Why should Russia agree to a deal if Trump is going to walk away if they don’t? This “deal” is just a face saving way for Trump to abandon Ukraine.
Exactly.
Trump is a REALIST.
When Trump came into office, it didn't take long for him to understand that Zelenskyy did not want peace because it was not in the little dictator's interest of clinging to power to have peace.
NEITHER side wants peace and Trump doesn't want to keep throwing money at a losing cause.
Trump is merely attempting to leave the Ukraine more gracefully than Uncle Sam left Vietnam and Afghanistan and since we don't have military on the ground that should be possible.
