In some ways, Trump has already devastated Ukraine in the USA. He has taken his "deal" that under any other administration would be seen as appeasing a dictator and selling out a democracy, and had it repackaged by the herd as a necessary compromise.

Cut Trump out of all talks on Russia-Ukraine relations!
1. Trump overwhelmingly supports Putin's aggression, even voting for it in the UN.
2. Trump has given no military or financial aid to Ukraine.
3. Trump issued an ultimatum to Ukraine to effectively surrender by Nov 27. /1

What we saw last week was one of the most dishonest Budgets I have ever seen.
Instead of fixing our trade with Europe and growing our economy, Labour chose more stealth taxes that will only make the cost of living crisis worse.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Important conversation. But the conclusion understates the case. It is not that handing Russia the huge territory that contains Ukraine’s best defenses would “not necessarily” bring peace. It is that so doing would guarantee a bloodier and longer war.
