The US is working to a quick timetable to push through the deal, which appears to heavily reflect many of Moscow’s demands.

    Really the question is why? I feel like a good end is better than just a quick end. Obviously the answer is, that for many reasons, this asshole believes a quick end will get him the best end for his perspective.

      100%. Ukraine would be stupid to sign this, unless their military situation is truly desperate. The basic treaty is Russia gets no more penalties, they keep everything they captured, Ukraine never joins NATO, Ukraine’s military is limited to 600k people, and there’s no concrete guarantee against further Russian aggression on any other country. And if Russia goes after after Ukraine again in a few years when they rearm, they don’t seem to be any hard guarantees for Ukrainian security.

      As an American I have no idea WTF our president is thinking. Russia has stated ambitions to reconquer former USSR territory, Ukraine steps up to fight and die to stop it and all they need is ammunition which is the bargain of the fucking century for the rest of the world. Meanwhile we have this golden goose opportunity against Russia and our priority seems to be let’s cook it as quickly as possible.

        He’s a traitor working for Putin. How is that anything less than perfectly obvious, at this point?

          He is a sociopathic narcissist working for himself, and Pootie just has dirt on him.

            Nah, that implies he’s only betraying us because he’s being coerced and would do right otherwise. Trump is too much of a fanboi of Putin for me to buy that.
