I have zero faith that Trump and Vance will do anything that favors ongoing world peace and/or limiting Russian Aggression, instead I believe Trump and Vance will serve their own interest by selling out Ukraine and baking up a scheme that will gain favor of their Russian buddies, who control an amazing amount of wealth for a country with such a high poverty rate.

How long till we send troops into Ukraine? I don't mean as allies. Reagan is spinning in his grave. (Don't get me wrong, a grave is where he belongs, but he'd be pretty burned about this)

Trump said one thing thats true, “You’re in a bad position right now, and you don’t have the cards…”, Ukraine doesn’t have the economy to put up a lasting ongoing fight with Russia, especially if they’re getting troop support from North Korea

 I think we should pour every surplus American weapon we have and donated to Ukraine immediately and then we need the pressure people who purchase oil and natural gas for my ran and Russia and forced them into some sort of economic sanction  Then we need to take all the F 35s that we paid billions and billion dollars and development money for and deploy them to the eastern European sector and put up a no fly zone

But, I am just an internet shit poster who got banned from Reddit.

Isn't this totally ignoring the geopolitical position of Ukraine though? They're a bulwark against (physical) Russian aggression toward the EU. Abandoning that puts a strain on US relations with the rest of the world, by design. What happens after this? Russia isn't going to suddenly stop trying to colonize areas next to them.

Instead of being a great "business deal" for the US, it's pushing the rest of the world away, forcing the US to use bully tactics and physical threats rather than actual diplomacy because Trump can only see it as zero-sum, or more likely is intentionally sabotaging our relationships.

I suppose actually understanding nuance and the consequences of your actions are not something he is capable of, though.

You're not looking at the bigger picture here. Trump might have an opportunity to have a hotel in Moscow license his name and put it on the side of the building.

You're 100% correct. This is the appropriate action we should take.
