And I love the withhold from The Camo Con Man.
He seems to want to run his people off the cliff when trump was giving him a chance to negotiate a settlement that preserved some of his country.
If we could stop Putin now we would, but we can't - you voted for Biden and Obama - that's on you.
The war is unwinnable.
Trump want's peace. This will force Zelenskyy to the table, or reveal that he is acting for his own behalf rather than his country - which reveals him to all without TDS.
Let's see what he does.
Btw, it was completely unacceptable to start arguing and demanding security guarantees that are part of the subsequent peace talks at a signing ceremony that was in front of the media - and he was specifically warned by both R and D senators not to do it.
Ukraine's Ambassador's reaction with her head in her hand revealed that she knew he was going off script and in a really bad way.
Also muttering and calling Vance a bitch is also unacceptable.
We have given so fucking much money and aid...and he does this?!!!! AFTER also campaigning against Trump last Fall?!!! ( I recall saying to my wife, "wtf does he think he's doing? Does he know that Trump can win?" - but anyways....
That kind of behavior is unacceptable. The Euro hug tour was also insulting with oddly identical prepared rebukes by the countries who want their free military ride to last forever and who are facing a reciprocal tariff promise from Trump to set a fair palying field for the US.
An apology should be expected. If he can't stomach it, he is putting his pride above his people, and he needs to be replaced....the Euros will do that pretty quickly when they see that the full cost of their own protection from this war is now on them.
