Puerile US leadership to decide whether ending the war in Ukraine — which the US started and keeps feeding — is possible

The more it stays the same
National asininity comes in no more blatant form than this:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Donald Trump will decide if ending the war in Ukraine is possible sometime in the coming days.
“We’re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks,” Rubio told reporters in Paris.
Trump and Rubio have stated that Russia is not engaging quickly enough in the diplomatic process.
The president and secretary of state have both threatened new sanctions on Russia in recent weeks if the Kremlin does not agree to a deal to end the conflict very soon.
Moscow appears to be unwilling to accelerate the pace of talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Earlier this week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the issue was “so complex that it’s unrealistic to expect immediate results.”

So, let's see . . .
The US essentially expanded NATO right up to Russia's borders after promising not to.
Built a NATO-style army in Ukraine.
Couped a pro-Russian Ukraine president out of power in 2014.
Installed Ukro-Nazis into power in his place. And then, let them kill 14,000 Russian heritage folk in the Donbas.
Built more than 50 bioweapons labs in Ukraine. Some reportedly working on a wishfully conceived anti-Slavic virus.
Motivated Ukraine to move its NATO-trained, Nazi-led army toward Russia's western border, so as to finish the Russians-elimination job.
And after all that deadly aggressiveness, professed to be horrified — when Russia invaded to stop these exceedingly obvious threats to the Russian Federation's security.
Aggressively staying in their imperial character, NATO and the United States then began directly militarily assisting the Ukrainians with their attacks on Russia and Russians.
Right down to providing all the necessary money, armaments, satellite-directed targeting and military intelligence — including first-hand lobbing missiles and drones into Russia proper.
And now . . .
. . . after at least a million proxied Ukrainians have died, as well as probably more than 100,000 Russians — all due to US actions — the formerly 'I can end the war in 24 hours' Trump effectively confesses that achieving peace is too difficult a task for his impulsively scattered, irritatingly impatient, and narcissistic self.
The moral? — So, tell me . . .
Why would anyone of right mind want to do diplomacy or business with this set of ignorant, arrogant, mindlessly homicidal American clowns?
President Trump is (apparently) eagerly competing with Dead Brain Biden to go down in History as the United States' worst and most America-damaging president.
No bar is too low to excel at reaching, where US leadership is concerned.
