Fully expect Trump to have another go at Zelensky saying he should give up land to Russia. Zelensky should retort -would you give up Texas and New Mexico if Brazil invaded?

Trump is like Johnson with a tendency to agree with the last person he has spoken to.

I switched off - it's such a superficial "analysis" based on personalities and constant sneering at Russia. I have no illusions about old KGB Putin and his kleptocrat thugs but NATO is at least as much to blame. Ukr will have to compromise and if Zul can't utter the words, he'll have to make way.

Why suggest they’re ‘panicking ‘ when they’re doing the right thing and showing support for Ukraine? You always say this type of comment when a party responds or defends itself re Farage/Reform eg :’why are Labour so scared or obsessed with Farage’ it could just be legitimate responses to BS ?

I haven’t listened to your podcast but a quote “are they panicking” seems over the top. These are leaders of European countries who face a situation where the US allies with Russia as opposed to Europe. They are taking steps to defend themselves against a US/Russia alliance.

Panicking implies being out of control . Rather than a unified action to support Ukraine .

I’d like to think that they are mobilising towards a position of meaningful resistance to Trump & Putin rather than “panicking”.

Will Zelensky wear suit? Will Trumpski roll out the red carpet for the Europe delegation, like he did for Putin, is the more pertinent question. And I think we all know the answer to that.

Suit? LOL reminds me of, "We cannot go naked into the conference chamber." Remind me, was that Ernie Bevin?

So, basically, the price of getting Trumpski to back Ukraine is a Nobel Peace Prize. And what makes anybody think Trumpski will stick to his word? Give him the bauble and he'll still do Putin's bidding. Putin owns Trumpski. Surely, everyone knows this. Trumpski has sold Ukraine out.

Panicking? Seems an odd take. Post Alaska, giving Zelensky support against 2 tyrants more like it.

They need to tell trump that he either joins with them or with Russia, there is no alternative.

Poor analysis for me. This is about a show of strength with Zelensky. It is not a 'panic' as suggested. Best scenario, they can get Trump exiting the stage but maintain US intel and weapons supply. Then, Putin deals directly with Zelensky, not Trump. Better scenario they get sanctions imposed.

If the fat orange turd agrees to fall in with Europe, you know they might help him with his Peace Prize and a street in Kyiv named after him.

when are people going to realise that Trump if green lighting China invading Taiwan? Because if the illegal aggressor gets to keep territory, then the whole world order is screwed.
