Some interesting ideas from Sir Alex Younger, former head of MI6:
Trump and Putin
Younger: “Trump and Putin talk about different things. Trump thinks this is about territory, about giving land to Russia in exchange for peace. But it’s not about territory—Putin has said it’s about sovereignty.
The existence of Ukraine as a sovereign and free country was an unacceptable affront to Russian security. He will not stop until Ukraine ceases to be a country. And that is a completely different conversation.”
Totally right. And Trump is only doing this to make Europe strengthen its own military. Trump wants to focus on China.
