Trump/Ukraine, What Will He Do?

[Khandro]

German media asks H.R. McMaster for a guess. I find this interesting, do you?

Using military strength to stop Putin is a good start, but for a longer-lasting peace in Ukraine, the restoration of good fellowship is more important.

Trump will force Zelensky to cede land

Do you think 'good fellowship' is possible; or even desirable with Putin, the complete psychopath? He's a bully and like most bullies, he's a coward, and cowards usually back down when stood up against.

I think Trump has a very clear assessment of him - judging character is something he excels at.

Trump associates with call-girls for chrissakes

Maybe you could expand on your thoughts, Khandro, on the perceptive skills of the Toucher In Chief.

No one knows for sure because he won't say what his plan is. But his reticence to clarify gives many a concern he won't support a return of all Ukrainian land.

Without that the conflict won't stop, but will be harder for Ukrainian freedom fighters. But demanding the invaded land is returned will ensure Putin refuses; that is until he is replaced by his party and other powerful Russian individuals.

That could take a while though given the present restriction on Ukraine's use of donated weaponry. While Ukraine fights with one hand tied behind it's back, Russia has less incentive to do the right thing.
