Here’s Gabbard urging Biden to cave to Putin's demand, as Carlson puts on his deep-pondering face and nods.

GABBARD: President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with Russia by doing something very simple: guaranteeing that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. Because if Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put U.S. and NATO troops directly on the doorstep of Russia which, as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interests.

The reality is that it is highly, highly unlikely that Ukraine will ever become a member of NATO anyway. So, the question is why doesn’t President Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that –

CARLSON: Yes!

GABBARD: - and guarantee it.

As these two almost surely know, the reason why, as Vox explains, is because a) NATO has an open-door policy that says each country can choose for itself whether to become a member and b) making such a concession would effectively give Russia a veto on NATO membership and cooperation.

There's also some historical with them both at the C&L link, such as a certain someone possibly getting called out by HRC for being a Russian asset.
