... Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Donald Trump should come forward with his plan to quickly end the war with Russia, warning that any proposal must avoid violating the nation's sovereignty...

Well, I'd suspect that fmr Pres Trump's plan does not include anything that Pres Zelenskiy might say or want, and everything that Pres Putin dictates.

Of course, when fmr Pres Trump says he has a plan, you can be fairly sure he does not.

Candidate Trump on healthcare...

Feb 17, 2016
We're going to have great plans. They're going to be much less expensive and they're going to be much better.

You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it is going to be so easy.

Nov 13, 2016
It will be better healthcare, much better for less money. Not a bad combination.

@#5 ... Trump's plans? ...

That's more just following orders than an actual plan.

@#7 ... Which Trump, like Chamberlain, has already said... give the aggressor what they want. ...

If Pres Putin gets what he wants, there won't be a Ukraine. That's my guess about what fmr Pres Trump's "plan" is, just give Pres Putin what he wants.

Pres Zelensky was totally correct in asking fmr Pres Trump what his plan is.

@#11 ... And what is Biden's plan to end the war in Ukraine? Keep sending just enough help to keep it going, but not enough to actually win it. ...

Sending enough aid to actually end it, may well start a larger war between Russia and the US (and NATO).

That's the problem the US (indeed, NATO) has. How to help Ukraine without expanding the scope of the war.

Fmr Pres Trump, on the other hand, seems to want to just reward Pres Putin's aggressive tendencies, ceding Ukraine to Russia. At which point, the question becomes... what country is next for Pres Putin's aggression?

@#13 ... Why has there been virtually NO diplomacy? ...

The article you cite is from 2022.

Is it still relevant?

If so, what part?

But my view of why there has been little diplomacy s due to the following...

Pres Putin, ~give me all of Ukraine and the war will end.~

Pres Zelensky, ~No.~

@#17

Yup.

Fmr Pres Trump is transactional.

@#19 ... What has the Biden administration done besides say, "Pretty Please, President Putin"? ...

Well, for starters, that is not what the Biden administration has been saying.

Diplomacy is a two-way street.

If the entity on the other side of the diplomacy table, i.e., Pres Putin, is not willing to negotiate, do not blame the Biden administration.

Or do you side with fmr Pres Trump and say negotiations should just cede Ukraine to Pres Putin?
