What do you make of it? It was a shit show. We've never seen anything quite like it. Basically, the U.S. has been a supporter of Ukraine for, even if it's been insufficiently supportive, it's been a supporter of Ukraine for three years, spending somewhere in the ballpark of $60 to $100 billion to help Ukraine ward off an aggressor, Russia.

And now we have a new Trump administration that invites Zelensky into kind of work out a deal, figure out how the U.S. might continue to support. And in this discussion where Zelensky is saying, hey, this is what the Russians are doing to our troops. They just kidnapped 20,000 of our kids and are brainwashing them. Trump and Vance.

attack Zelensky and say that he's not motivated to conduct peace and that Russia is not such a bad guy. In this meeting, Trump basically sides with Russia and attacks Ukraine. And Zelensky, in a very valiant way, stands his ground and tries to make the point that Russia can't be trusted. Russia is the bad actor. The U.S. is in danger by buying in, by constantly deceiving itself about Russia.

And that devolves further into accusations that Ukraine's ungrateful. It was just something that we haven't seen. Not just undiplomatic, but a betrayal of Ukraine and our Western values and the way we interact with the world. It's 180 degrees different than it has been with any administration preceding.

It's been a constant parade. Those guys in Beijing and Kremlin have to be constantly drunk because they're endlessly popping bottles of champagne at the wins that they score, really without having to lift that much of a finger. I mean, all Putin had to do thus far is to say that he's interested in peace. He hasn't shown that he's interested in peace.

He hasn't started to ease the war, which he could do by just issuing an order. He's the aggressor. And instead, what we have is Trump constantly catering to Russia, signaling that he's willing to normalize relationships, that Russia has been treated too harshly And this is just really unacceptable for somebody like Zelensky, whose country has suffered enormous losses and has enormous suffering.

And the Europeans also understand the truth of the matter and are redoubling their support, are interested in pitching in more to help Ukraine. Ukraine is in their backyard. They know that Russia is eyeing the West and eyeing some additional territories. So Lindsey Graham is an absolute coward. because Trump did not sound strong. He was attacking a ally when he didn't need to.
