I mean, Trump's schedule doesn't seem to have much wiggle room for a meeting in D.C.

Maybe he'll fly back for that.

But my advice to Zelensky is stay the fuck away from Washington, D.C.

You know, what do you think is waiting for you here?

J.D.

Vance is going to suddenly roll over and play nice.

He's going to try and do exactly what he did in February in the Oval Office.

Precipitate a confrontation and get Donald Trump to, you know, Hulk out on Zelensky.

That's the worst possible scenario.

I think what needs to happen is and I, you know, I argue about this all the time with with my friends who think that the Europeans are, I mean, behaving like the gimp in Pulp Fiction.

Like, why are you going to Trump?

Why are you humiliating yourselves?

Why are you doing the whole daddy finesse routine?

The Europeans feel like they have to manage this crisis again, as you say, again and again and again.

It's Groundhog Day.

Because there are certain things the United States still has and still provides that the Europeans cannot make up for or provide on their own.

And Ukraine needs.

Number one is a certain kind of intelligence, mostly battlefield targeting packages, which I don't know why the Europeans can't source this themselves, but...

Them's the breaks.

Number two, and I've discussed this before with you, there are certain weapon systems that only we manufacture that the Europeans cannot or they don't.
