Euro diplomats now basically confirming the theater hypothesis* on background: "European leaders don’t believe Vladimir Putin is sincere about a peace deal — so their strategy is to humor and praise Donald Trump until he finally reaches the same conclusion and realizes he will need to get tougher on the Kremlin"

  There seems to be a split among FP reporters/pundits between those who take the substance at face value (and so, argue minutia of what each statement implies or what each side could offer or accept), and those who believe it's all theater to keep Trump more aligned to each party's respective interests, with no expectation of a deal. I tend to the latter, though there may be an outside chance the theater takes on a life of it's own
