President Trump calls Zelensky a dictator.
Many American citizens are concerned Trumps behavior is more like a dictator.
Putin is a dictator who kills his opposition.
What is Trump's end game to help end the Ukraine conflict ? He is now threatening to cut
off Starlink internet, which would end Ukraine's ability to continue to defend itself. He is sprearheading a change in Ukraine UN resolutions. And what else ?
It looks like he wants to end Ukraine ability to fight, boost Putin in the eyes of the Russians, give Russia the ability to take 1/5 of Ukraine, and have Ukraine agree to provide a significant amount of their mineral wealth to the US in return for the previous support. Not sure if there are to be security guarantees.
Zelensky has little choice if he does not get outside support. Many EU countries have provided vast amounts of support. The German economy is struggling because of the support they provided.
Putin has been fighting for several years and only managed to take hold of 1/5 of Ukraine. He has almost a million Russians dead or wounded (not that he cares). He may take this deal.
The alternative seems to be endless trench style warfare.
