Well, it was so weird to watch him go into this meeting that was ostensibly to get much further down the road of a peace agreement and see him just being unbelievably hostile. And he had met with all these different members of Congress prior to the meeting.

And as everything blew up, they started talking about how either, A, they had counseled him before he went into the meeting, or in some cases, like Lindsey Graham said earlier, I counseled him not to behave the way that he behaved. So you realize that there was a lot of strategy going into why he was operating the way he was and the kind of information he was getting.

You know, you even saw the New York Post the day before the meeting was saying, Zelensky, you should take your case directly to the American people because Trump's position isn't popular. Now, I think they were wrong. But the point is, Zelensky was getting a lot of advice to behave properly. at least somewhat in the manner that he ended up behaving.

Now, it's a little tricky because you wouldn't say that a man whose country has been destroyed by war wants war. But there are aspects where to ending this war that would maybe not go well for Zelensky. He has not had Democratic elections for some period of time.

It was part of the martial law that has also seen the shuttering of opposition newspapers, opposition political parties, religious groups that are not aligned with his political preference, and there's no election to hold him democratically accountable.

I think he legitimately is concerned that if the elections were held, that he might not win again, and that this might raise questions about what his life is going to be like once the peace is established. And so- He's seeking and his allies in America and throughout the world are seeking U.S. security guarantees. And it's a nice euphemism, but what does it mean?

Well, ultimately, a security guarantee means nothing unless it means U.S. troops willing to go on the ground to defend Ukraine in this proxy war for civilization. Well, that's not what the American people want. It is absolutely what the media complex wants, what the neocons in our country want, and what Europe wants. They want us to put our troops and our money to back this security guarantee.

And so he thought that he had a shot to get that, and that's what blowing up the meeting was all about.

Well, first of all, that's the quote that I think is so interesting where he says, don't take the bait where these other people are telling you to be hostile, right? I mean, it's interesting. He's just saying what everyone can see that he's getting coaching to be this way. I think Lindsey Graham cares more about continuing the war in Ukraine than he cares about Zelensky.

So when he saw Zelensky completely implode in this Oval Office meeting, he realized that the best chance for the war to continue is to get rid of Zelensky. That way, if someone else comes in, you get a fresh start and you can You know, continue negotiations as opposed to what happened that we all saw.
