Paul Gosar looks to add "diplomat" to the list of things he's bad at

Pointed at this by Taegan Goddard's Political Wire.

From Politico -

Paul Gosar invited Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Arizona for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

It's unlikely that the two foreign leaders will respond, given that Ukraine isn't ready to negotiate yet. 

What's happening: Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) invited Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Arizona to negotiate peace talks between the two countries, as Ukraine faces its eighth month of war against the Russian invasion.

The details: In a letter posted Wednesday on conservative social media platform Truth Social, Gosar invited the two leaders to Phoenix to "begin conversations to deescalate nuclear tensions, terminate the war, and end the death and destruction plaguing both your nations." Before his plea, Gosar put a disclaimer at the beginning of the letter that the lawmaker is "not a diplomat," but rather a "mere member of Congress" who wants to offer a means to pursue peace between the two countries.

The link above goes to Truth Social.  I won't go there, but readers can make their own decisions.


If they *do* meet (a big "if"), I expect the conversation to go thusly -


Gosar:[Looking at Zelensky] "What needs to happen for there to be peace in the Ukraine?"

Zelensky: [Looking at Putin] "Go away."

Putin; [Looking at both] "Nyet."

Gosar:[Looking at Zelensky]: "You've gotta give him something."

Zelensky: [Standing up and looking at Gosar] "You go away, too."
