I watched a bit of the meeting, not the whole thing, but the bit where Trump and Vance started lashing out at Zelenskyy. There’s been a lot of talk about it on here, and I agree Trump and Vance are big man babies trying to bully Ukraine into an unfavorable deal, but I’m still not clear on how this affects, well, everything I guess. Can someone ELI5?
I don’t know if anyone knows for sure. We all can only guess. In the short term that probably is a win for Russia (less support for Ukraine). In the long term… Who knows?
Maybe it will galvanise the EU… Or break it. Maybe it will turn out to be a weird show to surprise Russia, or maybe Trump wants to sell Ukraine to get Russian support against china.
Just guessing. I definitely don’t know.
