It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?”

People were trying that last year already, together with the arms deliveries. Until you came along and fucked with everything. You claimed to have such a great plan that you could end the war in 24h. Now, after 2307h in office you realise what everyone knew years ago? Truly a genius.

There must be a specific phrase or stolen-language word for this idiocy, because ‘hubris’ ain’t cutting it. To assume that everyone is wrong for doing it X way that you quickly do a 180 on, only to slowly realize the reality that drove everyone else’s decisions.

And then slowly and very publicly course correct back to ‘the way things were’ while never coming to terms with your mistake.
