Trump's statement on Ukraine is ridiculous, naive and un-American

One of the things that Trump keeps forgetting when it comes to Ukraine is that Russia illegally invaded the country. So Ukraine should not be required to give up an ounce of its territory, just because Russia is bigger and has the advange, though they don't seem to have used it well.

The United States should not be going along with any detail of a peace deal that doesn't restore Ukrainian sovereignty over all of its lost territory, including the Crimea, and doesn't demand billions in reparations and restoration by Russia.

Anything less than this is pro-putin.

He likes that Putin is the aggressor because Trump wants to do the same.
