Kiev Can Win All of Ukraine Back From Russia

US President Donald Trump has now declared that "Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act", labelling Russia as a "paper tiger". 

Signalling his rapprochement with Russia was over, the US president said: “Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years, a war that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win”. 

And in a post on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, he said Ukraine could get back "the original borders from where this war started" with the support of Europe and NATO, due to pressures on Russia's economy. 

His comments came after talks with Ukrainian President [V]olodymyr [Z]elensky, held after Trump had addressed the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. 

Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to end the war, but has previously warned that process would likely involve Ukraine giving up some territory, an outcome [Z]elensky has rejected. 

In his post, Trump added Ukraine could "maybe even go further than that", but did not specify what he was referring to. 

He said his position had changed "after getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia military and economic situation".

I'm dumbfounded!

Trump is so divorced from reality! Or is he? 

I would like to believe he's aware Ukraine is losing but he wants to goad the country to continue fighting. After all, he gets to continue to supply weapons and make tons of money. In other words, he wants to have the cake and eat it.

And so, his bellicose ebullition ensures the war carries on and there'll be no peace in Ukraine!

I guess, to him, Ukraine be damned!
