Zelensky should never have fought at this level. He can't win and Europe won't.

I heard that Putin wants Dr. Fauci. Why not give Putin Dr. F to help convince Putin of a cease fire? Also, why not just hand him to Putin as a thank you gift for not bombing the beegees out of the USA when byedon & special k were in office? Blessings.

My concern is how we perceive previous agreements between Putin and President Trump. The view that that President Trump pulled American troops out of Syria and therefore gave Putin a opening to expand Russian influence may have been the correct decision, even though it was criticized by some, particularly those more ‘hawkish toward anything Russian, but it ended up recently, that Russia aligned with the wrong group in Syria. Therefore, I have some confidence in President Trump’s strategy with Russia. I still want US to back Ukraine, where we have limited, on the ground presence. I’m in agreement to supply support for any country that fights for its own independence from a Russian and Iran back effort without causing US troops to be present. Europe needs to continue to step up in mutual support. Russia is at their doorstep, not ours. I also, as opposed to Syria/Iraq, appreciate that Ukraine has a functioning government to run their country after conflict subsides.Than

Your report seems to have missed the oil perspective: When Trump opens the spigots in America (and gets OPEC to open theirs), the price of oil will plummet. This will severely impact Russia's ability to finance their war and should increase Putin's motivation to settle the dispute.
