Navy SEAL Dissects Ukraine Negotiations Strategy In Must-Watch Chrissy Clark Interview

Independent journalist Chrissy Clark interviewed Navy SEAL and Newsmax host Carl Higbie in late February about the ongoing negotiations within the Russia-Ukraine war. “In this conversation, Carl explains the political, military, and diplomatic factors driving (and hurting) these high-stakes talks,” Clark says in the description. What Does Higbie Think Now? Higbie’s conversation with Clark happened just days before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy got into a nasty little shouting match with Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump, according to DCNF. The argument commenced as Zelenskyy openly criticized the U.S. for not stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which happened under the leadership of President Joe Biden. “The part of history they don’t want you to know about Ukraine war.”pic.twitter.com/ffiwTwRkaU — Carl Higbie (@CarlHigbie) March 4, 2025 Higbie broke down his feelings on the situation during various segments on his nightly Newsmax show (5pm ET Monday – Friday). JD Vance Calls Out European Leaders Following the heated exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy, Vance took to Fox News to call out Europeans who “puff up their chests” and back the war in public, but immediately change their tune as soon as the journalists are out of earshot, according to Breitbart. “I don’t care what the Europeans say in public” because it is so different to what they say behind closed doors. Peace is what everyone realizes is best for Ukraine, Russia, and the region. “It’s useful to step back and ask ourselves, what is the actual plan here? You can’t just fund the war forever, the American people won’t stand for it… Our European friends… are doing a disservice to the Ukrainians because their own populations are saying they don’t want to fund the war indefinitely,” Vance added. “The craziest part of this… is sometimes you will have European heads of state who in public will puff up their chests and say, ‘we’re in it with President Zelensky for the next 10 years’, and then in private, they will pick up the phone and say, ‘This can’t go on forever. He has to come to the negotiating table’,” he continued later in the same segment.
