Your point about the Ukraine is also well made, and of course they're not alone, it seems implausible that the EU and the UK will sit back and let Trump stitch up the Ukraine, and save Putin's blushes.(Yesterday at 4:28 am)Belacqua Wrote: And Zelensky isn't invited to the grown-ups' table.
If you think Trump is a "grown-up", you appear lacking when it comes to character insight.
And if you think peace in Ukraine can be had without Ukraine's buy-in, you're a bigger fool than you seem.
Rightly demanding that the other NATO members contribute equitably is one thing, ignoring them and pretending he (Trump) can settle this with Putin alone, is quite another. Though Putin must be think his birthday and xmas have all come at once, no wonder the Russians were eagerly trying to influence the US presidential election in Trump's favour.
