They know! We’re a career military family. My point is that this is more difficult a problem to solve than it might appear because of the obvious strongly held valid points of view on each side.

While President Trump’s idea of an American presence in Ukraine for obtaining minerals seems like a viable idea, a really good idea from our pov, the felt ongoing brutality of Russia in Ukraine ( and historically) might might make the idea seem unsupportable.

Your points are well made and obvious to us, but if we want the war to end, we need to fully appreciate how very difficult it may be to find a satisfactory answer.
