On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough expresses surprising support for President Trump in his handling of the Ukraine-Russia situation. He brought in Mark Brzezinski, son of Zbigniew, brother of Mika, and appointee of Obama and Biden, respectively, as ambassador to Sweden and Poland, who said that if Trump achieves a peace deal, he would be entitled to "celebration" and "accolades" [Nobel Prize?] Scarborough pushes back hard when John Heilemann claims that Putin would get what he wanted from the deal: a part of Ukraine. Scarborough says he would only get "slivers," and that Putin definitely did not want a form of NATO Article V guarantee for Ukraine, something that seems to be on the table. Scarborough mocked pundits who said that Putin's body language at the summit indicated he felt like a winner. Scarborough pointed out that Putin is a former KGB agent who was not about to look as if he had been beaten. Joe also did his Muy Macho thing, saying that if Putin had slouched in his chair, as he did in Alaska and also with Obama, Scarborough would have walked out, telling him, "Have fun. I'm going back to Washington."
