Thanks for this analysis, very helpful.

Zelensky appears to be a loose cannon. What he says one day he denies the next. How do you negotiate with a liar? I also think he shows signs of being perverse and a psychopath. But his country's Parliament just voted against his bill, which would have made him President for life, or close to that. The Parliament of Ukraine has made it clear that they want to wash their hands of him.

Nevertheless, European countries and Ursula Van der Leyen are planning on going ahead with making Ukraine a NATO member, despite the price this will cost in blood and treasure. Trump has a very difficult negotiating partner in Zelensky. Zelensky is all about Zelensky and meeting his own needs for power and wealth. He alone has extracted a tremendous amount of wealth from the American taxpayer, with several mansions around the world, and much more, yet no matter how much money he is given, he makes the rounds of all the countries asking for more.

I will be relieved when we taxpayers will never have to send him a cent.
