What an absolute sham of an event that was, it was a setup to denigrate and minimize Zelysnky and continue to establish the necessary conditions within the US for a complete withdrawal of support and appeasement of Russia. Trump doesn’t care one bit about Ukraine, and clearly is holding a grudge from his first term.
Let’s start with the fact that Russian state media was there, I’m not sure what they are doing in the US, let alone the White House and even worse the Oval Office. This was no mistake and sends a very clear message to Russia.
Next we have the planted question about clothes, meant to humiliate him in front of the new king.
Now we move to the lecture by Vance on diplomacy. That’s like saying you should speak nicely to the lion eating your leg. His people are dead and wounded, he either sits there and takes that crap, thus ceding the ground in front of state media and for the public or he pushes back and gets the response he did.
In the end what changes?
Russia gets a stronger signal the US will capitulate in everything and the end is near.
The rest of the world gets an even deeper view to the unreliability of the US as a partner for the foreseeable future, and better start figuring it out. My one wish is that all foreign leaders stop visiting this idiot, he’s feeding off the world coming to him. Start to ignore him and isolate him, there’s no upside to the visit.
In the US nothing really changes, the right will move closer to achieving unity in abandoning Ukraine, Europe and becoming more isolationist. The left will get angrier, but can’t do anything. And I’ve lost all hope for independents actually doing much, they created this mess and they won’t suddenly turn, cause the economy or something.
This is what you get when a reality star deals with real world problems.
