VIDEO SYNTHESIS / The U.S. hasn’t negotiated a "deal”. It’s giving Zelensky what he only ever wanted. On a silver platter.
Ukraine’s hold-out for NATO membership was only ever strategic. A card to be played in negotiation, a quid-pro-quo to be exchanged for its ultimate prize — US "security guarantees”.
The real news today is that 7% of Republicans have stopped identifying as MAGA and have reverted back to being vanilla Republicans again.
POTUS needs to URGENTLY kick Zelensky to the curb — with no security guarantees — and deliver some great WINS on the domestic front.
