I am not convinced that this was not orchestrated , performative rather than organic. The fact that things don’t escalate until minute 39 is not evidence that it’s not a show .
I would not describe this as an ambush - agree with you on that point . However , why was the press invited ? Why was TASS on site filming . This is not usually done during active negotiation and it changes the behavior of the participants . And of course , DJT is no stranger to the reality event . I think it was done to apply pressure , make DJT look great , and provide footage for use in propaganda. The plan was never to fully explode - it may have been Ze that said the slightest thing wrong - however , that’s almost certain to happen given the set up . A calm , respectful negotiation doesn’t provide the fodder they need for Russian TV or the MAGA masses.
Were cameras on when they met Ru in Saudi Arabia? Do we have footage of that entire negotiation ? Everything that was said ? Interested to know - think we only saw a few photos and descriptors from participants .
I think Ze got very frustrated at their lack of knowledge regarding UKR/ Ru relations . They are in fact wholly uninformed , ignoramuses - what they know they know from Putin in talking pts not foreign policy experts. 2015 ?
DJT, never a good negotiator , would never. E able to handle this alone - Vance wouldn’t either - he’s already tripped up on the national stage. I think once this headed south - regardless of who initiated - it simply was derailed and neither DJT or Vance are equipped to get it back on track . And they knew they’re being taped - and it looks really bad.
DJTs idea of negotiation is with his vendors , contractors etc. and best predictor of future performance is past - he WILL renege on the deals - Putin will renege on the agreements. They want what they want and Ze is in the way.
Lest we not forget the extortion “incident” - so there’s history here - and that ignoramus we have to call POTUS brought up Hunter Biden’s laptop , hoaxes , etc .? Planned to fit that in all along
I hope Ze makes a deal with another country or group . I hope that he does not come back to meet with our regime - I don’t trust them and done think Ze should .
Really happy this whole thing blew up on their faces . dJT and Vance
