The issue is far too important to entrust to one interviewer. They should have added Margaret Brennan, martha Raditz and Caitlyn Collins so they’d have an all-star imbecile panel to do the interview

Depending on what President Trump does with his pledges and promises to end the war, Putin could soon come away with a huge win of territory and the defeat of his two greatest enemies, Ukraine and NATO, to go along with all he and his military have learned about fighting in a modern war.

And all it will have cost him so far has been the stockpiles of old, obsolete soviet military hardware, convicts and criminals, a little tarnish on the world’s opinion of him and the temporary loss of some petroleum production and storage, in addition to the expected casualties and equipment losses that come with any military action.

That’s probably more than he thought it would cost him, but that’s still pretty cheap, all things considered, given all he will gain!

In the meantime, he’s transformed Russians and Russia’s economy back to being on a war footing, again, with greatly increased production of artillery shells, drones, war improved tanks and every other weapon system, while his greatest enemy, NATO, struggles to keep up and might even totally fall apart if Trump pulls the US military and support out of Europe.

If that happens, given a little time to recover and recuperate, Putin now knows he can then handily defeat and reclaim any of the border countries he wants, other than maybe Poland.

It’s now in President Trump’s hands to give the world some peace in our times deja vu all over again or maybe something better.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see which it will be.
