Glad to see Trump holding Zelinsky's feet to the fire, and not just throwing him money like Obummer and BiteMe did.
While I do not condone a war to seize territory, I can see how Putin has had to deal with the results of Ukraine's difficulties for years, just as the USA has had to deal with crap from both our closest neighbors, and others in our hemisphere for centuries.
If Trump is the negotiator he has been in the past, I would think Putin would back off on Ukraine if Trump helps them become a better neighbor to Russia (no NATO membership, for starters). In return, Putin may lend his influence to get the Chinese bastards out of our neighbors' business. At the very least, Putin should just stay out of Trump's efforts to secure our borders and keep gangs and drugs out of here, and at best will warn the Chinese to clean up their act or Russia will not support any Chinese blowback to US actions.
