You can say he's making a mistake, but with Trump in the White House, there is no winning move for him.

After today how is he going to do that? Trump's no dummy he invited him based on an agreement or the invitation would not have been extended. Once here Mr. Z appeared to add conditions that were not agreed to before hand.  You could see the surprise on Trump and Vance's faces.  That is kind of disrespectful. Best I can say is he wants to resist being absorbed by Russia on his terms.

It was all just a setup. Trump was never going to give Zelensky a dime. He just wanted to fly him across the planet so he could say F-you to his face. Trump had a plan to end the war in one day. His plan, which he never revealed, was to cut off all funding to Ukraine so that they could no longer defend themselves. But he couldn't do that without creating a fallacy that Zelensky is to blame for why he's cutting off Ukraine.

Everything we saw play out yesterday was pre-planned.
