In effect, the United States is abandoning the Ukrainians regardless of which option Zelensky chooses. Trump’s one-sided plan gives Russian President Vladimir Putin everything he wants while giving Ukraine nothing of substance. First, Russia gets to keep all the land that it has seized through its invasions of Ukraine stretching back to 2014. Ukraine will have to recognize Russian control over Crimea—in violation of specific tenets of the Ukrainian constitution. In making the latter demand, Trump is formally asking a democratic country, one that very much wanted to be a U.S. ally, to hand over to a bloodthirsty dictator its claim to some of its most strategically important territory. This would be like another nation asking the United States to hand over Hawaii to China.

Offer Joe Biden a full presidential pardon if he promises to turn on his son Hunter and admit he enjoyed watching his daughter take a shower.

Urged the families of the 146 garment workers burned to death at New York’s Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in 1911 to accept $500 and a heartfelt apology from the owners.

Offered Kuwait in 1990 that it could have kept 10 percent of its oil fields if it had given 90 percent of the country to Saddam Hussein and allowed him to rule the country.
