Skepticism remains high about the Russian leader’s intentions after he told Tucker Carlson that the war in Ukraine could be settled with a peace deal.

    They literally were negotiating at the start of the war for this exact outcome: Russia pulls out and Ukraine maintains neutrality.

    Johnson threw a wrench in those plans.

      Ukraine was never going to abort neutrality lol. Being a NATO member does not affect neutrality.

      Also remember the Budapest Memorandum? Ukraine literally gave up nuclear weapons as instructed by Russia, for the promise that was broken.

      I’d say the wrench was thrown by someone else. Or, rather, someone hit their own head by a wrench good enough to lose all mind.
