    But unlike Berlin (or rather Germany as a whole as it was divided, too, but berlin itself was divided despite being in the soviet zone) was the aggressor, started the war and was conquered at the end.

    If anything wasto be split into zones “like Berlin/Germany” you’d have to conquer Russia first.

    Fun fact: in Germany, we have a word for this type of BS, geschichtsvergessen, meaning the thing said is forgetting how history actually happened. But probably it’s on purpose, so it’s actually revisionist instead of forgetting (revisionist in the sense that Kellog wants to insinuate Ukraine as the aggressor).

    suggest the country could be split into zones of control

    … and I suggest to put this lunatic into that kind of zone where lunatics get their proper treatment.

    More like Korea, Germany was fully overturned in order to be split like that

    But we are talking Trump envoy, so the bar is pretty low anyway

    Yes, but will Trump and Putin chill at a pool and - most importantly - will there be a golden statue of Trump and bearded scantily clothed dancers?

    Jokes aside - this is coming from bonkers people who think authority and stubbornness are enough to get things done, which may to a point apply in internal affairs (where there’s an established body of laws that gives the president that authority), but will not work in geopolitics.

    Also, making sure you know the least bit about what you are talking about before opening your mouth and letting your ugly thoughts out wouldn’t harm: comparing nowadays Ukraine to WWII Berlin just shows you don’t know anything about (at least one of) the two.
