This is exactly right...
Second, in the (likely) event that Europe is 100% talk and 0% action, Zelenskyy better start groveling ASAP. ( Europe is all talk....they are not going to send one soldier to help Ukraine.)
He should schedule a return meeting at the White House at Trump’s earliest convenience. Then, Zelenskyy should show up — on time! — with a clean shave, wearing a tuxedo. (Hell, he should bring a bouquet of flowers for the First Lady while he’s at it.)
And he should apologize.
There’s nothing shameful about saying you’re sorry. All Zelenskyy has to say is something like, “I’m so passionate about my country; sometimes my emotions get the better of me. Over the last three years, I’ve consoled so many mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters — and some of their stories are so tragic and haunting, it’s heartbreaking. But I know I must keep my emotions in check; not just for the good of my people, but for the good of all people. Mr. President, I apologize for my behavior in the White House. Ukraine is grateful, thankful, and appreciative of America’s generosity. War is hell, and if there’s a chance to stop the killing, it’s absolutely worth pursuing.”

There’s a liberal theory that Trump and Vance planned this “ambush” of Zelenskyy, hoping to embarrass the Ukrainian leader on national TV. This is complete and utter nonsense: Trump wants to be known as a great dealmaker. He didn’t want to embarrass Zelenskyy; he wanted him to sign a deal.
Trump still does.
In a weird way, if he could get Zelenskyy to sign to a deal after this high-octane kerfuffle, it would be an even greater accomplishment. Which means that Zelenskyy will probably get another bite at the apple.
He better not blow it.
Because I don’t think he’ll get a third.

So What Should Zelenskyy Do Now?
