"Tough" diplomacy, not unlimited funding for Ukraine, is the key to ending its war with Russia, Ric Grenell, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany said on Newsmax on Thursday.
"Every single war is going to end with some sort of a peace deal, so we need to start working on this peace deal," Grenell told "Wake Up America." "I don't understand why Antony Blinken, our secretary of state is not offering ideas."
He further commented that he listened to commentary by U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink on Wednesday, and "she was talking like she worked at the Pentagon."
"She was talking like a warmonger about war and missiles, and that's not what diplomats are supposed to do," said Grenell. "I want to see tough diplomats talking about peace deals and pushing people to the table and away from war. That's what we need at the State Department."
Democrats, however, "like to make fun of tough diplomacy," Grenell added. "They think we're mean to our allies and to others when we're tough, but I think that having tough diplomats means you avoid war."
