Ukraine Russian will end in June 2025
Date June 9 2023
Then Ukraine war can only end in one way stalemate. Ukraine can not and will never
invade or conquer Russia or even set soldiers on Russian soil, they neither have the
manpower nor will NATO allow the attack on a Nuclear power. Nor has Russia
demonstrated the ability to conquer Ukraine out right.
So there are only the questions of when and the terms of the peace deal.
The when is easy I personally think it will happen 6 months after the 2025 United States
presidential election. So about June 2025. Why? because Biden will lose the election to
Trump and Trump is all about the deal. He has shown his weakness in the face of Russia
so much so that there are actually running joke. I think
that he will frame his intervention as him being a statesman and bring peace and an end
to the war, I am sure that this will be celebrated with his base. And NATO will follow
whatever the US does.
The terms of the deal as far as the land, and the borders will probably be whatever the
military line of control is on the ground while the deal was made. If I was to put money
on it I would say Russia should hold on to most of Crimea, even if there is any sort of
gain of land in the Crimea then part of the peace deal will give control of military sea
bases for the Black Sea and its defendable land and some sort of connection to Russia.
To the east, this is the battle zone Ukraine will fight Russia taking back some of the land
while Russia would keep some. The long-term goal of any Ukrainian military
commander is to capture and hold as much of this land as possible.
To NATO or not to NATO that is the question do you allow Ukraine to join NATO? I
have no idea. I know Russia will not like it and ironically enough one of the reasons that
Russia would have had to invade Ukraine was to prevent it from joining NATO but has
had the opposite effect causing countries like Finland and Sweden to want to join NATO
too. My money is that it will probably be some kind of buffer state between NATO and
Russia, but that is a strategic decision that is not easy to predict. However, Ukraine
would probably be allowed to join the
EU if its economy is in line with EU standards.

Khushoo' In Salah - Great Story Of Silah Ibn Ashyam (Student Of Ibn Abbas) and The Lion
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was narrated that Ja'far ibn Zayd al-'Abdi said, "We went out on campaign to Kabul [the capital of Afghanistan today] looking forward to conquest it, and among the army was Silah ibn Ashyam. When the darkness of the night spread while we were on our way, the soldiers stopped to eat and then they sought some rest. I followed Silah to see what he will do, so he did the same, and he went to sleep as they all did…" He used to do so out of sincerity; Silah did not want to make any noises while he heads to offer his night prayers. "I said to myself, 'Is this Silah who is known by his worshiping at night to such an extent that his feet get swollen?' Then I decided to watch him all night to see what he will do.
When the other soldiers fell in deep sleep, Silah left his bed and started walking away from the camp disguised by darkness, then he entered a lush jungle covered with wild grass on which no man set a foot for a long time. I decided to follow him, and upon reaching a far spot in that wood, he headed towards Qiblah, offered Takbeer and started his prayer. I looked at his face and all I saw was a radiant moon, a calm body and a tranquil soul. He seemed to find affability in estrangement, closeness to Allah in being away from people and brightness in the dark night. As he continued offering his Salah, a big lion approached him from the east side of the wood, and I felt as if my heart was dislocated from its place out of fear till the lion was few steps away from Silah. By Allah, he did not flinch away from his Salah, or give the lion any attention, so when he prostrated, I said to myself, "Now the lion will pounce upon him", but when he raised his head from Sujood and sat, the lion stood before him as if it was checking him out, Silah looked at the lion in complete calmness, and he uttered few words with his tongue which I could not hear…" It seems that he sought refuge with Allah from this lion. "Suddenly, the lion turned around and went away just like it came."
"When the Fajr came, Silah offered Fajr and started praising Allah in words I have never heard before. He said, 'O Allah I ask You to ransom me from Hellfire, for will the like of me dare to ask You (for) Paradise?'. Then, he went back to the camp in a state as though he had spent the night on his mattress so that they would think that he spent the night sleeping as they did. So I returned to my bed, and woke up in a state of laziness and tiredness."
