I think there was a lot more to that meeting than people are seeing. The day after "Phase 1" begins, we see this apparently staged, heated argument between Zelensky and Trump/Vance, where Trump repeatedly tells Zelensky he doesn't "have the cards". But Trump does. So when do you play the Trump card?

The one real thing about the Ukraine war has always been the people that are dying. I think what we were told in that meeting is that the dying is just getting started. To me, it is looking more and more like this is the vehicle they are going to use to bring on the precipice, and that dying is not going to be limited to Ukrainians.
