Fiona Hill Knows How The World Works

This is an interesting article about diplomat Fiona Hill:
How did Mr Trump fare? “Terrible. Let’s give him a pass for effort,” she said, matter-of-factly, as if marking the president’s report card. A former Harvard researcher who serves as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, an influential foreign policy think tank, Hill is a career academic with the manner of a firm but fair head teacher.
“What Trump is doing is answering the wrong exam question,” Hill added.
“Trump thinks it’s just about real estate, about trade and who gets what, be it minerals, land or rare earths,” she explained. What the president doesn’t understand is that “Putin doesn’t want a ceasefire”.
“[He] wants a neutered Ukraine, not one that is able to withstand military pressure. Everybody sees this, apart from Trump,” she said.
