What does he think? A hand full of nazi drone pilots are going to turn the tide of the war and then the oil starved nations of the world will come to the rescue in his country? Zeleneski, if they can't beat Iran how can they help you against Russia?

Honestly I think it's more accurate to say that this was a demand by Washington rather than a choice made by Zelensky.

On the vessel priority list Ukraine is below Israel by a wide margin.

I don't believe a word of what Trump says here. The US saying they don't need Ukranian drones is just to further mask the fact they are losing this war, and Zelensky acting like this is an act of autonomy is probably meant to keep up the charade against Russia winning his own conflict.
