Why does Trump get so involved in this anyway? He has little to gain but a lot to lose. There's always the chance of international humiliation but even if he brokers a peace which makes him look good it is so what to most Americans the majority of whom don't care about Ukraine or even find it on a map.
Most Americans don't care about the Middle-East either but the people who finance American politicians care very much about the Middle-East so the politicians must care too.
However, most Americans care more about the economy, the fuel prices and taxes instead of some obscure country on the other side of the world.
Btw, do you Canadians also call petrol as gas like Americans do? How do you differentiate between petrol and gas if you call both as gas?
