This is a profile in courage by the President of Ukraine, who is in perhaps the worst geopolitical situation that a country of such population could be in. Zelensky knows exactly what Trump, who would sell out any ally to Putin, could do.Why did Obama play it safe and display a willingness to remain idle and sell out a potential ally as Putin sought to reclaim a portion of what was previously known as a crucial region associated with the old Russian Empire that existed prior to it's communist overthrow during the first world war. You do realize that Putin is more or less a de facto version of the Russian Czar who is now in charge of modern day Russia.
