Steve, you sure loathe this man, it must be some karmic issue, for sure!

Right now I don't think Mr. Trump is guided by greed for money, he's after a huge challenge, the biggest he has ever tackled in his life. He can be remembered as a success or as a failure. He knows that well.

War. The simple, undeniable fact is that, whereas the forces of totalitarian communism have huge resources in terms of soldiers and artillery, Ukraine is rapidly running out of soldiers. The war of attrition is very unfavorable to Ukraine. The sanctions did not work. Soldiers from NATO cannot be employed to aid Ukraine, otherwise this might trigger a 3rd world war with unforeseeable consequences. Unfortunately, right now the only feasible solution seems to be peace negotiations where Ukraine accepts to lose some territory and will renounce to join NATO. Mr. Putin will tout this as a big victory and will save face and Ukraine will be saved from utter destruction.

Steve, what are all the crimes committed during Trump's presidency? The only verdict of guilty was about His falsifying business records, which the alchemy of the Supreme court of New York was able to turn into 34 distinct crimes. So much so for the impartiality of judges. I would pretty much be able to turn a 100 US$ bill into 34 separate 100 US$ bills, unfortunately, I don't have the abilities of the Supreme Court of NY.
He may have falsified business records, but I would trust an impartial Court in an impartial judgment, not a Court right inside enemy territory.

Supreme court: as I see it, We already had this discussion, in the face of blatant persecution, leveraging a superiority in the federal supreme court can be seen as a very sensible strategy.
