I watched the entire press conference with Zelensky. There was 40 minutes of discussion up to the argument. Most people saw at most the last ten minutes. The whole video gives the proper context.
When I first watched the argument without the proper context, I thought it was possible that Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky or were even trying to humiliate him. That's not what happened.
You had 40 minutes of calm conversation. Vance made a point that didn't attack Zelensky and wasn't even addressed to him, and Zelensky clearly started the argument.
In the first 40 minutes, Zelensky kept trying to go beyond what was negotiated in the deal. When Trump was asked a question, it was always "we'll see." Zelensky made blanket assertions that there would be no negotiating with Putin, and that Russia would pay for the war. When Trump said that it was a tragedy that people on both sides were dying, Zelensky interjected that the Russians were the invaders.
For his part, Trump made clear that the US would continue delivering military aid. All Zelensky had to do was remain calm for a few more minutes and they would've signed a deal.
The argument started when Trump pointed out that it would be hard to make a deal if you talk about Putin the way Zelensky does. Vance interjects to make the reasonable point that Biden called Putin names and that didn't get us anywhere.
The Zelensky/Trump dynamic was calm and stable. It was when Vance spoke that Zelensky started to interrogate him. Throughout the press conference to that point, everyone was making their arguments directly to the audience. Zelensky decided to challenge Vance and ask him hostile questions. He went back to his point that Putin never sticks to ceasefires, once again implying that negotiations are pointless. Why on earth would you do this? Then came the fight we all saw.
Zelensky was minutes away from being home free, and he would have had the deal and new commitments from the Trump administration. The point Vance made was directed against Biden and the media, taking them to task for speaking in moralistic terms. This offended Zelensky, and that began the argument.
I've been a fan of Zelensky up to this point, but this showed so much incompetence, if not emotional instability, that I don't see how he recovers from this. The relationship with the administration is broken. Ukraine should probably go with new leadership at this point.

@LostDreamland @ellymelly For 300 million it works. For 900 million it doesn’t.

@ellymelly Been to China have you? Thriving. Saw more luxury cars, fancy shopping malls and entrepreneurs than you could ever imagine. Old school Communism failed but China embraced aspects of capitalism and its working for them and you.

Mao's #socialism tried to centralise agriculture to streamline production 'for the greater good'.
Nearly 60 million people starved to death.
The United Nations and World Economic Forum want the whole world to centralise agriculture to streamline production 'for the greater good'.
Deaths will be in the billions.

@elonmusk Once you realize this, you cannot unsee it. The anti-human & anti-natalist agenda is woven into the discourse of nearly every top political issue.

Just educated @CNN host @DanaBashCNN on basic journalistic obligations: Presidential candidates like me should not have to do the work of the captured news media. The #1 question that matters: what did Biden tell Garland & what did Garland tell Jack Smith. That’s the real target. This indictment selectively omits facts & law and *wreaks* of politicization. The real question is whose invisible hand is guiding it. We will get to the bottom of it.
