and @JeffreyGoldberg cannot be this ill informed on #Ukraine. #Trump is absolutely right when he said "Ukraine could have made a deal". It was not to give up territory as Baker says. After the 2014 coup in Kiev that the West pushed, Russia supported the Minsk Agreements for 8 years which would have kept Ukraine whole by giving #Donbass limited autonomy within Ukraine. But Kiev wouldn't agree. Poroshenko & Merkel admitted they were just stringing Russia along while building up Kiev. 

Even the Istanbul tentative agreement in 2022 would have preserved more of Ukraine before the war escalated. But Biden & Johnson torpedoed it because it kept Ukraine out of NATO. The unholy alliance of Neocons & Liberal Primacists want to push US hegemony over the rest of Europe even if it means war with Russia. Trump wants peace.
