A nuanced view of the Trump/Vance and Zelensky meeting today is that all parties handled it poorly.
Zelensky is clearly trying to gather support via media and strong man approach. I get it, I would too. But more diplomacy and politicking would’ve helped maybe if you need us/Trump
Trump and Vance are showing a lot of pro-Putin/Russia bias. They can’t zoom out and see the bigger picture, just want to put Zelensky in his place.

IMO they are not pro-Putin, rather they are against the looting of the US Treasury, as happened under Biden .. what % of those billions actually made it to the frontline soldiers in Ukraine?
Perhaps all Russian bias is, is a realisation this is all about NATO aggression. He’s a businessman and sees the minerals deal. Pushing East is NEVER going to happen. Time for peace and making money is Trump’s MO. Plus as a narcissist it makes him look good
The level of emotion displayed makes them look like a bunch of amateurs
How the hell did they expect Ukraine to hand over half of what's left of their natural resources without any solid security assurance? Russia invades a country every 6 years on average (Chechnia 1994, Chechnia 1999, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine 2022)
Very reasonable analysis.
I would have expected a more professional approach from all of them, handling the situation, just staying cool. Hell, these guys know exactly how to present themselves for the media.
Or maybe it was just an act - played out deliberately.
