And got thrown out of the White House.
Lack of gra ude? It's not difficult to dig out every time Zelensky said thank you to the US for their support against the invader. There's no "peace deal" possible if Ukraine and Europe are not involved. That's just a non-starter.
Frankly, he went to the oval office and told Trump right in his face he won't get bullied by him or Putler. That's what standup people do.
And got thrown out of the White House.
They will have to USA is done
He delivered the message
For 4 years, looks likely...
‘Free world needs a new leader’: Europe defends Zelenskyy after Trump attack
France, Germany and Poland all make prompt declarations of support as Europe fears Trump’s alignment with Putin.
BRUSSELS ― European leaders on Friday rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after United States President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office.
European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: “Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.”
In what may prove to a significant turning point in the tottering postwar Western alliance between Europe and the United States, the Europeans pushed back against Washington’s increasing alignment with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Trump's browbeating of Zelenskyy.
“There is an aggressor, which is Russia and a people who have suffered aggression, which is Ukraine,” said French President Emmanuel Macron, hitting back at Trump’s attempts to treat the two sides evenly. “You have to respect those who have been fighting since the beginning because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, for their children, and for the security of Europe.”
Macron also noted that the U.S. had not been the only country to support Kyiv, stressing that it was also backed by European countries, Canada and Japan.
In the Oval Office, Trump told Zelenskyy his refusal to concede to Russia at the negotiating table was “gambling with World War III.”
Later, Macron told Portuguese television: “If someone is playing World War III, his name is Vladimir Putin.”

Yup, USA is done as superpower, no longer able to enforce Pax Americana. Afraid of Russia. Weak, so sad.

Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

Vance’s presence at the White House also suggests that the meeting was a setup. Vance is usually an invisible backbencher in this administration, with few duties other than some occasional trolling of Trump’s critics. (The actual business of furthering Trump’s policies is apparently now Elon Musk’s job.) This time, however, he was brought in to troll not other Americans, but a foreign leader. Marco Rubio—in theory, America’s top diplomat—was also there, but he sat glumly and silently while Vance pontificated like an obnoxious graduate student.
Zelensky objected, as he should have, when the vice president castigated the Ukrainian president for not showing enough personal gra ude to Trump. And then in a moment of immense hypocrisy, Vance told Zelensky that it was “disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.” But baiting Zelensky into fighting in front of the media was likely the plan all along, and Trump and Vance were soon both yelling at Zelensky. (“This is going to be great television,” Trump said during the meeting.) The president at times sounded like a Mafia boss—“You don’t have the cards”; “you’re buried there”—but in the end, he sounded like no one so much as Putin himself as he hollered about “gambling with World War III,” as if starting the biggest war in Europe in nearly a century was Zelensky’s idea.

lol the Atlantic
USA was done as a superpower it once was after taking on $35 trillion of debt financing wars and other things it couldn’t afford.
I don’t see any new answers coming from Europe right now that will meet Zelenskyy demands.
Great. You give up. You're done.
You don't see a lot of things tbh.
Are you even sober?
Of course.Are you even sober?
Your defeatism is terminal.
Apparently there's a lot you missed. They've certainly put their money where their mouth is, and their support is united and unwavering. It's existential for them.
All this does is strengthen Europe in the long run, which is nothing but detrimental to US interests, be it geopolitical or economic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_MemorandumAccording to the three memoranda, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively removing all Soviet nuclear weapons from their soil, and that they agreed to the following:
- Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act).
- Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
- Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.
- Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
- Not to use nuclear weapons against any non–nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.
- Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.
Europe is a senile angry old woman
She will get on her knees and fellate Uncle Sam as usual
That was all planned.
Boom
They haven't.
