    Vlad has the advantage here - already has a large
    military machine in-place, a foothold, is (despite
    huge losses he doesn't give a shit about) slowly
    winning.

    Trump made it SOUND easy (hey, that's the rule of
    stump speeches) but it ain't. All Vlad has to do
    is delay and delay until ...

    'Sanctions' don't seem to be much good anymore.
    Russia has forged multiple deals with China/NK
    and biz deals even with our 'friend' India and
    NON-friend Iran, his economic engine is safe.
    The time for truly crippling sanctions was
    much earlier-on, and Joe+EU weren't up for it,
    Vlad's energy-addiction scheme was successful.

    Russia could obliterate Ukraine in a matter of days, if not hours.
    Yea, Russia started this, at least the latest conflict, under Biden who claimed as long as it was a minor incursion it would be alright.
    HELLO!

    Ukraine is corrupt.
    Highly corrupt.

    This needs to end with a peace settlement agreeable to all.

    And yea, I have no doubt Putin is chomping at the bit to invade other countries.
    Since EU are weak, Trump needs to lay down the law.
    Pull that kind of crap and there will be consequences.
    And this should be done behind closed doors between Putin and Trump so both
    can save face.

    I do believe Trump and Putin do have a mutual respect for each other despite differences in policy.
    Unlike Germany in WW2, Russia has plenty of land and resources to expand.
    Yea, a lot of it is frozen but it's still land.

    Bottom line settle this so the world can get back to BAU and rebuild.

    LOL!

    When has Trump EVER cared about that?

    He retreated from Syria, he retreated
    from Sudan, he retreated from Afghanistan,
    he kissed up to Russia and Saudi Arabia
    and Turkey and N Korea at EVERY opportunity.

    His entire foreign policy is Retreat and
    Surrender.




    In surprise summit concession, Trump says
    he will halt Korea war games
    June 12, 2018

    President Donald Trump made a stunning
    concession to North Korean leader Kim
    Jong Un on Tuesday about halting military
    exercises, pulling a surprise at a summit
    that baffled allies, military officials
    and lawmakers from his own Republican Party.

    At a news conference after the historic
    meeting with Kim in Singapore, Trump
    announced he would halt what he called
    "very provocative" and expensive regular
    military exercises that the United States
    holds with South Korea.
