You have any idea what the metro population of London, Paris and Toronto
are compared with the total population of the UK, France and Canada?
Trump/Zelensky deal turns into Jerry Springer episode

are compared with the total population of the UK, France and Canada?
It's disrespectful for Zelensky not to wear a suit when he's attending the White House. Trump can't take Zelensky seriously when Zelensky is wearing a track suit.....LMAO
I have strongly disagreed with Munich 1938 comparisons. The Ukraine defended their government and their sovereignty. Russia has paid a terrible price. Now's the time for a ceasefire.
You want facts. A ceasefire was not the negotiation at Munich in 1938.
Here is an objective exercise on what constitutes "appeasement" for everyone. We all know there are three possible outcomes. The Russians pack up and leave the Ukraine one way or another. Ukraine collapses. Or lastly, a negotiated ceasefire leaves Russia with Ukrainian territory. If this war is fought for another two-three years and the stalemate continues, would negotiating a ceasefire still be considered "appeasement" then?
(There's no right answer.)
Just an observation, but doesn't the Russian/Ukrainian conflict bear the same hallmarks or contours of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?
If so, isn't the American position on both conflicts irreconcilable?

Zelensky's Ukraine compared with Israel is dispensable to the U.S.
I think Ukraine may turn out to be even more dispensable than South
Vietnam. Richard Nixon at least doggedly adhered to a timetable of
gradual and orderly withdrawal of U.S.'s involment in the conflict
so as to allow South Vietnam to strengthen defence on its own.
Ukraine will be abandoned by the U.S. like South Vietnam. And I doubt
a win of the Democratic party in the 2028 presidential election
will alter fundamentally America's policy towards Ukraine. Even under
Biden the war was intended to benefit the U.S. at the expense of
Europe. Trump's objective is not about ending the war itself. It is
more about ending the war on the battlefield and leave Ukraine to
Europe so as to allow the U.S. to turn to China and to reap more profits
from a cold war between Russia and Europe.
I am so fascinated by the ability and talent of so many people to be able to come up with videos like this one!
I often agree with about 2/3rds or maybe even 89% of the content of your posts.
But you are giving Donnie wayyyyyyy too much credit. His negotiating style is predictable and single transactional thought put into it. He has no such complex thoughts in his head.
You miss the point, the changes from this meeting are global and resulting in massive shifts in alliances.
The US continues to bumble along thinking isolationism is the ticket.
Not really, Hamas kidnapped people. Putin knows his time is running out on unifying the soviet union.
The problem is this is not America's position, it's Trump's position.
For some crazy reason some think a crooked real estate developer is an expert on Russian relations.
He just wants to be able to say that he ended the war and "saved" Ukraine.
And that he secured the biggest and most beautiful "raw earth" mineral deal that the world has ever seen.
Just bonus narcissist points.
There is no doubt left, that based on observing his actions and words that he was compromised by Russia a long time ago. Is he the ultimate sleeper?
I don't think its isolationism. Its reshoring and I think its less confrontation. But we shall see.
