Holy crap! Trump had a Win-Win situation with threatening Ukraine. Either they dream up info on Bidens to help trump get re-elected, or they'd not be able to defend themselves, so Putin wins, with trump's help.

(34,661 posts)Ukraine would let Russia have the territory they have taken via invasion under similiar pretenses used by Germany in their taking over Sudetenland pre WW2.
Oh and if you pull your troops back I will give you 400 million as your prize money. Any doubts,ask Vladimir.

(1,988 posts)That this would end with a plot between Putin and Trump for Russia to get into Ukraine(though I said full invasion). I suspect Putin already told Trump he is invading in 2020.
There had to be a connection in this to help Russia. tRump's allegiance is to putin.

(25,183 posts)relatively speaking. Then, it's not the case of having Ukraine dig up dirt to screw with our election, it's about making a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. Much of the eastern half of Ukraine speaks Russian as a primary language.
Giving money and military aid to get land concessions is nothing new. If the US gave such assistance to Israel to cede land for a Palestinian state, you'd see a lot of folks here cheering that on.

tRump released it this way so that he can have his cake and eat it too. Say he is defending Ukraine while shaking it for his election campaign. Helps buddy Pootie too!
