Misplaced Blame in Ukraine War
- Many Americans, especially Conservative right, view Zelenskyy as the villain and Putin as provoked by NATO.
- This view contradicts the reality of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Potential Peace Settlement Framework
- A potential peace settlement for the war may involve freezing territorial lines, no full NATO membership for Ukraine, and US recouping aid through Ukraine's mineral wealth.
- This would likely involve a frozen conflict with Russia occupying parts of Ukraine, and a new security arrangement including European support.
Trump's Ukraine Strategy
- Trump's approach to the Ukraine war aims to end the conflict, even if his rhetoric about Zelenskyy is harsh.
- His plan involves securing mineral resources for the US and increased European security contributions.
