Europe lacks a clear leader; Zelensky has limited control; AI war claims are hype.


Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

  1. Who do you believe is the main leader or driving force behind Europe’s current political and military decisions?
  2. Do you think Zelensky is a puppet of Western powers, or does he have independent influence over European actions?
  3. What is your assessment of recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian military assets, particularly in relation to AI technology?


Col. Daniel Davis:

  1. There is no single leader in Europe; it's more of a collective effort with figures like Macron, Starmer, and von der Leyen occasionally stepping forward.
  2. Zelensky is not clearly controlled by any one group; he has visibility and status but not necessarily dominance in decision-making.
  3. Claims about AI-driven warfare are exaggerated; real combat still depends on manpower, which Ukraine is severely lacking.


Col. Richard Black:

  1. European leadership is fragmented, with different leaders taking turns to push agendas while avoiding unified responsibility.
  2. Zelensky is an unelected leader being used as a tool by NATO without genuine democratic legitimacy.
  3. The war is unsustainable for Ukraine, and reliance on technology like AI is fantasy; Russia continues to gain strength while Ukraine weakens.
