Europe is a "beautiful but fragmented" kaleidoscope, Zelensky says
From CNN's Sophie Tanno

Europe is a “beautiful but fragmented” kaleidoscope of “small and middle” powers, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during his speech at Davos, as he criticised the bloc of “looking lost.”

“Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, especially when America’s focus shifts elsewhere, Europe looks lost trying to convince the US president to change, but he will not change.”

1. Zelenskyy knows whereof he speaks.

But Europe finally seems to be waking up to the hopelessness of trying to change Trump.

2. President Zelensky is right. this man knows exactly what is going on.

“Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, especially when America’s focus shifts elsewhere, Europe looks lost trying to convince the US president to change, but he will not change.”

4. Zelensky's got it. Most European leaders don't.

Donald Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac. He won’t change. The European leaders trying to work with him are dealing with an irresponsible toddler in an adult’s body.

I hate saying this, but European leaders should start acting like they’re on their own and start thinking of the Republican Party like a hostile foreign political entity and its donors like Al Quaeda bank-rollers.

5. Trump is wasting time

Hoping that Putin finally puts an end to Ukraine.

6. An abuser will never change.

8. Unfortunately Zelenskyy has to be more diplomatic when speaking about Trump

Newsom could afford to be much harsher and cruder.

Either way, I hope European leaders wake up.
