I think a lot of politicians tell themselves, "If I make this one little compromise, I can climb up to the next rung of power, where I'll finally have the power to be uncompromising." And that's never how life works.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
