  1. Summary:

    Friedman argues that Donald Trump’s approach to Ukraine peace talks is dangerously naive, overly personalized, and disconnected from U.S. and NATO values.

    He criticizes Trump for trusting Vladimir Putin and relying on flattery rather than strategy, ignoring Putin’s goal of conquering Ukraine rather than seeking peace.

    Friedman warns that without understanding Putin’s true motives and committing to strong Western military and political support for Ukraine, Trump risks enabling Russian victory — which would damage U.S. alliances and Trump’s own legacy.

  3. Should have returned the good-for-nothing family progenitor back to Bavaria, thus heading off this Un-American story from the start.
