Exactly! I might be able to write a more specific answer later but this is so on point and Putin had it all planned from the beginning. Crimea was the first of his goals to get the old USSR back and then some. His plans are long term and exceeds him. Putin and trump are like Pinky and the Brain!

I'm from the uk and don't believe the American people want to abandon Ukraine and make their old American allies totally vulnerable to Putin! Just one very sick, pathetic old psychopath needing to be stroked by another old pathetic psychopath.

Trump and also his cohorts are killing America and endangering the rest of the world. You must stop him, or get real support to Ukrain another way. PLEASE.

We have to get rid of this Administration ASAP. We are working on it. In the meantime as regards Ukraine, the UK and the Euros have to step up and be strongly against this plan with credible threats of their own. Trump is malleable.

This is one of those geopolitical moments that feels like having an out of body experience. Would this deal even suggest “peace” in the context of any prize? What a wackadoodle event in history.
