There are people more qualified than me to comment on the generational geopolitical fallout from yesterday’s Oval Office meeting between American President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

I was bullied a lot as a kid and, the moment Vice-President Vance jumped in, I understood what I was watching: the performance of strength without actual strength.

Every mediocre high school bully understands how to surround themselves with a few cowardly followers willing to high five each other while they take turns kicking someone who is already down.

Actual leaders support leadership. Actual leaders actually inspire other people to lead.
