    Heh, maybe it will work, but from what I remember, the disaster on that disaster meeting started when Zelenskyy said that putin doesn’t honor any agreement.

    Another thing is that given how quickly he stopped delivery of ammunition, means this was planned since the transition, so the spectacle was purposefully done.

      There’s a small chance that this time could be seen as different as Putin broke a “deal” with Trump.

      Putin breaking agreements with other people, ok, but Trump considers himself different and those don’t count.

      Having Trump be directly involved in a broken deal might be enough of an affront to bother Trump.

      Long shot, more likely Putin rationalizes it away to Trump somehow

        I was hopeful during transition and until Gabbard was sworn in. That’s when he showed his true intentions.

        Biden set him so well, that he could be remembered as the person that dissolved Russia and have statues built in Ukraine of himself, but he still went with Russia.

        Though I would love to be proven wrong.

          Moscow has been very friendly to him consistently since the 80s. All flattery and benefit, with zero demanded of him.

          Ukraine is that country that declined to make up stuff about Biden in an incident that blew up into his first impeachment.

          So I didn’t have high hopes
