Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.

Sorry for the headline. I don’t know why they don’t just say it’s Vivek Ramaswamy.

To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.

    His chances of becoming President? Yes, those chances are nonzero. Low, but not nonexistent.

    But that wasn’t what I was saying. The chances of Russia abiding by such an agreement not to align with China are less than 0%. His plan has a less than zero chance of becoming reality even on the off-chance he actually gets a chance to try.
