Fareed Zakaria: What Donald Trump Have Done Must Have Collapsed Ukrainian Morale
RUSH EXCERPT:
ZAKARIA: “Vladimir Putin wants peace with victory. In other words, he wants to win. He wants to conquer as much of Ukraine as he can. He thinks he has an advantage, which he does, given that the principal backer of Ukraine, the United States, flipped sides over the last 2 or 3 months, made a series of concessions to Russia, said, we will never have troops in Ukraine. We will not allow Ukraine to be a member of NATO. Russia can hold on to all that territory. It has a lot of war. Is is a battle of morale. And what Donald Trump has done must have collapsed Ukrainian morale. Think of it. I mean, there are only human, right? This was meant to be your chief backer. So Putin knows he has momentum on his side. And as you say, John, the simple question is what concession has Vladimir Putin made in order to allow these peace talks to happen to further any prospect of peace? And the answer is zero.”
