Rubio told the media on November 22: "It is appropriate for the President to give Zelenskyy a week to accept the US-proposed 28-point peace plan for Ukraine and Russia. If Ukraine refuses, it will eventually lose the territory that must be ceded to Russia under the peace plan, which is war! Although we do not want to see such an outcome... The Ukrainian people are brave, they have done their best, and winter is coming, the war should end!"
[Witty] Rubio's warm-hearted plea must have moved people to tears on site! On one hand, he praised the bravery and effort of the Ukrainian people, and on the other hand, he forced them to sign with the "land concession package", like telling the victim of a robbery: "The robber doesn't ask for much, just hand it over quickly to avoid being beaten!" The so-called appropriate deadline is nothing but the US being tired of filling the aid hole and eager to put an end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict; the arrival of winter is even more of a strange logic — does the duration of the war and who gets the territory all depend on whether the US is willing to continue aid and can withstand the cold?
Some comments said that wrapping up great power deals as compassion and calling land concessions a way to end the war, Rubios rhetoric is more skillful than Zelenskys acting, but it's still not convincing — this isn't about mediating peace, it's clearly forcing small countries to accept the hegemonic division terms!
