What a small country president

What a small country president has to live with when he doesn't flatten down on Trump.
[Slowlyport] "You don't have a card," what Trump-Zelansky negotiations mean... The collapse of the U.S.-led world order, there is no permanent alliance.

It was like a scene from a movie.
U.S. President Donald Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky (Ukraine's President) to the White House and yelled at him. JD Vance (U.S. Vice President) called him "disrespectful" and Zelensky stormed out of the conference room (Trump opened the door for him). The press conference was canceled.

Two things were amazing.
- First, the president of a country was publicly insulted.
- Second, he didn't have to broadcast this live.

a failed negotiation.
- Zelenskyy: What if Putin doesn't keep his promise.
- Vance: Diplomacy makes peace.
- ZELENSKY: What diplomacy do you mean.
- Vance: Diplomacy that could end the destruction of your country. It's disrespectful to attack the U.S. administration in front of the U.S. media.
- TRUMP: You should say thank you to us now.
- Zelensky: Everyone has a problem during a war. You have a great sea and you don't feel it now, but you will feel it one day.
- TRUMP: Never mind what and how we're going to feel. You don't have a card.
- ZELENSKY: This is not a card game. I am a president at war.
- TRUMP: You are gambling over WW3. Disrespectful to this country that supported you.
- Vance: Have you ever said thank you today. Never. Just say thank you.
- ZELENSKY: I've said it many times. Thank you again.
- TRUMP: Either we should make a deal or we should go out. When we go out, you have to fight alone. But it's not a thank you attitude at all. This is not good.

Why is this important.
- "Everything has changed," the New York Times said.
- For now, the U.S. is likely to stop providing military aid to Ukraine. Zelenskyy is right to have no card.
- Politico called it "buylling." "It was jaw-dropping."
- The U.S. did not just kick out the Ukrainian president, but threw out the alliance. The front line became unclear.
- Let's think that the president of South Korea might sit where Zelensky sat.

Trump's claim.
- "Ukraine would have lost long ago without U.S. support."
- "A peace agreement should be made on the terms that the United States wants."

Zelenskyy's claim.
- "We need a just and lasting peace."
- "Putin kept breaking promises. We don't want peace. We need to ensure security if we want to negotiate a ceasefire. We need a firm commitment."
- For example, it is a request to put it in NATO and protect the border.

"It would be a great television."
- "I think I've seen enough, this is going to be great television," Trump said.
- The New York Times pointed out, "It was an important meeting that would determine the fate of millions, the independence of sovereign states, and the security of the continent, but all Trump cares about is the ratings."

Why did Trump do that.
- Axios analyzed that there were three decisive triggers.
- First, how dare you reject our offer, Trump was angry.
- Second, showing up without a suit also made Trump uncomfortable.
- Third, "What diplomacy do you mean. JD." It was crucial that he screamed at Vance.
- Axios' analysis is as follows: Trump approaches politics as a business. Trump and Putin are equal, but Trump and Zelensky don't.
- Trump demands a high level of obedience from his aides. Trump and Vance took turns saying, "You should thank us." Zelenskyy rejected Trump's demands.
- Lev Parnas, once a close aide to Trump, said this.
- "Trump runs the White House like a mafia boss. He sees Russia and China as other mafia gangs, and considers Zelenskyy as trivial people. I thought Zelenskyy should shut up and beg, and Zelenskyy was going to take it as much as possible, but he ruined it because of Vance."

profit and peace.
- This is the frame that Trump threw.
- "I want peace, not profit."
- "But Zelenskyy seems to want profit, not peace."
- Trump's proposed mineral deal is a condition that the U.S. should pay 50 percent of Ukraine's natural resources such as minerals, gas and oil until the amount reaches 500 billion dollars. The U.S. should receive more than what it has poured into supporting the war.
- "I want someone to make peace," Trump said. That means Zelensky should step down. In a meeting with reporters, he criticized, "He keeps fighting, fighting, fighting."

The point is this.
- Zelenskyy demands security guarantees.
- Putin is against it.
- Trump refuses.
- The situation in Ukraine is much worse.
- "It was disgusting," said David Ignatius, a columnist for the Washington Post. "It is a betrayal of the values that the U.S. should protect in exchange for the U.S. to rob Ukraine."

Who's on our side.
- "The alliance between the U.S. and Europe has collapsed," the Guardian said. The view from Europe is different.
- "Europe watched in horror as the post-World War II order collapsed before its eyes," he said.
- "It represents a sharp break from the previous role of the United States in the world order," Vox said.

Was it an intended accident.
- It is said that the atmosphere was not bad until the camera turned.
- In fact, there was an expectation that mineral negotiations would be concluded smoothly until just before the meeting.
- Trump also called Lindsey Graham of the U.S. Senate and asked him to sit in the front row when signing the contract. Graham even advised Zelensky not to bite the bait before the start of the talks.
- Shortly after the meeting, Graham said, "Trump and Vance
