The Secretary carries out the President’s foreign policies through the State Department and the Foreign Service of the United States. These duties include conducting negotiations relating to U.S. foreign affairs. He does NOT have the choice to skip the talks. But, he's following the despot's orders.
A key quote: “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea,” Mr. Zelensky said at a news conference. “There’s nothing to talk about here. This is against our Constitution.”
Helping Ukraine is a cheapest most honorable way to entangle and weaken Russia to the point when it is no longer relevant. Russia can’t win this war, but we can lose it.
I’m hearing lots of demands made of the Ukrainians by the US… not many (if any) on the Russians.
Which would indicate either the US has no leverage on Putin, or that they refuse to use any they have. Either way, Putin must be laughing his arse off at Trump & the US.
In related news, the @nytimes.com front page skipped over the story of the century, which was the Republican nominee for president campaigning on a promise of dictatorship.
Trump has completely failed at this task. It was a cornerstone of his campaign that he would solve this. He never even tried. He’s a loser, a coward, and a failure.

Or is it throwing a hissy fit, taking your toys and going home?
Just another example of declining US influence and proof to the world that the US is not essential.
Yeah, a little less great today.
