Hoping for success out of Trump’s efforts, but cant’ help but wonder...is this the consequences of the 55 day warning, or the 12 day warning, or, is this a different “very severe”?

From the Irshman movie: When they say they are a little concerned, it means they are worried.

When they say they are very concerned, They are desperate.

I hope Trump does not feel desperate here to get a deal. There is little reason for Putin to give up on his conquest. I see little wiggle room so why make ultimatums that cannot be backed up.

Yeah I know Europe should have stopped Hitler when he went into the Suddeten Land and that was a prelude to his trying to gobble up all of west Europe. That was then, this is now. While there is a parallel, things are far different. IMO, the Nazis were defeated because Hitler invaded Russia, two front war. More importantly, he could do little to the US logistics considered. Different time, different situation.

The only thing I wonder about and a quote from the movie Paton is appropriate. Paton had just issued an order that no one was to come back from a battle without victory. His aide said to him, sometimes George, I cannot tell when you are blustering. Paton said, it is not important for you or anyone else to know when I am.
