Welp, he's not going to get what he wants, as this isn't something the Ukrainians are ever going to agree to. Can't blame them.

Yeah, but he'll get the next best thing that he wants.

He'll get to blame the Ukrainians, wash his hands of the whole thing, and if anyone points out that he failed to achieve the peace he claimed to be able to deliver he'll point the finger at Zelenskyy for being unreasonable for not taking his deal.

You might say that you can't blame them. But enough of Trump's base will blame them for not agreeing to this. Vance and Rubio and other Admin representatives will fan out and spread the word that the continuation of the war is due to Ukraine's intransigence in rejecting the perfect peace plan that Trump had fashioned. It won't get Trump consideration for any Peace Prizes, of course - but as long as his supporters can blame Ukraine instead of the things that Trump has done, it's a win for him.

A loss for nearly everyone else, but a win for him....
