In a recent statement, Donald Trump said this about Ukraine:
“Any deal — the worst deal — would’ve been better than what we have now,” Trump said. “If they made a bad deal it would’ve been much better. They would’ve given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years.”
Of course, Trump is suggesting that Ukraine concede to the invasion from Russia and give up more of their territory as a concession towards peace. Besides the fact that this approach already proved a total failure in 2014 when Putin invaded the Crimea, part of the Ukraine, and commandeered it for Russia, and no one did anything because it was considered he would stop there, of course he didn’t - and eight years later he invaded Ukraine again.
Trump, besides being utterly naive about the mentality of a dictator such as Vladimir Putin, is casually suggesting that an entire nation of free people should just hand over a chunk of their nation to the maniacal dictator.
I would like to suggest that since Donald Trump considers this an acceptable “solution” for the Ukraine people, that on the same token, he should be willing to hand over Alaska to the Russians, since Putin wants it so badly - and in so doing, ameliorate tensions between the two nations. I am certain that the American people would agree with having a large part of their country carved out and handed over to a dictator to “avoid” the possibility of conflict. Right?
So, what do you say, Trump - sound reasonable to you? Is that a platform you could sell to your following? Would that win you a seat in the Oval? Or would the American people see you for the hypocrite you are?
