Trump is a negotiator. Negotiators don’t take sides (as Zelensky wanted him to). Negotiators, if successful, reach conclusions that benefit all and simultaneously piss off everyone.

Putin will never surrender. He would send his grandchildren into battle if he thought it would help. Reference 1,000 years of Russian history.

So the choice is endless carnage or an end that no one likes but stems the bloodshed.

And with a minerals deal that puts American resources (not American military) on the ground, the Administration will have a strong incentive to pushing initiatives that maintain peace.
