Are Trump and Putin trying to gang-rape Ukraine (and the world) ?

Business is often about prioritising parochial short-term gain over long term global benefit. e.g. Businesses fuelled CLIMATE CHANGE and exploitation. And Russia/Ukraine?!?!

THIS is why a BUSINESSMAN should NOT be such an influential President

Trump did  say that he would quickly end the Ukraine war and now we know his tactic - withdrawing US support for this invaded territory.

The immediate benefits for America are self-evident - cutting the $170+ billion aid spent ($106B directly)

Let's NOT forget that Russia was globally sanctioned for its aggressive invasion of Ukraine but

now we hear Trump blaming Ukraine for its own invasion by Russia!!!

So US benefits could include potentially increasing US business dealings with (the Trump-exonerated) Russia?

Ukraine may be a small player in world politics but the issues are immense and the precedents very damaging.  

The world has traditionally invested in maintaining world peace by containing imperialist forces through alliances and treaties that unite and protect the free democratic world.

America's interests have - thus far - been in unison with free democracies but Trump himself has shown dictatorship tendencies, imperialist ambitions, right-wing leanings and the self-annointed ravings of a supposedly God-endorsed egomaniac

Watch out world!

Trump's short-term "make America grate again" thinking isn't constrained to unleashing fossil exploitations and unrestrained carbon emissions.  Whatever he does for America WILL  have long-term repercussions across the world - not just his narrow focus of economics but also on global politics and stability and ecology, NONE of which are easily corrected by any ensuing government
