What's the real issue with the Ukraine/Russia peace?

That Trump can't get Putin to agree to number of hotels and golf courses Trump will get out of it.

Isn't there already some mineral rights grab from Ukraine?

Okay, I'll try to be positive that Trump temporarily becomes sane and not going to grift some more. It's tough though.

He thinks he’s transcended politics. Midterms? Meh. He doesn’t give a toss, believing the fix is in - or will be by election time.
