Russia invades Ukraine

[____no5]

Russia will have more benefits from abiding by the peace deal than from continuing a war (or starting another war, for that matter), and so will Ukraine. The US no longer has to finance a war in Ukraine it cannot win. So in my opinion, a peace deal under Trump would be a win-win-win situation.

Peace is always better than war, though the root cause of the problem which is the need for a new security architecture in Europe that satisfies Russia would not be addressed.

In my view, Trump wants to make deal in order to stop bleeding of USD, separate Russia from China and divert USA focus to China while Europe would take on Russia in the long term.

Nothing too noble but at least they are engaging with the other side, unlike the previous administration.
