Eh. A lot will disagree with what I am about to type and, tbh, I am hesitant to point out the obvious, but I will do this just in case:
1. None of it should be a surprise. Policy-wise, Trump's position was very much well known at this point.
2. For Zelensky, this is actually the least bad political option at this point, which is presumably why is doing it this way
3. Note the amount of astroturfing surrounding anything related to Ukraine. It used to be that you couldn't comment on anything about Ukraine without being given 'you talk like Ukraine has no autonomy' speech. Yes. On HN too.
4. To all the hyperbolic, hyperventilating accounts out there, please stop. You are not helping your cause. If anything, you are making it worse.
