This was a setup. It wasn't meant to be a meeting where policy is negotiated, it was an attempt bully Zelensky into agreeing to a bunch of pro-Russian falsehoods in hopes that he'd get something from the US. Good on him for realizing that Ukraine will get nothing from our compromised government, pushing back against false narratives and not hurting his cause trying to pursue a "compromise" just like the one that Ukraine got in 2015 that Russia reneg'd on almost immediately.


If we're going down the conspiracy theory route, is it not equally plausible that this was a setup by Zelinsky?


"Alice, schedule a meeting for me. At the white house. I'm gonna get Trump and Vance."


No, because Zelenskyy is a president whose country has been invaded, and Trump is a bully who craves power. These two men are not equivalent, and if you can't see that, then you are beyond help.
