      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.
