Trust gambling to bring Ukrainians and Russians to the table. Maybe Putin and Zelensky should do that with Trump as the dealer and European leaders as hosts serving drinks and emptying ashtrays.
Putin: I bet Crimea. I see your Crimea and I raise you Donbas. Trump: I dealt the cards, it was me who set up the game, I need 50% of the winnings, so I take the minerals. European hosts: can I get a tip? Pretty please? Trump: no it was my idea, I get everything.
