Marco_Rubio_on_negotiations

I saw Marco Rubio talking about trying to negotiate peace. He was talking to George Stephanopoulus from ABC news.

I can’t wrap my mind around how anyone could even begin to think that the way to bring Russia to the negiotiation-table is by making statements like “We can’t trust the russians”, “They have to give up Krimea”, “Ukrain must have security guarantees before we negotiate”.

And Rubio explains that.. again and again. Like it was hard to understand. And - apparently, for ABC-news - it is hard to understand.

But anyone who tried to talk things over with their wife or a relative or a neighbour knows.. you don’t start talking about water under the bridge. You don’t bring up history. You say: HERE we are. HOW do we move forward?

NOTE: I learned a new word from Rubio: Ukraine-splain.
