Trump has the cards

[VitaMan]

Per Trump's card discussions, he has the cards to stop the Russian incursion of Ukraine and remove Russia from the land they have taken. Will he do it ? No because he is afraid of WW3. No one trusts Russia because they are evil.

Putin invaded Ukraine anticipating a moderate response from the west. He guessed WW3 would not begin. As the west is not evil.

Supposedly Putin is having a hard time finding troops. Eventually he will run out.

Maybe this is the time to confront evil without WW3. Let them wilter until they retreat.

Kind of between a rock and a hard place here. It's best to just keep supporting Ukraine and honor our agreement as long as Ukraine is up for it. Giving in to Putin and breaking the Budapest Memorandum will tell the world that the US can't be trusted. Russia will be emboldened to attack other countries including NATO members. Then the shit hits the fan. You think we are spending a lot now? Wait until we have to mobilize and fight to protect a NATO member under attack.

Yeah . . .he holds Aces and face cards when it comes to negotiating international stuff, but . . .

I am hoping that the House and Senate Republicans will get behind his legislative agenda as a disciplined voting block.
