On 28 October 1940, Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas refused to surrender to Fascist Italy. He rejected Mussolini’s ultimatum with a resolute “Όχι” (“No”). The Greek people then fought heroically for their freedom and their motherland.

Tomahawks in exchange for Donbas and the “frozen line” idea will not fly
If Trump had been on Ukraine’s side, he would have supplied Ukraine with a significant number of Tomahawk missiles without asking Putin’s permission.

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has found yet another excuse not to press putin. To date the only consequences russia has faced are our long-range strikes; there should be far more of them.

This isn’t Tump’s war; it’s Biden’s war, Zelenskyy’s, and more recently Nawrocki’s.
Soon it could be Karis’s, Rinkēvič’s, Nauseda’s, Dan’s, and Stubb’s as well.
And of course, putin has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Does this mean that Trump will abandon his futile attempt to de-Nixon Russia away from China? If so, does it imply that he will instead focus on addressing the Russian problem in Ukraine, ensuring that Russia is no longer in a position to assist its Chinese masters?

Trump is very angry with Ukraine over the attacks on the “Druzhba” oil pipeline.
Yet, he imposed tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil, and in his recent post he stated, “it is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without striking at the invader’s own country.”
