Comment: Ukraine peace requires Trump to stand up to Putin

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : But on their own they would be, as Trump found when he met Norther Korea's dictator Kim Jong Un at a summit in Singapore, during his first term.
49% : But so far, the only reports concerning a concrete approach suggests they hope easing oil sanctions could entice Putin to play fair.
39% : So does that mean Donald Trump -- inaugurated as U.S. president on Monday and fresh from his initial success in securing a Gaza ceasefire -- will be pushing at an open door in Ukraine?
35% : If Trump wants things to move quickly, the threat needs to be a lot sharper.
31% : In the long term, that would be as much to Russia's benefit as to that of Europe and the U.S. But by the time that becomes clear to all sides in this conflict, both Putin and Trump will be long gone.
27% : Conversely, the less committed to Ukraine's defense Trump appears to be, the less incentive Putin will have to negotiate or compromise.
