Trump imposes exorbitant tariffs on China and China retaliates by cutting its purchases of US soybeans. Trump relaxes Chinese tariffs and China pledges to step up purchases of US soybeans. Then Trump tried to take credit for China’s soybean-purchase pledge. Like the arsonist on the fire brigade.

He says there all “great talks”. Who can forget that “perfect” phone conversation he had with Zelenskyy during his first term that got him impeached for the first time? He’s never forgiven Zelenskyy for not giving him dirt on the Bidens. That’s why he wants Ukraine neutered by the Russians.

It’s all about the oil. Chevron will go back in and rebate X% of their revenues from Venezuelan oil to the US Treasury. This will bring oil prices down at the margin and provide a slush fund for the administration to dole out to its favorite constituents.

The US is a great power in decline. It is fiscally bankrupt. Even if it wanted to, it can no longer afford to militarily protect its Western allies. Regrettably, the European project is imploding because of nationalism. These are the most dangerous geopolitical times in the post WWII era.

What could the US compromise on? How about granting permanent-resident status with a path to citizenship to any Ukrainian who wants to emigrate to the US. It’s the least that could be done for selling out Ukraine.

The plan needs one more point. Any Ukrainian who wants to can emigrate to the US with permanent-resident status and a pathway to citizenship.
