The key to understanding what’s happening right now is (imo):
Trump has a deep admiration for dictators, going back decades. This is well documented. Putin is a role model for the way he wants to govern (and see himself, actually).
Zelensky not complying with Trumps extortion to find dirt on Hunter Biden led to his first impeachment. Trump is seeking revenge for that. In fact he said publicly that he would seek revenge on all the people that wronged him (in his mind at least). He is out to punish his enemies and Zelensky is high on that list.
Europe needs to realize that in the span of little over one month, the US turned from its most important ally to a hostile nation - and potentially an enemy.
(Personally, I think he’s both: an agent that’s so thoroughly snookered that he doesn’t even realize it, who is betraying America willingly in hopes senpai Putin will notice him.)

There’s compelling evidence out there that Trump is an actual recruited Russian agent
We really need some good proper follow-up on that. Some hard proof but it’s really unsurprising if it’s true.
Fanboi or agent, the result is the same.

A lot of us in Europe are aware!
A lot were still in denial, figuring there was still a way to reason this out, until this meeting.
