A few days ago, the US president falsely branded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator” who started Russia’s war in Ukraine and had “no cards” to play.
But on Friday the Ukrainian war hero will get a full White House welcome.
“We’re going to have a very good meeting. … We’re going to get along really well. OK. We have a lot of respect. I have a lot of respect for him,” Trump said Thursday.
Zelensky has had his own epiphany.
Last week, he accused Trump of ushering Russian President Vladimir Putin out of isolation after the US sent his officials to peace talks in Saudi Arabia without Ukraine. And he warned that the US president was living in a “disinformation space.”
But Zelensky has learned a critical lesson: Give Trump the win.
Interestingly in Canada, the prime minister leaerned the same lesson but decided to not give Trump the win because he wanted to whip up patriotic fervour and give his party a chance to be re-elected.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I said it here or on twitter, but a few days ago I said that zelensky is negotiating with trump. It's just that CNN take a few days to understand my chiddushim
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think Israel voted with the US and Russia the other day? Trump is a great friend when he's happy with you and a potentially terrifying enemy when he's not and right now Israel desperately needs him as a friend.
