One good thing to come out of that meeting is that it is now totally clear with no doubt that trump was never going to support Ukraine. Europe and the other allies now clearly see that they can’t trust or depend on the US again, at least as long as trump or a trumpian leader controls the US government. Don’t despair because although it will be more difficult, with all the other allies’ unwavering support Putin can still be stopped.
The meeting was a setup to put on a display demonstrating to Putin that the US is now on Russia’s side. No matter what President Zelenskyy would have done, their goal would be achieved. By defending himself and his country against their lies they could call him ungrateful and disrespectful, and if he had not done that but sat and let them promote Putin’s talking points unchallenged, they would portray him as confirming the Russian propaganda as well as being corrupt and/or weak. So IMO he bravely did the right thing, and it was not a mistake because no amount of capitulation to trump is going to get any aid for Ukraine from the US.
🇺🇦 Хай живе Україна 🇺🇦 Long live Ukraine 🇺🇦
Now is the time for Ukraine to just ignore the US. Stop taking calls, stop everything. There are other arms dealers out there, Europe has a chance right now to gain independence from US defense as well. Nothing would upset little Donny more than the rest of Europe telling him he’s fired before he can get around to doing it to them.
You can’t beat a bully by sucking up to them, you have to ignore them or hit them first.
Arm dealers won’t let the US puppet in charge stop them from making money they are going to find another way to sell weapon to ukraine ( and russia too )
Now is the time for Ukraine to just ignore the US
I’m not sure if Europe is willing enough to pick up the slack. Not sucking Don’s dick might mean having to concede to Russia.
Europe doesn’t have a choice. They are stuck between two rogue nations, the US and Russia…
I am concerned as well about Europe finding the will to work together, even now when the necessity couldn’t be more obvious. However certainly there is a future where, if Europe can pull together, they can defeat Russia.
Russia isn’t so effective because they’re powerful, it’s because they’re willing to cross the line and do anything to take advantage of the comfort of their neighbors. If the EU wakes up to this, surely their combined might could comfortably contain Russia.

Okay, but this time let’s not invade in winter and make sure we bring supplies.
