yeah that was a disgraceful question- really disrespectful. My 1st guess is that Zelensky had no intention of signing the deal in good faith, which is akin to Mafia extortion and wanted to grandstand about US military security guarantees in protest. Stupidly, the Trump team thought that they had him and wanted to make public their 'historic victory'. Either they were idiots or they wanted to hang him with his own rope in public.

I didn't pay attention to the Munich speech outside of soundbites but the Trump administration's geopolitical strategy is to cut Europe/EU/NATO loose, team up with Russia and break apart the Russia-China alliance, withdraw the US military base-hydra from the world, restructure US armed forces for the economic/military struggle with China (meaning less focus on army and bases, more on navy/air force/missile tech). The Trump administration are China Hawks. The Biden administration accomplished the American real politic nightmare- push Russia into the hands of China much closer as a economic-military partner. They are trying to reverse the damage. +Zelensky thanked the US in the beginning of the meeting, so Vance was out of his mind.., probably because he wanted to protect King Trump. This televised meeting comes across as a complete sh*tshow- both sides had different agendas going in and they hadn't settled their differences yet. Basically, unless the meeting was meant to 'expose' Zelensky to the American people (hang him with his own rope) it doesn't make any sense. Zelensky was there to sign the minerals deal. Maybe Trump thought that this was his moment of glory so he let the press in so he could humiliate Ukraine with the deal? Unless he was delusional, Zelensky should have known that the Trump team believe most of the things he says to be lies, so it appears that he had no intention of signing the deal in the first place and grandstanded in front of the American media to get some response from the American people? Weird.

Having watched the entire meeting yesterday it is clear that Zelensky's approach was very poor. He thought that the Trump Administration would respond to the 'ideological song and dance' he used with the Europeans, Biden Administration/Democrats about fighting for democracy, one day winning the war, asking for aid/weapons, the heroism of the Ukrainians under siege, Putin as the great satan, and Russia's desire for European world domination.. Worse he contradicted King Trump on several issues in the first half hour and became more and more obnoxious as the meeting went on. The trigger point was when he started talking about American and Russian troops one day waging war in the Baltics. The boiling point was reached when the Polish reporter asked Trump if his thinking was too aligned with Putin's. Then JD Vance went on the attack, and both Zelensky & Trump lost control.

The Democrats are still pro-NATO in less than 4 yrs things can change. Even Bernie Sanders is pro-NATO even though he's a socialist fighting for the poor.
