I watched the entire Zelensky clip - not just the last couple of minutes - and to be honest, it's kinda perplexing.

For the first 40 minutes, it seemed to be a done deal. Not a *good* or meaningful deal for Ukraine, but clearly enough for Zelensky to show up and offer to sign?

So you have this ~50 minute Q&A with journos, where Zelensky is clearly increasingly cranky. I don't blame him, and Trump, amazingly, lets it slide for 40 minutes.

And then Zelensky picks a weird fight with Vance *in a QA session* and it goes downhill fast.

Like, are they *all* children?... I think the administration is taking an unprincipled approach and they're wrong in their assessment of Putin, but this seemed like kindergarten diplomacy on Ukraine's side
