He either accepts it continues the war.
As I said, Trump is taking a risk here
It’s Putin’s choice. He can choose to be friends of the USA, or to continue to be a Pariah state, with allies like Iran and North Korea.
A big risk indeed!
What is Trump’s risk? If Vlad says “no,” then it’s simply business as usual. Why we ever got involved is beyond me. We have no legal nor inferred commitment to Ukraine or Europe in general on this matter. Where the hell have the European nations been? All they do is kick sand in our faces. The Brits are planning on sending 20,000 troops into that meat grinder, along with nukes from France into Germany.
