Do these dumbasses ever think about why Putin didn't just take all of Ukraine the last 3,5 years if he could but instead he chose to lose thousands of tanks, aircrafts and a million soldiers? So saying "I won't take what I can't take" is enough for USA now. Awesome!

So in reality, this deal only means that Russia can take more of Ukraine easier in some years as they could if the war would just continue now and that is what Trump will call an awesome deal for which he has to win the Nobel Peace Price.

I'm not sure which is worse: that it's plausible that they might actually be that dumb, or that they're bad enough that even if they realize that, they choose to lie about it and disregard it so they can get the whole thing wrapped up sooner.
