And it was my view going back, you know, for some years that like that it was clear that the Biden administration needed to be pushing for negotiations over Ukraine. There was not going to be some end game here where Ukraine got all of its territory back. But, but, but, but. I don't think it is reasonable to look at what he is doing and say that is the norm that he has broken.

And that was like a big deal in American foreign policy, something Obama did against very heavy criticism, something that cost him and cost Democrats in Florida and among Cuban voters in the following election. So I just don't think that that's that unusual thing with Trump.
