They say the ball is no in Putin's court. But really, it's also now in Trumps. This was brilliant strategy by England and France as it forces Trump to show where he actually stands.
Consultation, negotiation, bargaining—these are all synonyms for "transaction." Attached are each party's chips. No one can walk away directly; they must either take something with them or pay something.
Macron and Stormer clearly understand diplomacy. I have to admire their resolve to get Trump to acquiesce. They also understand Ukraine's sovereignty is important to European safety. Trump doesn't care. He's merely a moronic bully.
