My guess is that Putin is just stalling, jerking Trump around.
“My guess is that Putin is just stalling, jerking Trump around.”
Putin knows what he wants and has presented his terms. The ball is in Ukraine’s court. Ukraine’s problem is reading whether there’s any movement possible in Putin’s position, so Ukraine will test the waters. These talks will probably fail initially but hopefully lead to an agreement later. Putin’s position is a hard pill for Ukraine to swallow.
Trump has to help keep the balls in the air until the two sides make a deal. He’s good at that.
I still question whether that old drunk, Kruschev, had the right to give away Crimea. The two referendums tell me where the line should be. Remember those people were not allowed to vote when "Z" was running.
Here's the latest: "Z" went out and bought a deck of cards and now thinks he can dictate the terms.
Stalling?? What would be the point?
