this the Russian incursion to bring it back to this phone call. I mean, it's always striking to me that this one decision by Putin to invade Ukraine is one of those things that one person did that's made everyone worse off. It's made Russians worth off. It's made Ukrainians worth off.

Europeans, Americans, everyone's paid the high prices, the enormous misery and death toll. One decision for territorial expansion. Incredible fallout.

What does it mean that Trump has this phone call with Putin, talks about how they both agree

in common sense, doesn't seem to loop in Zelensky, or even European allies who put out a statement

today being like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're going to be at the table, too.

Well, this is his view. There are two important people when it comes to Europe, to Ukraine, and

one is Donald Trump. The other one is Vladimir Putin. I mean, he said about Zelensky,

you had it in your opening. He said about Zelensky,ky you know it's not even clear that he uh that he

will survive through the next election we're talking about a peace agreement or a deal that is now

going to be negotiated in saudi arabia between vladimir putin and donald trump without

any ukrainian presence let alone europe Europeans, no Ukrainian presence. This is extraordinary.

This reminds me of Neville Chamberlain sitting down with the Germans to decide the future of

Czechoslovakia, peace in our time in 1938. And now it is Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump who get to decide the future of

Ukraine. That's what this war was about. Ukraine is, Russia won at Ukraine. It wants to subjugate

Ukraine. It wants to control Ukraine. It wants to make a part of Russia. And here the president of the

United States says, he wants peace. Therefore, he's a wonderful human being. And here the President of the United States says he wants peace, therefore,

he's a wonderful human being, and I have now invited him to come here. Never mind that he was

indicted for war crimes by the international criminal court, which, by the way, we will sanction

just as we start to lift sanctions on Russia. You know, if it wasn't uh... so serious

you think this was a comedy show it's not

it's deeply tragic

and it's real
