    Watching this feels like a masterclass of diplomacy. Zelenskyy is talking directly and respectfully to the Fox audience, while trying to clearly explain why Ukraine can’t just bow down to faulty peace deals without question.

    I hope Zelenskyy’s adroit maneuvering gets him… somewhere. God knows the US can’t be relied on, but keeping a good image may help with Europe.

      Okay, that’s creepy. I just saw an 11 minute video of the “diplomacy” meeting (I think the Forbes one), and I haven’t even watched the one you linked, but I glanced at the comments and most of the highest upvoted ones are identical between the two videos. There’s some serious botting going on.

      Not sure how you think Zelensky is the one that was humiliated.

      Trump blowing is the one that was humiliated by the events, not that he’s capable of understanding that through his narcissistic personality. All he did was show his complete inability to actually operate at this level. There were 3 people in that discussion, and the only adult was Ukrainian. Being the only adult in the room isn’t humiliating.

      If 3 years after the start of an invasion is too early, then when? Additionally, you sure that’s the one who was humiliated?

      LOL, only Trumpers think Zelensky was the one that looked bad in that altercation. Everyone else in the world knows Trump and Vance were behaving like angry children at him fact-checking them, and he took their tantrums like a champ. You’re the one with a distorted view of reality.
