I’m eager to see how the clown expects to ever be trusted again - randomly cancelling his own and ages old treaties at will or using threats to do so for “negotiations” (not to speak threats of annexation of former allies), what’s left for positive diplomacy once he comes to see he needs it?
Would be great indeed but I fear there won’t be"that moment where he realizes …". In his view he’s doing everything right for his audience (grifter in chief, Putin, billionaires). Nevertheless “chapeau!” to the protesters, well framed in the ski resort setting - always to remind the amount of taxpayer paid relaxation while others suffer from their actions.
It will be a steep learning curve to realize that owning and citing from a book (let’s say the art of the deal) doesn’t mean that the enormous effort that previous world leaders put into brokering peace agreements was because they were stupid or lazy. Unfortunately, predictably, “bullying everyone and everything” will not work, but putting the ball so clearly in Russia’s court is actually good progress.
