Episode notes
Trump's Post As Political Jujitsu
- Larry Johnson argues Trump's 'Ukraine can take 1991 borders' post was political trolling to expose neocon overconfidence.
- The U.S. veto at the UN later that day signaled a distancing from escalation, not a policy reversal.
Rhetoric vs. Real Sanctions
- Larry notes Trump talks tough on sanctions but has taken little concrete action against India, China, or Europe.
- Russia observes rhetoric versus real measures and adjusts strategy accordingly.
Russia's Nonnegotiable Terms
- Larry says Russia's terms for any deal are fixed: end NATO involvement and recognize territory gained.
- If the West rejects those terms, Russia will press its advantage on the ground.
