Well, who didn鈥檛 see the Trump Zelensky meltdown coming?
The whole thing was a show for the crowds and not a real play for peace.
Before the summit Zelensky made it very clear that he wanted a ceasefire but with security guarantees.
Reportedly America told Zelensky not to mention the security guarantees at the press conference. But that鈥檚 the heart of his position.
He doesn鈥檛 trust Putin because they鈥檝e had a ceasefire with Putin before Putin broke.
Trump made it very clear he wants out and he wants a payoff of minerals for everything the US has put in so far.
He has a mandate for that. He campaigned on it and he got the vote.
So, when they met and the press started recording, Trump and Vance spoke as though their plan was a fait d鈥檃ccompli.
But it wasn鈥檛. Ukraine has always said 鈥渘o security guarantees no deal鈥
So, when Zelensky starts reminding them of what had happened in the past, Trump and Vance went two on one and gave him a lesson.
It was schoolyard stuff. Beating up the immigrant kid with English as a second language.
Trump and Vance were playing to their American public.
The American public that voted for Trump that are sick of trillions of their dollars going to a place they barely know.
That American public is now saying Zelensky wants to continue with the war.
But that's not so. Europe is prepared to ensure the peace, but America is not.
Putin must love it. America is now selfish and irrelevant while Europe's underinvestment in defence is glaring.
And I need to remind Americans that back in the day when Winston Churchill came to Washington to convince
America to enter World War 2 he came dressed in a military boiler suit to signify he was in an actual war while the Americans weren鈥檛.
Zelensky is in a war. Trump and Vance are not.
