It does appear that Trump has given in to Putin and will advise Ukraine to give away a great deal of land for peace in the short term.
Putin is not a general by any stretch of the imagination. He was ill prepared for his invasion and knew little of his enemy. In three years he has achieved only take a few areas that had a Russian speaking population in the Donbas. The destruction he has wrought onto Ukraine has been huge and will require unbelievable amounts of money to restore. Putin will now want the whole Donbas areas that he has failed to conquer, to be given to him for a promised peace of sorts. He'll be back for more though because of the minerals in the Donbas and the agricultural areas in Ukraine.
Putin took Zelensky as a theatrical turned politician , which he is of course. And similarly Zelensky isn't a general either. But as soon as Putin invaded it was clear he wasn't going to leave empty handed, or losing face. That just is not his way of doing things.
Putin was a street urchin advancing to thug and trained in the KGB we are told in the UK press. He doesn't do deals, he takes what he wants. Opponents apparently have a desire of diving out of tall buildings. He is alleged to have amassed close to $200 billion and will remain in power for ever. Those coming behind are possibly not quite as friendly as Putin it is said. I doubt that DLT quite understood him.
Ukraine will fall into Russian hands this year, or if not within five years. Hopefully the "West" will not fund the restoration of Ukraine before Putin comes back again for another try.
Apart from the low to poor standard of politicians in Europe and the UK, another problem may be the huge numbers of recent immigrants. Will they fight for or against the country in which they reside if this situation develops into a larger conflict?
This week may give us some indications of the future but it isn't looking good at all.
