    The Cuban middle crisis was resolved through negotiation and concessions, not by a game of nuclear chicken.

      That’s exactly how this was resolved. Ukraine forced trump to show his weakness so now he either has to step up involvement in Ukraine or very visibly cowtow to Putin on the world stage.

      I dunno if you keep up with history but that’s quite literally how the Cuban missile crisis ended, in negotiations behind closed doors and I might add with resolutions that weren’t public for iirc about a decade and even then the government didn’t want people to know.
