Surely this violates international law?

It does. Ethnic clensing... but the US don't recognise the ICC, so he probably doesn't care. And who would arrest him?

As noted on the BBC, if America did do this, China and Russia feel emboldened in their actions in Ukraine and Taiwan respectively. Being an economic bully is one thing but America under Trump, risks becoming despised, the World over with nobody being able to rein them in.

[Kent Magpie]

I agree on both those. I was just suggesting how he may try to do it... whether he would is another issue for all the reasons you state.

America. Not only despised but distrusted.
What was the cry after the 2nd World War.
?Yanks go home?
There is a saying:- A friend in need is a friend indeed.
They are no friend of Ukraine.

Trump has appointed himself judge and jury in the Ukraine war. He will claim to have got (gotten) all parties around the table and say "Right, you guys have been fighting over this territory for a long time and many lives have been lost, so I've decided to solve it by giving you 50% each. Mr Putin you come first alphabetically so pick the half you want, Mr Zelenskyy you get what's left. Donald J Trump pledged to sort this crisis, and now I have".

And all of his supporters will proclaim him a hero.

I was reading the BBC world news this morning regarding Germany and the EU. With the German elections due in two weeks it says more and more younger people 20-30 are voting the for the far right and that 60% of EU young people are edging that way also. Frightening to say the least but it's what happens when governments fail to listen.

It's mostly the left's fault. People don't just become "far right" from one election to the next. People are fed up with the direction of travel and want change. It's a cry for help from normal people.
