True. But this theater is getting tiresome, and I am not sure it's working for Europe. Perhaps it's time to make it clear to Trump that there are no negotiations instead of leading him to think that there are—and in the process fooling a lot of Europeans into believing that peace is close.
What folks need to realize about "peace talks" is that this is all theater for Washington. Ukraine knows that Russia has no intention of stopping the war, and the Russians know the Ukrainians know that. So this is just all a performance for Trump, hoping he blames the other for the lack of peace.

The fact that Russia is holding Ukraine hostage to negotiate a broader deal with NATO proves this war is in no way Ukraine’s fault, which anyone with a brain already knew, but it also shows that it’s our business too and that Trump is gaslighting the world by claiming it isn’t

As predicted last week. And to repeat: Pushing forward with this will fragment the armed forces and risk not just the security but the existence of the Republic. For no reason at all.
Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.
