My appearance earlier today on India's @NewsX with Joshua Barnes always asking exceptional questions and fostering a constructive debate on #Trump's foreign policy via #Russia & #Ukraine.via @YouTube 

- #Putin will not negotiate in good faith and has given no indication he's ready to stop spilling blood.

- #Trump does have enormous economic and military leverage over #Putin despite fellow panelist's claims. Manpower issue with #DPRK troops on the battlefield and a firepower issue necessitating ballistic missiles and drones from the Islamic Republic of #Iran.

- #NATO blanket needs placement over #Ukraine, there is a reason #Poland & other NATO countries were not invaded. #Putincalls foul because it takes a target off his list of possible acquisitions.

- Trump needs clear defined objectives in a war without, the only goal has appeared to be #Ukranian survival and that is why counteroffensives have failed. The #Russians have prepped the battlespace and weapons in Ukrainian hands would never roll back previously annexed gains in Donbass & Crimea.

- #Putin has bologna sliced his way through Eastern Europe that is reminiscent of #Hitler in the late 1930s. With Putin's most recent invasion of #Ukraine the West found a collective backbone, in 1939 it was the two pronged #Nazi & #Soviet division and dismemberment of #Poland.

- Any agreement should make #Putin know the days of invading sovereign nations is over...punitive measure & he needs to experience defeat.

- #Trump needs to understand immediately that #Beijing, #Moscow & #Tehran coordinate against the international order and cannot be dealt with isolated and compartmentalized.

- Pivoting back to Dr. Gilbert Doctorow who provide the audience with a FALSE BINARY NARRATIVE...do not aggrevate #Putin or you risk WWIII. We have seen tactics used by #Tehran's lobby which insisted #Americaprovide the regime a pathway to Nukes or it would be WWIII. FEARMONGERING

- Lastly, do not believe the argument #America does not have enormous leverage over Russia, it is just a matter of using it.
