Donald Trump wasn't right about anything.

I think I am referring to some of these diplomatic talks that really isn't happening here. This was a goal and this was premediated from the beginning for Putin. This was going to occur regardless of what some guy's in suits in NY thought about the matter. Clearly Putin is on the action level side of the ledger and the rest of the world is on the talk side of the ledger.
If we are all being serious, this could have been avoided very quickly. What is the $20 million from the UN going to do for the people of Ukraine today? That is less than 50 cents a person for a modern day, European country who is currently under a significant invasion from a nuclear threat.
