    Mutual aid for? Just to remind of context, NATO is menacing Russia, not the other way around. Russia marched into LPR, DPR and Ukraine only after NATO threat of adding Ukraine. Btw at first LPR and DPR were recognized as independent by Russia before being integrated into the federation

      NATO is only as menacing to Russia as the U.S. Now that the Russians have a man inside the U.S. they don’t have to worry about anything.

            This might be shocking to you, but when one side is winning a war, they get terms of surrender favorable to them, because otherwise they can usually press the attack and force the other side’s hand even more. That doesn’t make Trump a Russian agent by any stretch, he’s a typical Statesian doing Statesian things

            Generally when you lose a war that’s what happens. You have to accept the terms dictated by the winner.

              So Trump lost the war, I’d like to hear him say that. Why else would he be the one to give in to the demands of the aggressor?

                It’s good that you recognize that this is a proxy war between NATO and Russia which NATO lost.
