Here it is: “You’re in or you’re out.”

“Make a deal or you’re out, and if you’re out, we’ll force it.”

He offered all sorts of deals to Putin, but Putin doesn’t want to be a major economic team player and build a commercial powerhouse—if that means ending the war. He’s on a crusade. He wants what Mother Russia once had and gave up. So he’s out. Russia’s economy is NOT flourishing. It’s teetering. The war is draining it.
