On 27 February 2025, I was on Judge Napolitano’s show — “Judging Freedom” — where he and I concentrated on examining what Trump is doing with regard to settling the Ukraine War.
Zelensky was a fool for believing Biden and trusting the US. Realists need to bang the drums louder than neocons did to seed their theories. Don't expect help frOm this Administration! While agreeing with your analysis, I point to the purile, threatening and destructive Trump/Vance tirade against Zelensky today. Who wants to see their President play bully with another head-of-state and violate even the most basic rules of diplomacy? I doubt anyone but a small, hard core fraction of his own supporters. They have no clue how blemished US credibility is at this point. It was disgusting.
