Apparently Trump doesn’t know that the Z Man signed away the mineral rights to the United Kingdom earlier in the year.

It would be nice, but Zelensky is not someone who you can negotiate with in his present state of mind. He’s manipulative, he lies and he’s delusional.

Maybe he knows more about Ukraine’s military situation and, frankly, more about what’s going on inside Russia than we do. We have excellent signals intel, and almost non-existent humint.

Putin told Trump he won’t recognize any minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine signed by Zelensky.

He has had it with BOTH of them, and rightly so.

Yep. Screw him and his oligarchs. I’m an American first, and a Ukraine second, as my grandparents emigrated from the Ukraine in the late 1800s.

Zelenskyy is not a smart person. I’d bet a pile of cash he’s not calling the shots for Ukraine. Someone else is pulling the strings, similar to what Obama was doing during the Biden administration. The person who is calling the shots doesn’t care that he’s backing out of a deal they agreed on, because it’s not his ass on the line.

This is by no means trying to make any excuses for Zelenskyy- but he’s got to be living in fear for his life 24/7.
He’s caught between Trump and the MIC and the Deep State and Putin and the Euros.
I don’t think anyone can imagine what that’s like. He has to be drugged most of the time like another playing the same game in the 1930’s and 40’s.
When the war ends he’s most likely dead.
It’s really time , in the interest of humanity , for the Euros and Russia and Trump to sort this out.
Unfortunately the only one who acts in the interests of humanity is the one that’s called a nazi.

Zelensky is still claiming he won't give up any land as part of a peace deal. He's like the Black Night.

Please, someone explain to Trump that the whole Ukraine-Russia mess is a HUGE vote killer.

Just walk away.

Tell the Europeans they need to solve - and pay for - their own problems.

Focus entirely on fixing the Bankrupt USA government - with or with out Elon Musk.

Trump should then just stay away from Zelinskyy. USA taxpayers have no realistic hope of gaining anything on a minerals deal. It’s all about the cards. I pity Ukraine.

Murder? Killing the leader of a country? You must be really Putin. That is your take on how to negotiate? Just kill someone. Someone doesn’t go along with Trump and they just need to be KILLED? Just Sick! And you put it in writing.

You are really a Russian Bot.

What does that even mean?

Why would Putin have to recognize an agreement between Ukraine and the US, when nothing involved Putin.

Your comment is like me saying Donald Trump won’t help me with my personal marriage issues, so that should tell everyone how bad Donald Trump is.

I seem to recall that thw Z-man sold the heavy earth locations to the UK

Another problem is that most of the Russian forces are sitting on the same piece of real estate.

“Zelensky is still claiming he won’t give up any land as part of a peace deal. He’s like the Black Night.”

Z is giving up land every day. He should have made a deal before the wearing down of his military. Now he’s toast. Why would Putin stop? He taking more ground faster with less losses now.

The delusion is amazing.

“It’s really time , in the interest of humanity , for the Euros and Russia and Trump to sort this out.”

Russia is doing exactly what it wants. Russia has it sorted out. Russia is interested in Russia, not “humanity”.

Would you rather kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in a Zelinsky war? Given the chance, would you have killed Hitler?
