Why does everything have to be "A Deal"

There does not need to be "a deal" in ending this invasion of Ukraine.
Putin get the hell out or the world is going to unleash hell on YOU.
Deal is when trump is trying to scam a way to enrich himself

"The world" is not going to "unleash hell" on Russia or they'd have done it by now. President Jackass certainly isn't going to give Ukraine what they need to fend off the drones and glide bombs.

It's a war of attrition and Putin/Russia does not value human life - they'll keep throwing Russian men into the grinder until there aren't any left. He really does believe his paranoid bullshit about restoring Russia's glory and NATO forcing him into this war.

I know that is simplistic - but you're dealing with a person that lives in a very basic world.
