America Will WALK AWAY From Ukraine And Leave It To Putin

After his meeting with Europeans and Ukraine, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Trump wanted to know soon whether a deal was even possible between Russia and Ukraine, and if not, then he would 'move on' to focus on other priorities. This move, which puts zero pressure on Russia, is an expression of the administration's growing frustration that Ukraine refuses to keel over, even when Trump gives all the cards to Putin. So how much difference will this latest threat make? Could Ukraine and Europe keep on fighting if America fully walks away? Will anybody even notice any difference? Let's discuss.

My rules for comments in this forum.

You can post your opinion freely in the comments to any of my videos. I like to engage with people on arguments and issues, although since I started doing daily videos my ability to do so is less than it was. I will, time permitting, happily engage with comments that are polite and broadly on topic for the video in question. You can still post what you want but if you want a response from me, those are the criteria. If you want to preface your biting critique with an observation of what a total idiot I am, knock yourself out, but I won't respond to those comments any more than I would if someone said that stuff in real life.

Out and out obscenities and personal abuse will be removed. Posts that are just links to other videos you want to promote will be removed. People who engage in bullying other commenters will be asked to stop if I think they are making commenting here unpleasant for others. If they refuse to stop then they'll be removed from the channel.

Real US citizen here, not some bot, who stands up for Ukraine, has donated to Ukraine and who also calls Congress every week and rallies on the streets against this administration. There are more people in the US who stand up for courage and against tyranny than those who would place the yoke on their own shoulders. Appreciate Mr. Baker’s pov and humor.

This is how we Danes see usa right now: you can't be trusted. Why? Because we watched your president stand in Congress and de facto declare war on the Kingdom of Denmark by saying he would take Greenland. Half of Congress laughed, cheered, and applauded. The other half did nothing.
What we saw was a small-minded man make a hostile declaration from a position of power — and not a single voice in Congress opposed him. So as far as we're concerned, the entire usa stood behind him. And that means we can’t trust any of you.

So much for the ending the war in 1 day

Turncoats. Never forget they are turncoats

Despite what diplomats and politicians may say in public, we Europeans are bloody well aware that Dump is not an ally. And we will not bend to Russia. We still remember the Cold War. Slava Ukraine

[ArfurFoolkesAche]

Let them go and leave the grown ups to negotiate an end to the war which recognises the legitimate interests of Ukraine as the victim of aggression and war crimes

Orange Judas twists the knife he plunged into Ukraine's back? How unexpected.

I shall end the war within 24hrs, I shall end the war in 100 day, now I am walking away. ...
History is beautiful.

I hope Ukraine cancels this deal in the future and calls Trump what he is once he is out of office. A traitor

[tamasdemeter]

Just on small thought experiment: How would Trump have avoided the war from the beginning?
He would have presented Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter even befor Feb 22.

I just hope that Americas erstwhile allies remember this the next time the US starts a war

[richardagar]

Absolutely brilliant review of the current situation shame on America shame on Trump!

[dougaltolan]

Corrrection:
Leave it to Europe, Canada, Australia and more, NOT leave it to Putin.

[phnompenhandy]

Hopefully, Europe privately spelt out to Rubio that betraying Ukraine would be perceived as betraying Europe as a whole, with the strategic and financial implications written out in crayon.

[BeareTube]

America used to have ideals, now just deals.

[JammieFortier-nvw]

so get the hell out of the way and let Ukraine win!

Remember the wall that Mexico paid for ?? No ?? Eh??

A waste of time from the start. Like Greenland and Canada, try to coerce mineral rights for cheap but give up if it gets too hard. It's not like they care about anything other than themselves.
