Many tell us what to think. I ask my readers to be skeptical. Question me and others. 
Observers say that Donald Trump and JD Vance provoked Volodymyr Zelenskyy into an undiplomatic squabble in the White House. They blame the Ukrainian President for responding candidly. Zelenskyy made a different error. He tried to be diplomatic in response to the verbal ambush by bullies. The reason does not work in response to the provocation. Zelenskyy could pretend to accept all the insults as the truth and acknowledge his weakness. Then, he could humbly ask Trump and Vance for their message for Ukrainians. According to Trump and Vance, what should Ukrainians do to get peace? And let them talk, asking for clarifications about borders and Ukraine’s security. Knowing what American leaders have in mind, I bet that after they finish, Zelenskyy could answer that Ukrainians do not need Trump’s help in getting peace by surrendering to Russia.
