Wow, that guy can talk. The way he explains it sounds pretty good, doesn’t it. You asked me for my opinion. Think of it this way. Assume Mexico would use military force and take control over parts of Texas. America would fight back and there would be heavy losses on both sides. After 3 years a European leader would step in and say this war must end. Too many innocent people have lost their lives. The solution: America would have to give up parts of Texas and pay Europe for finally achieving peace. That is basically what Rubio is suggesting in Ukraine. Ukraine is so rich, they don’t need any financial help for rebuilding. Russia now “owns” the parts that were totally destroyed. It will cost Russia a fortune to rebuild those areas. Another thing that Rubio doesn’t mention is that the valuable minerals are on the Russian side of Ukraine. Trump has to strike a deal with Russia if he wants those minerals. I have no idea how that is going to work and i don't understand what the final deal will look like. In WW2 Germany had to pay huge amounts of money to other countries that they destroyed. Germany was the aggressor. Trump wants Ukraine to pay. That’s why he says that Ukraine started the war. Another BIG lie. We all know they didn’t. All they did was defend themselves. But Rubio did a great job on making a bad deal for Ukraine sound good, especially for the Americans. My song looks at what is going on from a different perspective, a European perspective. I mentioned that. One more thing: history shows that it’s impossible to make deals with Russia. Ukraine did in the 90s. They handed over all their nuclear weapons to Russia. Both sides signed a contract. What a mistake.

Russia forced their own troops, untrained 16-year old kids, to walk through Ukraine fields without cover so they could see where the Ukraine soldiers were hiding when they shot the Russian kids down. When they ran out of their own kids they used North Koreans. Human life is not worth much in Russia. I wasn't there but the BBC and other news channels explained the Russian war tactics.

I would enjoy talking more about the song and less about politics.

All the best - Robert
