Description:
Trump just said it out loud: Ukraine needs a new leader. Alex breaks down how Zelensky calling Trump weak over the Putin diesel deal backfired, why Elon Musk is piling on, and how the EU is answering with new Russia sanctions and Financial Times claims that Putin is targeting European defense CEOs, a storyline that echoes what Alexander Mercouris has long said about Project Ukraine. Is Zelensky about to be recast, and can Trump finally find his way out?
