What are you guys' thoughts on Trump's approach to the Ukraine war? Financial Times had an interesting article regarding the recent Zelensky-Trump meeting.

Nice analysis here:

It alleges Trump was pressuring Zelensky to accept a settlement along Russian lines and it became a row with Trump 'cursing' and so on. I don't know if Trump fans here will agree, but Trump is in a bind because he's desperate to not be blamed for Ukraine's defeat. If he publicly acknowledges Putin "won" and he withdraws support he will be blamed for the defeat and will be called weak, Putin's bitch or whatever. So publicly he claims Russia's economy is shit, they have these millions of KIAs and that Ukraine can win back everything "and more," when in actuality it was just veiled sarcasm. I see the Trump-Putin Budapest meeting isn't happening now either because there's nothing to discuss, Russia holds 'all the cards.'
I guess my question is how 'should' Trump handle this debacle? Personally I have a hard time with people who constantly bluff and lie and deceive
(I might have some degree of autism) 
Trump also publicly constantly badmouths Putin and the Russians have to treat him with kids gloves and keep a happy face because this is serious bidness and Trump has the 'codes.' Obviously, on a larger timeline, the US subscribes to this
Grand Strategy thing, in which Russia is the enemy to be weakened and destroyed and Trump is part of that. OTOH Ukraine is a boil on Trump's ass and he'd like to pivot resources towards China for that war. He'd also like to add "nr 9" to his resumé.
"U.S. grand strategy involves coordinating all forms of national power—diplomacy, military, economic, and information—to achieve long-term foreign policy objectives, a strategy focused on maintaining American primacy through military dominance, a global alliance network, and U.S.-led international institutions. However, this approach has drawn criticism for being costly and overstretching U.S. capabilities, leading to calls for strategies like restraint or selective engagement."Also, Trump just negotiated Middle East peace. How is that a fail? And, as I've said before, if a leader aligns his ego with the goals of the country, who gives a fuck? It's the results that count.
Trump got 20 Israeli live hostages back but there's no peace. The ceasefire didn't hold at all. The 20 point Peace Plan was a joke from the beginning and there was no intention of keeping to it, on either side. Hamas won't disarm and Israel is determined to cleanse the area of Palestinians. Same old.
I don't know about you, but the designs of these US Jews to grab the land and develop prime real estate on the blood and bones of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian dead seems extremely tasteless to me.
