Now we're selling out Ukraine?

It's not always easy to know what Donald Trump is trying to say, but this seems fairly clear: “You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way.”

Joe Biden did a runner in Afghanistan, and congratulated himself for it. Trump looks ready to do the same in Ukraine. "You should never have started it." True enough if he's speaking to Putin, but it appears he means Zelensky, whom he also calls a dictator with 4 percent approval. In fact, Ukraine's president has a higher approval rating (57%) than Trump in the most recent Rasmussen poll (53%).

This looks bad for us, for Europe, and for the world. Just as Biden gave Putin a green light to invade Ukraine, Trump is telling Xi Jinping it's okay to make a "minor incursion" into Taiwan.
