Steve Bannon: "Walk the F*ck Away" from Ukraine Economic Partnership Deal (Glenn Greenwald)

Bannon is right, but one must suppose that Trump would not be prepared to have the US continue involvement in the conflict in any event. His mineral deal looks like another one of his ploys to keep everyone off balance, including the Russians, with whom he's negotiating. Regardless of any mineral deal, the Russian military cannot be stopped in their own back yard where they will only settle for a deal that sees Ukraine dismantled. Trump can try all sorts of ploys, but he's not got any real leverage when it comes to this conflict - other than continuing the failed Biden policy.
