Oh the Irony: Ukraine’s Zelensky Is Trying to Reach Donald Trump to Negotiate Continuing US Military Help to Kiev

Has Kiev noticed where the real political power is in today’s America, or is it just a way to pressure the Biden ‘administration from hell’?

Before he was an unshaven, military-clad worrisome wartime leader we see today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was just a smiling, smart-looking, suit-wearing eastern European leader negotiating with US president Donald Trump in seemingly good faith.

However, a ‘perfect’ phone call between Trump and Zelensky was later weaponized by Democrats and used as justification for his first ‘impeachment hoax’.

 The Ukrainian leader refused to investigate the vast array of evidence of Biden family corruption tied to his country.
Once upon a time…

Now, as Trump stands out as the clear favorite to return to the White House in the run up to 2024 election, one is left wondering if the newly-revealed Zelensky rapprochement to the ‘America First leader’ is a new pragmatic geopolitical play by Kiev, or else is just a way to blackmail Biden into continuing to help them.

Zelensky now is reportedly ‘eager’ to negotiate directly with Trump, an ‘insider source’ in Kiev told Ukrainian outlet Strana on Sunday.

Desperate men commit desperate acts. Those who have lost everything and thus have nothing left to lose, tend to lose it.
There are many more acts left in this tragedy of a play.

Trump doesn’t have to take the call to communicate. He can simply address Zzzzz as a hypothetical conversation described at some future rally. “If Zzzzz decides to release verifiable proof of money taken or funneled to any US politician or family member of a politician, I will consider maintaining support for a future Ukraine. The more names and proof provided, the more likely will be my support.”

Because Zel knows who’s really in charge. 😉

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments.

Just try, as the private citizen that you are, negotiating with another country or government any kind of arms deal or treaty on behalf of the United States, and watch just WTF happens to you, genius.

Next time, post the whole law.

No one has EVER been charged with violating the Logan Act.

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States

Hell no. After what happened with Zelensky before, Trump should tell this twerp to pound sand.

Enough of Ukraine. Anerica should come first.

Trump has already said what he thinks about this. He wants to end this war.
