   KW>Two things stuck out at me - When Zelenskyy said, in pretty good English   
     >that if you don't deal with Russia in Ukraine, you'll deal with them at   
     >your doorstep, and it felt like Trump saw that as an opening to distort   
     >that and go on the offensive, saying "You don't tell me what to do".   
     >That seemed like an intentional escalation, not a misunderstanding.   
      
   KW>Secondly, when Trump described Zelenskyy's strategy as "not good   
     >business", it rang hollow. Governing a people is *not* a business.   
      
   No, and if you let more powerful countries just walk in and take   
   over smaller countries, eventually they will get bigger than you   
   and you might be next. Everyone is pussy footing around worrying   
   about starting WW3 but that attitude has left Ukraine with nothing   
   but financial aid. Granted, a lot of it, but if you play at an   
   extended little war, it costs a lot more than a bigger fast one.
