CNN’s Ashley Allison: We Need Trump To Be Successful in Russia-Ukraine Negotiation; ‘We Cannot Afford’ for Putin to Succeed

‘It‘s one thing not to send money to Ukraine, but it‘s another thing to be completely disrespectful to their leader’

EXCERPT:

ALLISON: “I agree with you that a lot of Americans don’t want more money to be sent to Ukraine, but I think what we should all look at on the global stage is what does it mean for other — our allies and our enemies to see how we are handling this current conflict with Putin and Zelenskyy. And it is much more — it has a larger implication than just what happens to Ukraine. It is a global conversation that I think does really weaken our standing. Again, you know, we’re moving this out of politics for a second. I know it’s hard to do that in this city. We need Donald Trump to be successful in this negotiation because we cannot afford as a country, as a globe, for Putin to succeed. And his current approach, despite — to Chuck’s, everyone’s advice but his narcissism has let him be unable to really see who Putin is. And not just that, the way he actually treats our allies. It’s one thing not to send money to Ukraine, but it’s another thing to be completely disrespectful to their leader and undermine his leadership in those negotiations.”
