100%. Ukraine would be stupid to sign this, unless their military situation is truly desperate. The basic treaty is Russia gets no more penalties, they keep everything they captured, Ukraine never joins NATO, Ukraine’s military is limited to 600k people, and there’s no concrete guarantee against further Russian aggression on any other country. And if Russia goes after after Ukraine again in a few years when they rearm, they don’t seem to be any hard guarantees for Ukrainian security.
As an American I have no idea WTF our president is thinking. Russia has stated ambitions to reconquer former USSR territory, Ukraine steps up to fight and die to stop it and all they need is ammunition which is the bargain of the fucking century for the rest of the world. Meanwhile we have this golden goose opportunity against Russia and our priority seems to be let’s cook it as quickly as possible.

He’s a traitor working for Putin. How is that anything less than perfectly obvious, at this point?
