It didn't confuse me. I knew it was unrealistic and said so right here weeks ago. The russians are resolute that they will never leave the 4 eastern provinces of Ukraine. They are resolute that Ukraine will never join NATO. UKRAINE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO RUSSIA'S NATIONAL SECURITY. No threats by Trump to continue to re-arm Ukraine will scare the russians.
Cracks are starting to appear in the NATO armor. Yugoslavia and Croatia now have big problems with Ukraine. The conservatives are now the most popular party in the UK, it won't be long until they take over. Same thing is happening in Germany. The EU is buying russian oil from India and Turkey so they can say they aren't importing oil from Russia. They know that in the long run they are fucked without Russian oil.
We'll see what Trump does when Ukraine needs to re-arm again. Nothing NATO can do will get the Russians to abandon the occupied territories. The only way to peace is for Ukraine to stand down.
If Trump really wants peace in Ukraine he'll have to put a squeeze play on Zelenskey, not Putin.
