    Diplomacy at work.

    If the EU has to say some nice things about Trump to get Ukraine the resources they need to keep fighting, then it is a small price to pay

      In Germany, if you write that a former employee has always shown great afford to accomplish goals, that basically signals that he’s an idiot not able to tie his shoelaces.

      It is. But it is on another level.

      The new dilemma, do you kiss ass and get results, or not kiss ass but also don’t get resultaten.

    OK, honest thought experiment: at this point, is Trump “trying” better than America not getting involved at all? Or neutral, or worse?

      Well… putting it like this, you create some wishes 🤓

      Trump keeping himself out of certain things, yes, rather an attractive idea. But not going to happen, sadly.

      I don’t think he’ll make any difference at all and I don’t think a country threatening wars to others should have a say in any peace talks at all. He’ll just pretend to have stopped this one (if it happens) to gain more support to attack Greenland.

      Too soon to tell I think, also unclear how big the difference is between what people call it and what it actually is.
