I'll bet you anything you didn't know this!

The reason all the European leaders dropped everything on a moment's notice, some of them interrupting their vacations, to fly to the US yesterday was because so much progress was made in Alaska with putin that they wanted to get in on it.

Yeah, that's the ticket. It wasn't to protect Zelensky after trump sold him out (again). That's the line that Leavitt is dishing out in her press conference. Wonder if anyone asked her what progress was made in Alaska because the only "progress" I've heard about is the ceasefire being dropped. And that's the wrong kind of progress.

but whatever it was, Leavitt seems back to her old self this morning, complete with her "up is down" view on things.
