The sudden stampede of European leaders to Washington to buttress Ukraine’s position in any future peace agreement with Russia seems to have paid off, at least in the short term, with the talks focused on security guarantees for Ukraine.

Trump's word can't be trusted any more than Putin's. Trump will say whatever seems politically opportune at the moment and will reverse course in a second. He's in Putin's pocket; no leader with an ounce of morals would boast of a good relationship with a war criminal like Putin.

Trump is a feeble minded transactional man. All it will take is a call from Putin to go back to Social Media ranting that 'Only He Can Fix It', that Zelensky must give up his first born & give up Ukraine land w/o any meaningful security guarantees & threaten EU with Tariffs if they don't agree.🤣

Since the very beginning of his presidency, it's been obvious that Zelensky is crafty and astute, reads the room well. If anyone can bring Ukraine through this whole, it's him.

Trump looked nothing like the President of the United States, nothing like a dealmaker and powerbroker, in this strange performance. Merz and his colleagues were, rather, paying their respects to a mad king; a man who is losing his sense of reality

The United States has already reneged on the security agreement they signed when Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons in return for a guarantee of security by the US. They can't be trusted. And that goes for both parties.

Europe was jolted by Dump's clear incompetence. The Alaska meeting will go down in history as one of the most useless and ill thought out diplomatic events ever. It is lucky the Europeans do have the strength of being detail oriented and thoughtful. Something entirely lacking in this administration.
