I am not so sure about spirited debate, but I agree trump wants honour and respect. The apology that came from Zelensky reminds me of a prostitute paid to say that it is the biggest dick she has seen.

Again, Trump is right. The priority is to stop DEATH. Who gives an honest shit about borders and 'the right side of history' when all those people who actually care about it are 6 feet underground?

I don't think this is what they are trying to do though. They absolutely care about borders, regardless if people are six feet under. What if the end to the war and the stop of death was a deal where Russia got the mining rights? Would that be approved by the US?
