Zelensky doesn’t have the cards to play the winning hand and D.J. Vince expects plenty of thank yous while Trump blames Biden for weakness.
During the White House Meeting, Zelensky pointed the truth out from Ukraine's 2019 agreement with Putin. “Putin broke the ceasefire, he killed Ukrainians, and didn’t exchange prisoners.” Then Zelensky asked, “What type of diplomacy are you speaking about?” directed to vice president, JD Vance.
“With respect, I think it disrespectful for you to come into the Oval office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.” Blur, Blur, blur, “You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.”
Zelensky is fighting for his country. Trump is bowing down to Putin's mercy. JD Vance is undiplomatic as he repeatedly asked the president of Ukraine to say, “Thank you!”
Zelensky was trying to clarify Ukraine’s experience from past agreements. Of course, he wants to seek a peace agreement, but not if it backfires again. He was most definitely speaking on his people’s behalf although backlash from Trump supporters blame him for wanting to continue fighting.
Trump came across as a know-all, criticizing Biden all the time, and bragging about his past achievements, and expecting total submissiveness from Zelensky.
The best way to assess this White House meeting is by watching the video in full swing!
Take care!
