YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine - Sopuli

> US President Donald Trump said that the war in Ukraine has turned out to be more complicated than he expected. He noted that he had initially considered it the easiest at a Board of Peace meeting in Washington. Ok everyone I know we thought Trump was going to end the Ukraine war super fast, but Trump isn’t perfect, sometimes things are hard for him! For example remembering where he is going in a sentence or covering up evidence he is a pedophile are both things he struggles with.

I mean, I’ll admit that I figured his solution would be to simply make sure Ukraine folds to Putin within 24 hours and that hasn’t happened. It’s a bar so low that it’s just sitting on the ground, but at least he hasn’t gone that low in that way yet

Why would they fold though? This idea that Ukraine was merely a puppet that would concede to literally any demands from the US was always ridiculous.

Maybe my wording wasn’t great, but I’m thinking more along the lines of arms sales, other support, and Russian sanctions, which would make things a lot harder for Ukraine if they went away

I don’t think even that would work. He could certainly hamper the war effort but the US isn’t the only ally Ukraine has. I don’t think they would capitulate unless there was major movement on the front line and a total defeat seemed possible.
