In reply to the discussion: Trump's "final offer" for peace requires Ukraine to accept Russian occupation [View all]blue-wave
(4,730 posts)27. This is a set-up
He wants to frame the narrative, as he has been doing all along, that Ukraine is the cause of the war and the reason there is no peace. Ukraine won't submit and give up land to psychopaths who invaded their country ? Well then, we'll just walk away because Ukraine is unreasonable. Victim blaming and victim shaming. Innocent Ukrainians are dying every day. This is a shame on the United States.

When this is all over, I will be bitterly upset if Trump is not a refugee hiding in Moscow.
