Since Ukrainians don't give up their territories without fight Trump could give him Alaska instead when they meet there. I'm certain he'll be also pleased with that and then could focus on peaceful recolonisation of those historically Russian territories instead of this costly war in Ukraine. After that we could confidently reward Trump with Nobel Peace Price
Russian defeat in Ukraine is equal to Russian defeat in first Chechnya war. Complete humiliation and Russians are going to try to conquer Ukraine again. And I have used word "defeat" on purpose, because anything else than a complete control of Ukrainian state is a defeat for Russia.
yeah, not a completely bad idea since your average hn commenter is more competent than Trump it could bring some improvement. It's heresy, I know, but maybe even your average reddit user could be a better negotiator

There will be no war, if I will get Sudetenland

And what happens if trump+putin work a deal out and Ukraine says no? Who has Ukraine's back?
This is exactly how the Russians negotiate.

Donald Trump stands no chance; he has no idea what he is dealing with.
Krasnov has been dealing with the Russians for ~40 years. I think he has an idea.
In general he's not particularly good with having ideas, and this particular might get too hard as well.

We need to get the people commenting on Hacker News running the negotations.
Just imagine what could be achieved then......
