Sundance at CTH looks at the interview with Bret Baier, Zelenskyy Discusses Breakdown of White House Discussions – Nothing is Acceptable Unless USA Troops are Put Into Ukraine and Team Zelenskyy Has a “Security Guarantee” Plan to Recapture all Lost Ukraine Territory. Breitbart, Zelensky Refuses to Apologize After Outburst at Oval Office: ‘Not Sure We Did Something Bad’. Matt Vespa, Here's the Tweet That Perfectly Captured Zelensky's Interview on Fox News, Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen, "This @ZelenskyyUa interview with @bretbaier is like watching a drowning man who refuses to grab the life preserver he keeps getting thrown" Bonchie, Zelensky Goes on a Tweet Storm, and It's Likely Going to Make Things Much Worse. At ET, Zelenskyy Defends Oval Office Remarks, Stresses Need for Security Guarantees. David Sacks@DavidSacks, "WHY ZELENSKY CANNOT MAKE PEACE Zelensky’s meltdown in the Oval Office began over his refusal to accept a negotiated settlement to the war. Even the Vice President’s use of the word “diplomacy” provoked a heated response. So why can’t Zelensky make a peace deal? 1) He will lose power. Zelensky cancelled elections in Ukraine and remains in power through martial law. Despite what USAID propaganda polls may claim, Zelensky is unpopular in Ukraine and would likely lose a fair election. That could leave him vulnerable to retaliation from political opponents he has imprisoned or seized assets from. In short, Zelensky needs the war to justify his continued rule. . . "
Breitbart claims Democrats, Never Trumpers Inflated Zelensky’s Arrogance Before Oval Office Disaster. The Unsinkable Mollie Hemingway has more specific charges, Twitchy, Zelenskyy's Oval Office Debacle was a Set Up...By the Dems: Mollie Hemingway Brings the Receipts. Mollie@MZHemingway " . . .
Zelensky repeatedly declined opportunities to sign the deal in Kyiv and Munich, and requested the meeting at the White House. It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did -- that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up. Even though he didn't, and even though Zelensky's actions horrified many normal Americans, the Obama team went on the airwaves to falsely characterize what happened.
I think their goal was to have a wonderful performance by Zelensky, an angry Trump appearing to scuttle the deal, and the support of the neocon portion of the GOP to start applying pressure on Trump to have US Troop commitments as part of the "security guarantee." It was a set-up, in Susan Rice's interesting choice of words.
Instead, Zelensky had one of the worst stage performances of his acting career, and Trump was statesmanlike (against all odds) throughout. Zelensky followed Team Obama's advice to be hostile to a tee, but it didn't land how they thought it would. Surprisingly, one of the most important aspects of it not working out might have been Lindsay Graham's reaction. Had he and other neocons thought Zelensky was being reasonable, Trump would be having to fight (even moreso) the neocon portion of the GOP in addition to Team Obama's dirty tricks. Even the "conservative" neocon pundits on TV last night were admitting Zelensky had royally messed up.
The Great Victor Davis Hanson has a video at Da Signal, Trump’s Righteous Criticism of Zelenskyy. At NewsMax, Trump Calls for 'Ceasefire Now' Between Russia and Ukraine. Don Surber has a REPRISE: Why conservatives oppose the war. At the European Conservative, Trump, Vance Shake Europe Awake From Liberal Dream. At Hat Hair, Smack-Talking Europe Steps in It With Baltic States. From the American Conservative, Trump Takes on the Blob in the Oval Office. "The meeting between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky is a great clarifying moment, the first time president Trump or any president has, in a dramatic way, said no to the Washington establishment consensus in foreign policy, or, more informally, the blob. The blob, as most know, always gets its way. Through well-funded think tanks, establishment journalists, the military–industrial complex and its many congressional supporters, tells us the proper way to think about foreign policy. Since the end of the Cold War, it has operated with no real opposition."
The Great VDH at Am Great, Who Caused the Counter-Revolution? "Trump’s first month is a shock treatment to decades of spending, open borders, and bureaucratic bloat—restoring what was lost while critics decry the cure more than the disease."
Theo Sparks, De-worming America ...............from Rico. "America has a bad case of the "worms." As the proverbial 'can of worms' is revealed bit-by-bit so does the de-worming of America progress. America owes Team Trump and DOGE a yuge debt of gratitude... now note that the "worms" are the only ones complaining about it!" At Twitchy, Elon Musk Puts George Soros and the Legacy Media on BLAST in New Conversation with Joe Rogan. Da Caller, ‘What They’re Doing Is Evil’: Musk Tells Rogan He Thinks Media Motivating Violence Against Him Like Trump. Althouse, "Until this week, government officials had resisted answering inquiries as to who was formally in charge of [DOGE], except to say that it was not Mr. Musk." "(Nor is Mr. Musk among its employees, the government said.) On Tuesday, a White House official said that Amy Gleason, a former health care investment executive, was serving as the acting administrator. . . . "Judge Appears Skeptical of Claims That Musk Isn’t Driving DOGE/The judge prodded government lawyers for additional clarity on Elon Musk’s role in a case that directly challenges the constitutionality of his operation and his part in the rapid reshaping of government" (NYT). At HuffPo, Democrats Are Searching For Ways To Rein In Elon Musk, "They don’t have many good options." Pirate's Cove has a Saturday Funny: Trump Trying To End Meaningful Government "Realistically, the cuts to spending and personnel that the Trump administration has imposed so far are drops in the bucket. The budget is almost $7 trillion. The “work”force is around 2.4 million. Getting rid of some has driven Democrats mad Trump administration sets out to create an America its people have never experienced ? one without a meaningful government. The U.S. government is attempting to dismantle itself."
