I like Trump, but his comments on Ukraine worry me.
Fine, we all agree, it wouldn’t have happened on Trump’s watch.
But it did happen, it happened on Biden’s watch. And appeasement is not a good idea.
For one, the areas that Russia still occupies are rich in natural resources. Letting Russia keep those resources, rewards Russia for their aggression.
And it hurts Europe and the rest of the world by giving Russia even more of a monopoly over oil gas, and grain than they had before. Not to mention the weapons and steel factories that Russia gains if they keep their current occupied territories.
Appeasement would also undermine international law. Why should anyone respect international law if Russia is allowed to violate it.
“And it hurts Europe and the rest of the world by giving Russia even more of a monopoly over oil gas, and grain than they had before”...
This Cold War Warrior agrees with your assessment.
Russia should never be rewarded...!
