I watched in admiration the speech given by President Zelensky regarding the war in Ukraine between his country and Russia; and thought If ever a phrase is relevant it’s the one ‘between a rock and a hard place; the rock being Putin and the hard place being Donald Trump
Now America is forming a peace plan without the involvement of Ukraine.
Even before President Trump was elected he stated that he would end the war in twenty-four hours; well that didn’t happen, but if he gives Russia everything they ask for, which is all the land they have gained, then a sort of peace may happen. but Putin won’t stop at that; over the last few years, he has built up a massive army and munition supply chain and has been rewarded for being a dictator. America has put a lot of money and resources into helping Ukraine and logically Trump is correct to say the EU should be the one to supply the greatest assistance, for far too long Europe and the UK have not taken security seriously enough.
Remember what happened when Germany started to threaten their immediate neighbors in the nineteen thirties? No one thought Hitler would ever invade. They did. We have short memories.
