Yeah, well, thats my take on this:
WASHINGTON, Dec 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he had "a good and very productive" phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin before his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Florida later in the day.

Not a single U.S. official to greet Zelensky upon his arrival. Once again, Trump is showing his colors.

Anything that could be accomplished, which will probably be nothing, could be done by a phone call.
There is no guarantee that he wont be imprisoned or poisoned. Dont say it couldnt happen. We have seen plenty of things that couldnt happen, happen.

Everytime I think that we could have had a President who would greet Zelensky as a staunch ally and not as a Russian tool.
