1. Listened for about 2 minutes around 8:15

to Vivian Salama from the Atlantic and Richard Haas on MJ talking about how Pres. Zelensky
has learned how to act around Trump, etc., etc.
Haas even said that Trump should take credit for a stronger, more united Europe.
It was sickening. Switched to BBC.

Obviously after what happened to Zelensky
last time and especially what happened in Alaska, the Europeans came to the fore to support Zelensky and to try to rein in Trump to some extent.
It has been obvious for some time that Europe knows the U.S. cannot be counted on with Trump in charge. They are filling the void and are not holding back. Macron and Merz of Germany were particularly strong.
Admittedly, it's a mix of flattery and forthrightness. A long 3 and 1/2 years lies ahead...

2. Thank goodness theyre stepping up although it Would Be to their Detriment IF they didn't!

3. Right. They're in the thick of it.

What a mess. I ache for Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

4. A glaring moment of confusion was . . .

Agent Orange's inability to recognize Alexander Stubb, President of Finland. The man was seated directly across from Donnie. The two have played golf together, yet Trump mumbled, mumbled and desperately scanned the room unable to pick Stubb out.

The press reported Agent Orange was unable to see him. Directly across the table.

My opinion? This was another cognitive glitch. It's happened before and the pace of these cognitive melts is increasing. He repeats himself endlessly, slurs his words while going off tangent and then uses a repetitive 'ah, ah, ah' to try to reboot.

We're all witnessing this in real time yet the media fails to report it and/or brushes it off as a big nothing-burger.

Trump is in serious, serious mental decline. I've seen this before.

6. I missed that. Heard that he forgot the name

of one person at the mtng. Didn't know it was Stubb and seeing his face prompted no memory....had heard about the golf game and a supposedly "good relationship".
Very scary situation, a complicit press, and enablers galore.

5. Zelinskyy was a popular opposition party comedian as well as a lawyer

Under a corrupt Russian puppet government.
I'm pretty sure that once he got past the shock of a supposedly educated, prosperous "Democratic" country electing such a crass, transactional buffoon as a corporate puppet leader, he is able to understand how to do business with said "leader".
The main problem he would have is not letting his disgust show.

7. Yes. He's obviously highly intelligent and

needed no "coaching ".
He was far from the only one hiding contempt. I thought Macron in particular conveyed a cold firmness and rightly so.
