I would hardly call attempting to end a war in the Ukraine “bullying”.

Would you be surprised that America still continues to import stuff from Russia which it cannot buy elsewhere - Uranium, Palladium, Fertlisers and some Chemicals.

It is mighty hypocritical of Trump to not stop these purchases and stop Europe from buying far more energy than India does. Even Japan imports some energy from Russia. And no mention of China which imports more than all the rest put together.

China must be thrilled. Trump is scared of Chinese retaliation. The Quad is over (almost). No one to challenge it in the South China Sea if Trump is so averse to war. 2 members of the Quad don't even have US ambassadors as yet.

We live in interesting times.
