Zelenskyy Has Been Very Foolish

COMMON SENSE: When someone screws up as badly as Ukraine’s Zelenskyy did today, my father had an expression for it, one he used a thousand times. He would say, “Zelenskyy has sh*t in his own nest.”

I have to agree. My dad would have been right. That’s precisely what Zelenskyy did. Reminiscent of an entitled child, when finally told “No,” Zelenskyy pitched a fit in the Oval Office for the entire world to see.

Zelenskyy has been used to the Biden administration allowing him do whatever he pleases. He has also been used to the USA paying the bill, but Trump isn’t about to do that. That’s because Trump isn’t weak like Biden.

In international diplomacy, where nuance rules and not hostile confrontation, we witnessed a combativeness that is normally reserved for closed doors. Had President Trump suspected Zelenskyy would be as angry as he was, I doubt we would have seen what we did.

That’s not on Trump though. It’s on the Secretary of State and his staff. They should have known what would happen, and they should have prepared Trump for it. They didn’t. Maybe they were as blindsided as the President and Vice President were. That’s also a possibility.

Regardless, this has set the peace process back quite a bit. That’s not a good thing, especially for Ukraine.
