History being made. The US showed its incapability to negotiate and discuss. What a shitshow.
Also Zelensky is an absolute terachad.
He was a terachad the moment he said, "I don't need a ride, I need ammo."
Trump is an absolute spoiled brat. When things don't go his way, he yells, name calls and throws people out. This is the leader of the free world, being manoeuvred by his Russian masters.
Zelensky asked Vance if he'd been to Ukraine himself to see the problems the country faced. "I've been... I've actually seen and watched the stories," Vance said. At one point when Zelensky began to respond, Trump said: "You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble. You're not winning this." "We are staying, Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks in this Cabinet," Zelensky responded. "You are not in a good position. You don't have the right cards right now," Trump said. "I'm not playing cards," Zelensky responded.

Trump is a Russian agent.
True in the sense that he's acting in Russia's interest, but I don't think he consciously working for them. Rather I think that Russia won the cold war using information warfare.
Zelensky For President!
Autonomous Republic of USA?
We need to be ostracized by the entire world.
Already doing so financially with the tariffs.
So letβs game this out.
US soft power will decline, and regional powers and China will fill the vacuum. Europe can slow the US fall by actively welcoming China to bid on US port access, thus making everyone play nice a few more years, but we need to look for a soft line of Chinese power in the Philippines around 2050. Saudi Arabia can still collapse into a caliphate at some point, but Israel will remain a propped up power blocking Iran no matter what. If trump sold nuke secrets to SA that will be a really tense area, and Europe and Israel will have to keep them from any uranium from Iran or others.
China should definitely push space partnerships in the coming years with Europe and Russia, and while SpaceX will be hard to beat, they will face subsidized competition to keep them from being the only game in town, requiring you to drink a cup of US crazy with every launch. So space launch costs will go down (by SpaceX continuing and other countries subsidizing), ISS will deorbit, China will build a moon base, America will talk about how dumb that is because they didnβt do it.
China will become a co-leader of research with Europe, it will become common for US grad students to leave the country to go to good schools in their field.
There is nothing currently stopping countries from taking down satellites of private citizens
