@VickieEvans-m8w Watch the whole recording. You'll see how JD made what I hope is just an honest mistake, telling Zelensky that he didn't even thank them. Earlier in the meeting there were 2 or 3 instances when Zelensky thanked for the help. JD looked pretty leveled in many interviews I've seen him in before the elections. That's why I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't notice the thanks, likely because there was no point to focus on those specific words. But the fact remains that he scolded Zelensky for the wrong thing, and doubled down on it. If JD doesn't apologize on his own, hopefully the media will bring this up so he can comment on it and prove it was just an honest mistake.
However, when even Karoline plays the gratitude card, this all stinks like politics. Trump wants a quick ceasefire because then the US can get valuable rare minerals and he can also brag about stopping the war. But Zelensky is not wrong to distrust Putin, since he broke ceasefires before. This is a complicated mess, but the least the US can do is to stop lying about what's going on, and treat Ukraine with dignity. This is not about Zelensky, it's about a lot of people whose lives are messed up because of Russia's leadership. The right solution is peace, not yet another ceasefire that can be broken as before. Trump acted like a baby here - all he wanted was to be right, and JD played along, and now Karoline too.
People shouldn't support this kind of politics, or you'll get more of it. A lot of things are starting to look great in the US after Trump became president, and I'm sure more will be done. But not everything is nice and peachy, so be ready to call out the bad politics when you see it, so they can take note and correct course.
