I see a Universal incomprehension as to why Trump won't -- can't -- give Zelenskyy security guarantees.
The last time such entanglements were normalized, they triggered WORLD WAR ONE.
Yes, the cascade of war in 1914 was triggered precisely because the Europeans all had back-stopping treaties tied to Great Powers.
THIS is how, why, an assassination directly led to a cascade of of bloodshed.
Russia and Germany and France ALL mobilized for war -- because of poorly thought out treaties, sponsorships -- that linked their foreign policies to dust-ups caused by MINOR powers -- over TRIVIAL matters.
Things went crazy BECAUSE the politicians in second and third tier nations felt that they had 'insurance' backing their positions. This meant that extremist rhetoric, positions, policies were advanced as -- on a personal level -- being belligerent played great in their tiny neck of the woods. Being the tough-guy looked GREAT with the ignorant public. The newspapers LOVED it. At no particular time did ANYONE realize that the interlocking treaties meant that absolutely no Great Power could use military power. Everything needed to turn on diplomacy and economics. Leave the guns at home!
Zelenskyy, himself, absolutely embodies the personality style that caused World War One to erupt. Believe it. You're looking right at it!
He's a certifiable hot-head. Go back and look at his terrible antics in the Oval Office. Zelenskyy was the sinner, not Vance, not Trump
Such matters must ALWAYS be said in private -- never to the world media. Good grief!
When you come to sign -SIGN! Even Tuco knew that dictum. Don't start talking! Signings are always to be ceremonial - never contentious.
You might also note that Europeans can't agree on ANYTHING.
They can only work in concert after the US organizes things.
Without Washington, the entire continent reverts to 1913.

Trump is trying, forcing, Zelenskyy to give the US the same status as the EU... namely that American aid should be in the form of LOANS.
This is what the EU has been doing -- all along. It's what the US did to aid France and Britain during WWI.
In WWII, the US shifted oven to Lend-Lease.
In 2022, Congress gave Zelenskyy $22,000,000,000 in Lend-Lease credit.
Like a total idiot, he didn't use a cent of it!
So, the credit line expired -- even though Congress -- had he used it -- would've merely extended it, over and over -- same as it did in WWII.
If Zelenskyy had used Lend-Lease aid, HE, not Sullivan, would've been able to select the weapons and ammo he wanted WHEN he wanted. The entire cupboard was his to tap! Instead, he permitted Sullivan (forget Biden, he had no idea what was going on) to dictate when and what Ukraine could obtain. No European power was all that willing to get ahead of the USA. So, Sullivan's foot-dragging had Ukraine twisting in the wind. Zelenskyy was such a cheap-skate that he he settled for 'free' crumbs when he could've ordered F-16s right from the start. Congress had no intent to limit the weapons that Zelenskyy received. Only Sullivan did that.
Lend-Lease aid is not subject to the NSA. Remember that.
Sullivan would've had to fight Congress, like the devil, to throttle aid. But, he's just an aide to the President.
Congress would just ignore him. Lend-Lease aid would be spent in THEIR districts. No problem there!
