    Could be fun. Trump has already proven that he will do anything to get a ceasefire (on paper…) when he practically abandoned the Ukrainians, his allies. Now that it’s the Russians who are standing in the way of his goal, I’m curious to see if he’ll bring out the big guns (literally).

      He will call Putin a “smart guy” and “advise” Ukraine to agree to all Russian demands.
