We shouldn’t reward Russia with a ‘peace’ that leaves Ukraine carved up and helpless

Douglas Murray  

"And that unless Russia is deterred from doing so, President Vladimir Putin will simply wait for President Trump to leave office and come back and try to take the country all over again. After all, if he keeps being rewarded for his aggression, why wouldn’t he?"

"Despite President Trump’s calls for the fighting to stop, Russia this week again stepped up its war against Ukraine.
"On Wednesday, Russian forces fired X-101 cruise missiles at sites in western Ukraine.
"This is far from the east of the country, where most of the fighting has been taking place since the full-scale Russian invasion of February 2022.
"The targets for Wednesday’s strikes included not just energy infrastructure sites, but residential buildings in the city of Ternopil.
"Not least apartment tower blocks where dozens of residents were killed and wounded." . . .


. . . "You have to marvel at the logic — as well as the manners — of these people.
"On the one hand, they accuse Jews who live in their historic homeland of being “settlers.”
"On the other, they scream abuse at Jews in every country outside Israel.
"Surely, in the process, making more Jews want to move to Israel.
"After all, if you are going to scream at, and urge violence against, Jews in the middle of Manhattan, can you be surprised if some of them might want to move?
"Particularly to somewhere where they might be better protected?
"It reminds me of those charming students at Columbia University who chased Jews across campus last year shouting, “Go back to Poland.”
"When there were a lot of Jews in Poland, those same Jews would be told to “go back home” to the Middle East.
"It really is almost as though some people don’t want Jews to exist anywhere at all, isn’t it? . .
