Fwiw, on the scale of likelihood of Trump pulling support from Ukraine, it went from from "likely" to "possible but unsure". Zelensky had been a master in entertaining Donald Trump and stoking his ego to not stop the aid to Ukraine completely. I mean, of the many news of Trump withdrawing support to many countries, the initial rumour of withdrawing aid to Ukraine has been unequivocally quashed by White House, which is a rare exemption under the current Trump 2.0.

TBH I have been avoiding most Trump coverage, but if Zelensky does better at playing him than Putin has, bravo! What a clown show.

Tbh, Zelenskyy, right up to the very last moment, believed that Russia wouldn't really do it. The CIA was fucking begging him to take it serious (even broken clocks, I guess).

Poland, OTOH, seems to have a raging hate boner for Russia, and wakes up wondering if today is the day it gets to drag Russia to Hell with it. I also don't think Ukraine will ever completely chill, it'll probably remain an ulcer for the rest of Putin's life. I don't think an expansionist Russia gets much further than Poland.

I swear Poland joined NATO just so they could trigger article 5

Poland will have its borders even if it's on the last map of humankind
