Bennett tells the story very clearly that they had made significant progress in

in reaching an agreement.

This is Zelensky on one side and Putin on the other.

Bennett is talking in person to both Putin and Zelensky.

And what happens to produce failure?

The answer is the United States and Britain get involved and tell Zelensky to walk.

They tell Zelensky to walk.

If they had come in and encouraged Zelensky to try to figure out a way

with Putin to shut this one down and worked with Bennett and worked with Erdogan, we might have been able to shut the war down then.

But it was the United States.

Let me just embellish your argument, okay?

Thank you.

I need it.

If we say there's a sliver of a chance that you can do this, and I do think there is a sliver of a chance, let me just embellish your point.

Thank you.

I need all the help I can get.

Two things have to be done here, in my opinion.

One is Ukraine has to become neutral.

And it has to completely sever all security ties with the West, right?

It's not like you can say we're not going to expand NATO to include Ukraine, but we're going to continue to have some loose security arrangement with Ukraine.
