Maybe I’m just an idiot, but maybe somebody could explain to me why Trump is taking the lead on negotiating peace between two different countries without BOTH being invited.

In a historical context, this would be like Cuba forcing America to make peace with Japan after Pearl Harbor….

And I understand that there is a European Union thing going on here too, and a NATO thing … but Trump hasn’t invited the European Union or NATO to sit in on these peace talks, has he?

Because Ukraine has effectively no negotiating power in this war without US support. They rely very heavily on the armaments provided by the United States over the last few years. If that support were to stop, the war would be over tomorrow, and Zelensky has said as much already.

I still think you’re right that the Ukraine should be the ones doing the negotiations though.

Yeah, …I guess deep down. I’m just worried that the guy who defrauded a child medical charity is going to swing the situation with Russia for his own personal gain, even if it means sacrificing the sovereignty of Ukraine and all of its citizens.

Maybe I’m just thinking too deep into this
