Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called to congratulate President-Elect Donald Trump. How fortunate the owner of Starlink, Elon Musk, happened at that moment to be with Trump who handed him the phone. Starlink is essential to Ukraine's defence efforts against Russia's illegal invasion. The call turned into a bold-faced threat -- give in to Russian demands, or else.
This farce was motivated by Trump's unquenchable thirst for adulation. Should Zelensky cede any Ukrainian land and the war ends, Trump will claim all the credit. He lusts after the Nobel Peace Prize. For it, Trump would betray any "shithole country" -- his words for nations that refuse consent to his demands.
