Why should a country which has been unlawfully invaded make concessions to the invader? Do you hand over your possessions to a thief just to get him to leave your house?

I dont think anyone knows what Trump is going to do, least of all Trump himself.

If Trump lifts the sanctions it will show the World that Americans are supporting Russia.
Most of the war efforts are directed via sanctions. In Europe, we can help with weapons but we need America to enforce the sanctions

You can be sure that Trump's criterion for appointing anyone is loyalty to him personally, not competency.

Trump called Scotland "home" and he still hammered Scotch whisky with tariffs. Stop saying "Special relationship" its embarrassing

This is the guy who surrendered to the Taliban and gave NK two summits which handed them the recognition they so desperately wanted. In exchange for absolutely nothing in return.

We now have two very unstable unpredictable men heading Russia and the US, does not take a genius to see this could go wrong.

The best knowledge I ever heard from an American regarding home defence was “if we don’t know what we’re doing, then the enemy don’t stand a chance”.

Pure genius love.

I wonder how Europe Will react to this New reality

[Horichdaslicht]

Trump's judgement of people depends on whether or not they flatter and agree with him. As far as I am aware, the only response from Moscow so far is to say that America is their enemy. If Putin rejects his offer, he will throw all his toys out of the pram.

What an idiot - end the war in 24hrs????

[antoninuspius]

I wish Trump could talk to Neville Chamberlain.

[DollyMiddleton-keyp]

He was never act badly toward Putin, never!

Do you think he is going to give Putin a deal ?, he is just going to leave him to do what ever he wants. Not once has he had a single critical thing to say to Putin.
