      ab: The article examines a significant and contentious conversation that took place on February 28, 2025, between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. It introduces the concept of "conversational polarization," which refers to how interactions can escalate conflict through the construction of oppositional identities and the negotiation of speaking rights. The authors analyze key moments in the exchange, highlighting how the invocation of "diplomacy" marked a turning point that led to adversarial dynamics, as well as the ongoing struggle over who had the authority to speak and define the conversation. The article emphasizes that the manner in which political leaders communicate can significantly impact diplomatic relations and public perceptions, suggesting that understanding these interactional processes is crucial for political communication research.
