Ukraine

President Biden is getting squeezed into a no win situation in Ukraine. The possibility that Trump could win the election has opened the door to a Trump/Putin peaceful settlement in the war. This puts pressure on Biden to reach a settlement. At this point Putin would ask for the Dombas region along with Crimean in territory but also a say in the Ukrainian government. He would want a Russian representative in Kiev to oversee any military build up along with a written agreement Ukraine would not be allowed into NATO. If Biden goes along with this it will appear that he should have negotiated earlier for a better deal. Once again the US will walk away looking like a failure.
