This will be just like his ‘deal’ with the Taliban he made like 10 days before he left office last time, and that the Biden admin was legally required to honour, and that the ensuing clusterfuck everyone blamed Biden for.

This is his MO. This time, he won’t have someone else to blame, but he’s likely too stupid to realise it will be on him this time. In his mind, that ‘deal’ with the Taliban that left out Afghan officials was ‘a great deal, the best deal’. I hope he steps in it this time.

Putin will wipe the floor with him, but to his cultists, this will look like a great deal that Zelenskyy is too stubborn to accept, even though Ukraine will be left out and the ‘deal’ will involve unacceptable concessions.

It will please the flock, though, and they won’t even register that Putin is leading them by the nose ring.
