There is no universe in which Zelensky sharing the victory plan with Trump wouldn't result in details going to Putin. So perhaps skipping that meeting is for the best.

It is appropriate for Zelensky to come here during our "Silly Season" and by doing so allow Trump to put his foot in his mouth and even appear cowardly. Zelensky is magnifying the differences between Trump and Harris.

[@bobflatman278]

Not a Trump supporter . Point out it's not Trump who's putting restrictions on Ukraine uses of weapons Harris as VP and her party presidental candidates could have those restrictions lifted asap. She doesn't. What makes you believe she will do so in the future? She can get it done today. Politics is night as black and white as we wish.

[@spamcan9208]

​@@bobflatman278You are factually incorrect. President Biden and only President Biden can lift those restrictions as the current and only Commander in Chief of the American Armed Forces.

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

​@@spamcan9208technically you're right but with a doddery ol bloke (who by the way I like) with just 40 days to go, is already not, in practice, even now in a position to wield the full presidential powers. Once they vote on the 5th November I think, if it's Harris, she'll show her old boss every courtesy - like the PM does to the King every week over here - but just as, while it is the PM who bows, walks backwards and is careful to use the correct obsequies - so it will be with Harris and Biden in about 6 weeks time. While Harris will continue to address her soon to be former boss "Mr President" right up to the swearing in ceremony in January, you can be completely certain Biden won't be doing anything that isn't agreed on by Harris. The same would apply if it's Trump - Rather than having to run things by Harris, he'll likely run them by Trump, such as there will be any business of note in the weeks before Xmas and New Year - which I doubt there'll be much and any that there is will be minor and uncontroversial....

[@philreap]

You pay for it then!

[@spamcan9208]

@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 I think we're mostly in agreement. As a practical matter, it's unlikely Biden would change his position or do anything radically different the rest of his term. I would also agree that includes things that might be at odds with a President Harris administration. He's not going to do something that starts her off on the back foot and trying to undo one of his decisions. Harris may (and I suspect does) disagree with some parts of Biden's more timid Ukraine policy but won't make it publicly known because she's still technically under him and won't be rocking the boat when she's about to be sworn in. I don't think Biden will extend the same courtesy to trump and may even take steps that trump can't undo easily just like trump did to him.

[@brandonmcheyenehoward1077]

We already heard Trump give his views on Ukraine in a yesterday speech. Jealous angry old man. At least the adults are dealing with this seriously. I thought he would run on defending Ukraine as a winning campaign, but instead he seems to be echoing the Russian propoganda our social media is being flooded with 🙈

[@IanMcc1000]

"seems to be" 🤔

[@kincaidwolf5184]

Ukraine can't win. They've lost 20% of their territory, and it's continuing. Russia invaded Crimea before Trump came to power in 2014. And Russia invaded Ukraine when Trump left Office. Effectively the Democrat Party have lost Afghanistan to the Taliban, almost lost Iraq to ISIS, and allowed Russia to invade Ukraine. This never happened with Trump. Trump is absolutely the best president on foreign affairs in 40 years

[@amorosogombe9650]

Trump never wanted to see him and just wanted any excuse to cancel.

I'd bet Trump was looking for any excuse to snub Zelensky given how Trump likely feels a grudge against Zelensky for not manufacturing dirt on Biden. Trump is just a big, weird man-toddler.

[@markalexander832]

Trump never was going to meet Zelensky. Trump detests Zelensky, and by extension, the Ukrainians, because Zelensky refused to give him dirt on Biden late in Trump's term. Trump is petty, vindictive and self-serving, with no qualms about morality or long-term national interest. As a Reagan Republican, there are still many like me, but I am dismayed at what has become of the party that most staunchly defended freedom and the international order. The party has been taken over by isolationists, populist hucksters and political snake oil salesmen.

[@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311]

Kate's great - Mr Heapy made sense too although he's right about not putting too much on Macron's future ideas which likewise signifies that talking about less than 100% restitution of Ukraine by Russia is a bad idea. We wanted to sort the Soviets out after WW2 but were discouraged by the Americans and look where that got us all.
