Ukraine Conflict - In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only war!

Funny that the US is charging cash for brokering the deal, plus any profits that come out of the reconstruction.

Trump charging a percentage of that cash deal would be cherry on the top.

This is actually worse than Munich. At least then, the French and British leaders didn't include provisions of cash payouts for themselves in the sellout of the Czechs. I expect the Ukrainians will reject, knowing full well it will cost them a lot in Trump's retribution but that will still be better than complete surrender and loss of sovereignty. The real question, though, is how will London, Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw react? Will they also join in Trump's sellout of the Ukrainians?

Trump is trying to order them about on how to spend their money so obviously they will resist. 
Not that they have any intention to fill the void that US might leave behind.
