Vance is a bully.
Trump is a Russian asset.
Zelensky is tired and stressed.
This was never going to go well.
But great to see other world leaders restate their support for Ukraine afterwards.

Two years ago, I posted some A.I. portrait images that were nearly indistinguishable from real photography.
They were a little too flawless, overly polished/vibrant, and none of them included the hands.
