The world must sidestep Donald Trump.

I feel like they're pretty ahead of you. I doubt that anyone in Ukraine or EU is taking Trump's opinion on the "peace deal" or the war all that seriously. They can't just openly ignore him, just because the US is still providing a ton of weapons, but I would be very surprised if they're taking him seriously.

It's mostly a ploy for Trump to manufacture a good reason to get the US out of supporting Ukraine. He's looking for a way to reduce the backlash to a minimal level. Same plan as the last time when Zelensky was at the white house.

Other countries taking it seriously doesn't matter too much to Trump here.

You may be right, but I don't think he's even as organized as that. I think he's just wandering around playing big boy and pooping on himself, as he usually does.

Yes, how dare they invade a sovereign nation and have their state TV call for exterminating every single one of its population, and threaten people with nuclear weapons, because those countries committed the sin of maybe joining a defense alliance which would make it more difficult for them to do those things without getting their nose bloodied for it. Or, wait, that was fine. You were talking about the other guys? Yeah, those guys. I get it.

Russia had no choice, at the end of the day. It's from the "I didn't mean to break her arm but she said she was gonna call the cops on me and you know I can't have that shit" school of enlightened statecraft.

If President Bonespurs wants to swap territory so much then he should use Alaska as the bargaining chip.

And Alaskans will still be too cowardly to oppose Trump in that scenario. Tyrants need to be stopped.
