Diplomacy is only as good as the diplomats. And the State Department is stocked with globalist surrender monkeys who love high profile multi-lateral deals which work only when the United States accepts the short straw.

These deals (Kosovo-Serbia, UAE-Israel) were successfully negotiated because they involved a small number of parties with the United States acting only as an honest broker, not a paymaster, sort of like the way we used to do things before the "professional diplomats" took charge.

Theodore Roosevelt successfully brokered a peace to end the Russo-Japanese War. Before that, Rutherford B. Hayes successfully brokered a peace to end the Paraguayan War.

The administration's timing was also immaculate, oh, is run by that "Art of the Deal" guy. :^)
