I watched the video multiple times, trying to understand what exactly triggered J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, and whether President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had somehow provoked them.
But no, that wasn’t it. They exploited their numerical and linguistic advantage, using their native English fluency to publicly humiliate and corner him. It was two against one, speaking twice as fast as he could. More importantly, they did this deliberately and in public—because if they had genuinely sought an understanding, this conversation would have been held behind closed doors. And even if it had been public, their tone would have been far more balanced if they had actually intended to reach an agreement.
Zelenskyy explained that Ukraine had been trying to negotiate with Russia since 2014, yet Putin repeatedly violated agreements. I doubt Vance even knows this—or if he does, I doubt he cares. Then, Trump jumped in with a correction, asking when exactly Putin invaded Crimea and Donbas, because his only concern was whether it happened during his presidency—everything else was irrelevant to him.
