So, who’s gambling with World War III now? With every random, poorly thought out reaction to the Ukrainian situation in Europe, the Trump administration’s decision to reduce support to Ukraine has clearly emboldened Putin who knows his offensives will be far more effective now that Ukraine cannot “see them coming”. When Europe’s enemy is emboldened their anxieties and security concerns rise, tensions mount and the prospects for a broader conflict rise dramatically. Since pulling US satellite data sharing from Ukrainian military intelligence the Russians have effectively murdered nearly 2 dozen people in just 2 days. Is this genius diplomacy? How you broker “a deal” for a cease-fire? Opposition parties love to toss out the term failed policies. If this isn’t a failed policy resulting in blood on your hands, Mr. Trump, I don’t know what is. A shameful disrespect for humanity!
