   I've often said that Trump changes his stance every two to four weeks. He has   
   currently shifted to being extremely pro-Russia.   
      
   Today, he will meet with EU leaders, and I can already predict that it will   
   lead to nothing.   
      
   Then, on Friday, he will have his meeting with Putin in Alaska, which Trump   
   apparently thinks is in Russia.   
      
   That meeting will also amount to very little because Putin will make demands,   
   and Trump is only looking out for himself.   
      
   Trump will make promises about things he can't control. This isn't Sudetenland   
   in 1938.   
      
   I'm afraid that Ukraine will have to continue the war because a ceasefire will   
   only postpone a future conflict. If there's a ceasefire, Russia will continue   
   to arm itself while the West focuses on economic growth again.   
      
   In short, Russia will build an army that a few Ukrainian farmers can no longer   
   defeat.   
      
   Only Poland, Finland, and the Baltic States seem to fully understand this.   
      
   As unpleasant as it may be, it is better to fight the war with Russia now for   
   a decisive victory than to stop now and face a newly armed Russian army in a   
   few years.
