Marty,
I don't have a solution. That's not my job. We have politicians. It's their job. I personally think it would have been good to have brought everybody involved to a table and talk. As far as I know, so far only Trump and Putin have talked. A possible solution could have been, give Russia what they've already taken and have them pay for it with the frozen assets and let European troops secure the new border between Ukraine and Russia. All America would have had to do is secure the border by selling the necessary weapons to Ukraine and Europe, no American troops. Something like that might have worked. But unfortunately not anymore. Trump said America will stop supporting Ukraine. That was the best thing that could have happened to Russia. Now it's just a question of time when Russia will get all of Ukraine. Even if Zelensky signs the deal, there is no border security defined. Russia will take what they think is theirs. Only the Western countries WITH America could have stopped Russia. Putin now knows America has given up on Ukraine. Marty, it's over. Trump wants to treat Russia as if nothing ever happened. Putin can now go after the next countries on his list, knowing America doesn't care. That's what my song was about. Trump blew it. For some reason many Americans don't understand what just happened. We don't have to discuss this anymore. It ended on Friday.

After what happened here, it will be interesting to see what happens when China takes over Taiwan. China will be backed by Russia, Iran and North Korea. Will America still have allies or will they have to fight it out on their own? According to the "Taiwan Relations Act" America will have to defend Taiwan. Many experts say Taiwan will lead to the next World War.
