I think so too. This is one foreign policy issue where he's been pretty consistently good.
reply
No, he's been saying from the beginning that we shouldn't be supporting it. Also, instead of talking about it like a sporting match and obsessing over who wins, he's talked about wanting the killing to stop.
I'm not saying he has some brilliant analysis, but the bar has been set pretty low.
reply
Exactly, he has been talking about it, but no action at all. If he really cared, he'd already done something even if he is not the president since he has influence over the republican party. It will be really interesting what will happen next, either he will throw Ukraine under the bus which is likely imho (which is basically not supporting it) or perhaps he has a brilliant idea how to keep the aggressor on their side of the border which would of course be the best.

My expectation is that they will end the conflict with the ethnically Russian provinces no longer part of Ukraine.
reply
but isn't the conflict with all of Ukraine?
reply
I don't think so, but people have different perspectives on this.
My understanding is that the conflict is over provinces adjacent to Russia. That's primarily for access to the Russian naval base in Crimea, but it's also about who controls the ethnically Russian provinces.
Some expect that Russia is trying to conquer the entirety of Ukraine and then continue on into other parts of eastern Europe. I don't think that's right, but I'll acknowledge that if it were, Putin's not going to just announce that to the world.

I agree
I hope you take action on this matter and put an end to this madness.
