I mean, do you think Russia's position is, look, we've got the momentum on the battlefield
00:06
at this particular moment, after these long winters where not a lot happens on the battlefield
00:11
because everyone's frozen into their positions, so why would we stop fighting now?
00:15
Do you think that's where they're coming from?
00:17
Well, you know, I think that's where they've always been.
00:20
And that's what's been most perplexing about President Trump's view of Vladimir Putin's
00:25
intentions, which is he seems to think that Putin does want to cease fire, claims that
00:30
that was discussed on the phone.
00:33
And the result is that the United States, we've given up much of our diplomatic leverage
00:37
over Russia through rhetoric in particular related to, for example, the Secretary of
00:43
Defense saying that the United States would not accept Ukraine into NATO, of course, the
00:49
dressing down of Vladimir Zelensky in the Oval Office.
00:53
And then after that, the withdrawal of American military and intelligence support, which led
00:59
to a surge in Russian offensive activity.
01:03
So it might very well be, and this is a lot of the discussion in Washington, that President
01:08
Trump has rose-colored glasses on what he thinks Vladimir Putin's intentions are.
01:14
Well, I think those glasses might now just be about ready to come off.
