    Watching this feels like a masterclass of diplomacy. Zelenskyy is talking directly and respectfully to the Fox audience, while trying to clearly explain why Ukraine can’t just bow down to faulty peace deals without question.

    I hope Zelenskyy’s adroit maneuvering gets him… somewhere. God knows the US can’t be relied on, but keeping a good image may help with Europe.

      Okay, that’s creepy. I just saw an 11 minute video of the “diplomacy” meeting (I think the Forbes one), and I haven’t even watched the one you linked, but I glanced at the comments and most of the highest upvoted ones are identical between the two videos. There’s some serious botting going on.

      There’s a YouTube version now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfqLcBwUT_E

      I partially wanted to show that, as twisted as Fox news is, they are at least hosting this interview without (much) bias on their front page. It’s important, as this is what most of their audience will see of Zelenskyy, and this is essentially as “primary” the source can get.

    “I insist I respect the office of the President and the nation that is the USA. It’s the individuals holding office who I don’t respect.”

    Zelensky brought it into himself honestly. Wtf was he thinking discussing security guarantees too early in public? I’m glad he was humiliated.

      If 3 years after the start of an invasion is too early, then when? Additionally, you sure that’s the one who was humiliated?

        Too early in the negotiation process which just started, not the timespan of the war.

      Not sure how you think Zelensky is the one that was humiliated.

      Trump blowing is the one that was humiliated by the events, not that he’s capable of understanding that through his narcissistic personality. All he did was show his complete inability to actually operate at this level. There were 3 people in that discussion, and the only adult was Ukrainian. Being the only adult in the room isn’t humiliating.

      This is a terrible take. I think this account is disingenuous.

      LOL, only Trumpers think Zelensky was the one that looked bad in that altercation. Everyone else in the world knows Trump and Vance were behaving like angry children at him fact-checking them, and he took their tantrums like a champ. You’re the one with a distorted view of reality.

        Anyone really surprised that JD “I was told there would be no fact checking” Vance got mad that he couldn’t lie with impunity?

        Watch the whole 40mins, it was Zelensky who decided to challenge Vance with a “what kind of diplomacy are you talking about” in the last 5 or so minutes, then the blow up happened. Totally rookie move from Z after getting triggered by Trump’s lack of negative outlook on Putin.
