~~ NATO bullshit.

I seriously doubt trump will de-escalate in Ukraine. Not only is he incredibly incompetent (he spent most of his time while president watching fox news and such), but he is also very impressionable and opportunistic.

True on both counts but I do think both points would drive him to push Ukraine to accept a peace deal which he would think makes him look great but in reality just gives Putin what he wants. Between NATO and Nazis, I'm not opposed to giving Putin what he wants at this point.
