Well this is unexpected. Maybe Zelensky will be gone before he lands in Ukraine.
I know you’re right, I know you are 100% right.Is he more dangerous than the alternative would have been? I don't think so.
For all the talks about "norms" and "what America aspires to be" lately, I couldn't agree more.I loved--loved--watching that interview, with Trump and Vance holding Zelensky's feet to the fire.
Couldn't have said it better myself.I know you’re right, I know you are 100% right.
I’ve always been more of a diplomat, tried to handle business tactfully and behind closed doors as much as possible.
Trump‘s in your face style might be the right way to go, But it sure is uncomfortable.… Maybe that’s the point? Maybe that’s what this country actually needs.
He can now move his wife to his Paris condo and go to drag shows with Macron.So, I wonder if this is kind of Z's exist strategy. He knows he can't be the guy who gets the country where it needs to go. This way he goes out shaking his fist at the world, and doesn't live long enough as the hero president to die a villain. "We were still fighting when I left."
I can get behind this, as well as the posturing @Blizzard mentioned earlier. The world is a stage... and Zelensky is an actor, after all (who got fired by a reality TV superstar).So, I wonder if this is kind of Z's exist strategy. He knows he can't be the guy who gets the country where it needs to go. This way he goes out shaking his fist at the world, and doesn't live long enough as the hero president to die a villain.

AP got booted out of the press pool, so this isn't the snub you want it to be.Here's something to consider. TASS was allowed to cover this meeting. AP/Reuters were reportedly excluded. This may be theatrics for the Russians. Just something to noodle on.
To be clear, I wasn't hoping one way or another. I'm just here for the show.AP got booted out of the press pool, so this isn't the snub you want it to be.
Zelensky finally said thank you where he feels more comfortable, social media.
We suck.
How many times do you have to say thank you? He's said thank you many times.

There's a lot of oddly pro Russian and Pro Putin talking points in this thread. Putin, hanging out a Kremlin Window. That is where we need to be.
