This is revolting. And it's unfathomable that morally-depraved, know-nothing Trump and his equally depraved appointees are negotiating anything with Russia. Let alone trying orchestrate giving Ukraine territory to Russia. Reminder: Russia is LOSING the war AND it's economy is in shambles.

Uh oh, Dana better follow the lead of jake “the traitor” tapper and hurry up and blame President Biden’s use of ibuprofen to combat mild pain for what’s going on in the world today. Remember, that’s cnn’s MO

"Shaping the battlefield" refers to actions taken to create a favorable environment for one's own forces while simultaneously limiting the enemy's freedom of action. He is setting things up so Trump can try & justify agreeing to what Putin wants & not giving Ukraine what it deserves.

Earned on the battlefield? WTF? So now we're saying unjust, unprovoked, illegal invasions are cool and you can keep what you occupied if you "earned" it on the battlefield? Tossing everything we learned from WW2 in the toilet, at least a subject Whitaker knows something about, unlike NATO.
