So if you want to deal with us, you're dealing with hard-nosed geopolitical interests, right? Yes. There's nothing else here at stake but that. Now you can come to the negotiating table and offer me something.

Uh, And I will say that this is not revolutionary thought here. This is the way foreign policy, things like that, used to be done. It's just post-Cold War, we shifted into this hazy, like, no, we're doing this because we're the most righteous nation on the planet, even though we're also cool with the Saudis and Erdogan and Turkey, I think. It's just about interest here. It's transparency.

It's transparency, and you also do a negotiation by recognizing that both sides have interests in this thing. You do not do a negotiation when you have the UN, which we all know is ridiculous anyway and worthless, but when every single year they're going to do this ceremonial vote, which they just had again, where they say, let's condemn Russia for their invasion again. But why? Why?

We're doing it again. Okay, but why? Does it have anything at all to do with there's certain sides of people at the table that now are looking for peace and not war? Yes. Oh, crap. I wasn't supposed to say that. No, no, no. We're just going to do it again.

We're going to vote again so that they look like the bad guys, the ultimate evil guys twisting their mustachios, and we look like the guy that's coming to save the chick that's tied up on the railroad. That's why we want to do it.

I mean, I can't. I mean, it's sad to say that that that that's what we have to admit now after this many years and this much escalation. I think that now going back to the UN vote, which is what everybody was clutching their pearls on, that we kind of, well, we did vote along with Russia and not condemning this invasion because we've already done it in the past.

Everyone understands, Stu's giving me the stink eye and I'm just gonna like say this anyway. Because, yes, obviously everyone agrees that the invasion shouldn't have happened. All the people should not have died. This is a bad thing. And Russia did do that. But why say it again? That's not how you advance in any kind of negotiation. That's not how you do it.

Most of these articles are not putting the main headline that the United States offered a counter-resolution that did get voted on, not in the General Assembly, but amongst the Security Council, which did pass. which took out all the inflammatory language. It did not finger point back and forth. It acknowledged the fact that this invasion sucks, the war sucks, and all these people have died.
