There's not much to comment on here. Simply because Trump has no tools to influence Putin. Except to ask, roughly like children ask to go outside for ice cream. Unfortunately, no tools of influence have been demonstrated by the US administration.
And there are also no ways to both conclude a treaty and maintain the conditions of the treaty in an acceptable state. Any agreement will be violated by Putin in the first hours. Putin's multimodal approach to preparing and formalizing agreements almost always leaves him the opportunity not to fully implement the agreement, in any point that is disadvantageous to himself.
For what reasons the new US government puts itself in such a worthless legal, political and moral position is a big mystery. Probably these are the current problems of the US budget, maybe the consequences of old relationships with the 'new Russian nobility'. It's hard to say why people do stupid things.
Please, there's no need to manipulate so obviously. My family and I are in Kyiv right now, and unlike wishful thinkers, I very clearly understand that the recent activities of the American administration do not protect me in any way and cannot prevent the inevitable. The only thing Trump is capable of is showing an imitation of some possible freeze of hostilities for a very short time (a week, maybe two). This is the ceiling of possibilities.
Whether you like it or not, we now have or will have to deal with a joint ultimatum from Russia and the US, Putin and Trump, to Ukraine. Putin will emerge as the winner, Trump will be humiliated. For Ukraine, nothing will change.
Let me just remind you how this works. A few days ago, a random American was exchanged for an international criminal. The next day, another random American was arrested at the airport. If for some reason US refuse to exchange him for another international criminal, he will be tortured, tormented, maybe russians will cut off his legs (anything sufficiently media-convincing for the average American). That's how agreements work. This series of humiliations for Trump will be endless unless he starts acting as he should have.
Right up until December 7 or September 11, the US had no intentions of deploying forces anywhere. Unfortunately, there are other players in the world with their own agendas. On February 10, 2007, Putin declared war on NATO and the USA. This fact can be ignored, but his goal is to inflict a defeat of irreversible magnitude on his enemy.
Whether the US decides to deploy forces anywhere is completely irrelevant. We can see that the US is incapable of projecting power. This is precisely why agreements are meaningless when parties cannot compel other participants to honor their commitments.
I can assure you, America's sons will never again participate in any wars. This is simply impossible.
P.S. The DEA could have gone and arrested two or three dozen sanctioned Russian warmongers' relatives with normal, honest drugs, but instead, Russians will endlessly humiliate Trump with these endless hostages as they did with Biden. Honestly, I imagined "great again" differently.
I love you too, Rod, these four stupid paragraphs were written without the slightest hope of understanding and without the slightest illusions. The role of the 'watchdog of common sense' demands its due. Someone has to talk about the emperor's new clothes.

Yes, Alex, I know you want Ukraine to bleed out. Good luck with that. Maybe you can talk Zelensky into it.

By which I suppose you mean send our sons to die for every square inch of territory Ukraine wants?
No thank you.
