I know many, especially here... are upset about the situation in Ukraine.

3. Putin will never accept that last bit

The part, you know, about Ukraine EXISTING.

I live to be surprised but I don’t see these “negotiations” going anywhere. Nothing short of total capitulation and a puppet “government” will be acceptable to Putin and I suspect that is what Ukraine expects to hear when they get to the table.

Oh, and what about reparations? You know, for all the unwarranted destruction inflicted on Ukraine by Russia. Would Putin ever even admit to that being an issue? As if Russia would fork over any funds to be spent on a sovereign Ukraine over which they have no control and is defended by the West.

This situation is disgusting.

We’ll see if Trump is anything more than Putin’s wingman in these talks. We hold several hundred billion dollars in Russian assets, Will we tell Vlad that money goes to rebuilding Ukraine? I doubt it. And if I’m right these talks will go nowhere.
