[FRIAM] Back at the ranch, I'm enjoying the popcorn.

[Pieter Steenekamp]

Just watched a new episode where two toddlers threw their toys out of the
cot.

Zelensky makes a strong case — Putin is unreliable, having broken numerous
agreements in the past, so any peace deal would need ironclad security
guarantees. But lecturing Trump is hardly the way to secure a favorable
minerals trade agreement.

Trump also has a valid case — the war is stagnating, there’s no realistic
military path to driving Russia out of Ukraine, and pursuing peace makes
sense. But losing your temper at an international press conference is not
the way to get there.

At the end of the day, they’re all human, and it makes for great real-life
drama. I can't wait for the next episode!
