GOP senators urge Trump to salvage negotiations with Zelensky

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to salvage negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in hopes of reaching a peace deal that halts Russian encroachment and possibly gives the United States access to Ukraine’s rich mineral wealth.

GOP senators say they hope Trump and Zelensky can put Friday’s heated exchange in the Oval Office behind them, recognizing that continued U.S. support for Ukraine is critical to maintaining Kyiv’s leverage in peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“The deterioration of that meeting was highly unfortunate given the stakes involved. There is no doubt that Putin was the aggressor in Ukraine and launched a brutal, unprovoked attack,” said Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine), a leading Republican voice on national security issues.

2. Reality is that Trump is a kept man...

Putin controls him and always has, since 2015 or earlier.

Ukraine would be better served to stir up European allies to replace the US in the continent entirely.
The EU should find a way to return the UK and form a solid block that opposes Putin and Trump and helps bring about a trilateral world order where they confront and neutralize Putin, and allow the Chinese to finish off the dying USA. Once the USA bankrupts, they need to have a unified presence to secure the nuclear arsenal and do so more effectively than following the break-up of the Soviet Union.

The formerly United States are really only a slight shove away from dissolving the union and leading to utter chaos. The EU would be wise to recognize it for what it is - the end of the American Empire - and plan accordingly.
