re: #60 Nyet

Not a fair point. No matter how you see the West’s reaction (getting into war was never an option, OK?), it still took Ukraine’s side. Trump will take Putin’s side just for the heck of it. So your formulation is MBF.

I don’t get the MBF part. My point was about existing conditions not Trump per se. As in already betrayed. Maybe that’s too strong a word. I can see that. Heh my first reaction to your comment about the second day was were you sure he would wait that long. But the way Putin has been able to flex his muscles in Ukraine is a real shame.
