Ok so now you seem to be saying - that if Biden is not going to appease the dictator by giving him the Sudentenland, then we should throw the baby out with the bathwater and not even engage the dictator about Americans in prison. How does that even make sense to you?

Once the administration has taken the decision that Putin is not allowed to carve up europe - which you don't seem to have any problem with? - your issue is that he's additionally still engaging the ruZkis about grinner. You seem to be saying that if we're not going to talk territory then we shouldn't be talking at all.

Did you stop to consider that maybe the Grinner conversation with the ruzzia is helping peace? It keeps contact alive between state departments, it reminds the ruzzians that they have something America wants, it keeps them at a discussion table to talk turkey instead of no contact.

I just dont get how you decided that you are more right about this, than the experienced qualified experts. Kind of mind blowing how you have this high opinion of yourself
