Yeah, I mean, they can't afford to rationalize and have sort of on air, you know, back and forth. And Trump is playing, you know, four dimensional chess and he's doing business. No, no, you're moving to Russia. And I think Zelensky's instinct is to say, we have lost the United States. We have to consolidate our friends who are in Europe.

And they have it more and more of a vested interest because this is happening on their doorstep. The problem is... You know, the old order is disappearing and vanishing, but we quote Alexander Herzen's greatest Russian philosopher who says, you know, when the old order dies, it leaves not an heir, but a pregnant widow.

And I think Europe now finds itself in this state of both being severely traumatized in the last weeks and also accidentally knocked up. And what is it about to give birth to here? Its own security, autonomy, or strategic autonomy, as Macron puts it. I think Zelensky is inclined to say that's the direction we need to go.

But Starmer, Macron, Maloney, these people are saying, no, no, you have to make nice with Trump, if only just to kind of buy some breathing space and time. And so what does he do? He tweets just now and read this carefully.

So I read this as Zelensky's counteroffer to Trump rather than his capitulation to Trump, which is interesting because I think what Trump and MAGA want is this guy to get down on all fours and just bow down and say, yes, master, whatever you want, because then he's cowed and the Russians will see he's cowed and the Russians will just simply do a deal with Washington. He's not prepared to do that.
