OPINION:
I support President Trump, but I totally disagree with his handling of the Russia-Ukraine war negotiations. He’s allowing the aggressor to make demands instead of giving the aggressor an ultimatum to leave the country it invaded. Why?
The U.S. is trying to achieve peace through weakness, peace at any cost or peace through the deal, causing the aggressor to become more emboldened. This will only lead to more aggression and probably a bigger war later, like we had with Hitler in 1938 and 1939.
Board room tactics can sometimes be used when dealing with other countries, but not this one.
The U.S. is for some reason using softball negotiations with Russia. If Putin were told his oil sales would be affected by continuing his aggression, like he was told during Trump’s first term, he would be more agreeable.
This is not what we supported or voted for. This administration is playing bullyboy with everyone, friend and foe — except Putin. Why?
I hear the phrase “peace through strength” being thrown around; Ronald Reagan is probably rolling in his grave.
