    Seems obvious to me why the Biden administration couldn’t negotiate with the Russians: the Russians were waiting for Trump to come back to power.

      I’m sorry, but that seems like BS.

      I recall very clearly that Biden and Blinken maintained that they were refusing to open any negotiations with Russia. Maybe Russia would’ve refused. But I distinctly recall Biden taking a hard line stance, and anyone who suggested that he, Blinken, and Zelinsky accepting that they weren’t likely to recover full territorial control being basically tarred and feathered as MAGA puppets.

      I just don’t see the point. So many lives were spent to defend the country. Will it mean anything? We’ll see.
