It's not that they don't want to cut a deal. They do. The problem is that they want to cut deal where they get everything they want after always being on the losing side. It's pretty unprecedented. What happened when they Japanese wanted to "surrender on their own terms"? They got bombed to hell.
Imagine Nazi Germany dictating the terms of their surrender.
