Or what? You're going to give Putin everything he wants and backstab Ukraine and Zelenskyy? Oh wait, you've just done that to the maximum extent of your ability already. Waltz acts critical of the fact that Zelenskyy 'insulted' Trump but he knows damn well that Trump deserves far worse than stern words after what he did.

Trump's moronic negotiation tactic of opening up negotiations with bridge-burning all-out hostilities and insulting your potential business partner does NOT work in world politics. This is a prime example of it. I am shocked that he keeps quadrupling down on it. It's the only move he has ever known.
