By that standard, Zelensky must be a female comedian.
But seriously, Zelensky has had multiple meetings with Trump. He should know how Trump should be engaged with. The last thing you should say to Trump is: "You will do/feel/say/think... X". Even if you think Donald Trump is the big, orange, stupid, Hitler, baby, the only response from him was going to be:
This honestly feels like Zelly knew the train was rapidly approaching its end and tried to throw his weight around to see if that would work. A true last ditch effort with the nuclear option.
Because there are times when puffing your chest out and acting like the alpha can be the key, but only if you can back it up, you have the position to be an actual threat, and you aren't dealing with another alpha ego. Zelly has none of those things, so instead he came across as a petulant child throwing a tantrum after being spoiled for years and then being told no.
And now has to make the choice of holding onto his ego to act big to maintain his European allies, or groveling to Trump to hold any chance of not being left to literally be devoured in the peace deals and ending up looking like a laughing stock to all the TDS-Europeans.
I feel like the Ukranian-American Ambassador had no idea he was doing this, and probably wasn't sure what he was doing. I'm still just blown away how he didn't see any of this coming.
Why would he? He has spent half a decade now with the world literally bowing to his feet, giving him literally everything he wants and responding to his tantrums with more.
The majority of this last month is showing how powerful the word "No" is in government and how little it has been used in forever.
Because he spent the first part of that kissing Trump's feet already. Trump was impeached because the Dems thought he was going to send weapons to Zelensky.

Imagine trying to out-alpha a 6'3" man when you're 5'7". Real ankle-biter manlet energy.
The Chihuahua of the Slavs.
