Every member of the Trump administration is lazy AF. Their sole qualification for their positions is how they appear on TV. Of course none of them is prepared to sit down and negotiate a peace deal piece by piece. They need to be given a script, and Putin's team (not picked for their photogenic quality) are only to happy to give them one

@tcnicholls I'd go the other way: they're charged with the impossible task of reconciling their boss's incoherent and unrealistic demands with reality, so most of the folks who actually do stuff are running around trying to make it work.
Yeah, the headliners are just pretty newscasters, but the ones behind the scenes who don't show up on TV are probably working very hard to sort out the mess coming out of the Oval Office on a daily basis.
A Russian-Ukrainian peace deal is a great example where they're engaged in a complex task with Trump pulling the rug out from under them with his rhetoric.
