Summary
Donald Trump pleaded with Vladimir Putin to stop attacking Ukraine after another set of deadly strikes rocked Ukrainian capital Kyiv, urging him to secure a peace deal.
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying…”
The Trump team has repportedly proposed a deal that would essentially grant Russia all the territory it has gained since 2014, and block Ukraine joining NATO.
Zelensky has ruled out recognizing Russia’s 2014 takeover of Crimea, a region of Ukraine, in any peace deal, warning the proposal “violated our Constitution.”
Remember when FDR tried to stop Hitler’s invasion of France by tweeting at Hitler?
What did FDR do to stop the invasion though? I thought the US sat that one out and joined the fight only after the turning point, and the European war only at the very end?
Well yeah it isn’t a perfect analogy. Replace FDR with Churchill if you want.
But also America joined the war in December 1941 so it wasn’t at the very end. And sent a huge amount of equipment to England and Russia, like was done for Ukraine under Biden.
Wouldn’t it have been Chamberlain not Churchill in this case?
Chamberlain was PM under the policy of appeasement, so it would be more apt, yes.
