Kai Grant: william taylor's optimism is adorable but let's be real, the u.s. has made almost zero effort to actually broker a compromise between russia and ukraine
🐺 Elena M.: Taylor sounds like he's sugarcoating the fact that those US emissaries got completely steamrolled by Russia - at least, judging from his tone
Noahreyes: Taylor's phrase 'diplomacy is not a zero-sum game' stuck with me, but it's clear that's still a tough idea to execute in practice
Shadow Rune: kinda sounds like they were more focused on playing defense than finding common ground though 🕳️
Dusk Cipher: talking to Taylor always feels like a déjà vu from the 90s diplomatic circus
Felix: just when i thought i was done with geopolitics
Vasquezfelix: still amazed by how many layers there are in this situation
Amir: Taylor talks sense for once. Still waiting on more concrete steps from our 'diplomats' though
Jonas: taylor's description of the meetings makes them sound more like a series of polite nods than actual efforts towards compromise, which is depressing given the stakes
