      If they’re going to inform him, they might as well just tell Putin too.

      He’s trying to fix the peace talks all on his own while undermining the EU.

      Him not getting informed while EU members do would make him very upset.

    Why on earth should Zelensky do that? He knows about how important secrecy and security is. Telling Trump about this would be akin to advertize it on billboards in Moscow.

      he should not and without reading the article i am pretty sure that is not what it suggests. it illustrates how untrustworthy the former ally (the word leader was used in the past) of the free world is.

        How do people still buy this propaganda?

        America was never “world leader” nor involved in any “free world”, America has always been an oppressor country, it was the undisputed hegemon for a period.

          america was called both and it is not anymore. yes. the results of its efforts were at times dubious, and its ideological position was often clouded with its selfish interest, but complaining about propaganda and countering with propaganda from the opposite direction is not going to move the discussion anywhere

            It’s not propaganda to say America was/is oppressive on the world stage, we have numerous examples of them enforcing their will onto other states/peoples abroad and at home.

            And American’s dropping the exceptionalism and getting out of their bubble is a huge first step in getting anywhere.

              But it is propaganda to say America was never a world leader nor involved in any free world.

              There is evidence of both, even if it is less the case now.
