What went wrong is assuming there were good faith talks in the first two instances with Macron and Starmer.

It isn't by chance that even after the talks with Macron, Trump tried to lie in front of him only to be corrected by Macron in the oval office.

Even after being correct, and continues to spin the same lie during the Zelensky talks and after.

The only thing that went wrong was assuming that Trump ever had Ukraine interest in sight, and not Russia interests.

What we witnessed isn't anything new or shocking to anyone who has been following this event.

This had been a recurring behavior from this administration, where there's a theatrical display to show that there might be some understanding, with leaders putting their credibility in the to say there's some alignment, only to have Trump the next day stating the opposite or something completely unaligned with previous statements.

Let's hope this was the the final straw, and just accept that Russia managed to capture the US. Now it's about protecting this from happening elsewhere - Twitter, and other platforms, including alternative media should start to be banned in Europe ASAP.
