Lessons From the Ukraine - How Russian History Teaches Why Former Soviet Operative Outwits the West

Reader comment on item: Middle East Geopolitics
in response to reader comment: Former Soviet Overtones in Russian Pushback of NATO Influences in Ukraine

The comments from former President Trump being extremely misguided, they nevertheless express in sarcastic terms how badly the 46th Administration's leadership, including the Chief Executive Officer, have allowed the American military to be duped for reasons that no rational frame of thought can express. The Ukraine is a bad international business deal gone bad and America is now being used to clean it up at American taxpayers' expense. The Ukraine situation was tainted long before President Trump was exposed to its travesty and there is now not enough blood and treasure on either side of the equation to keep the self-delusional malefactors from spending munitions and inwitting lives in repeats of imperial wanton waste.
As inappropriate as former President Trump's sarcastic comments are, he's no longer the Chief Executive that's wrapping the American economy up in American taxpayer's bailout of a bad Hunter business deal.
