“I was on the phone with my counterpart, the Joint Chiefs National Security Adviser, as recently as the morning of after repeated requests for — not only for President Zelensky, to sign — at a minimum, to have his finance minister and Secretary Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, sign to show that they were serious, that this deal was closed, that it was done, and they were ready to move forward. And they continued to insist to leave it open,” he said, explaining that they evidently wanted to leave it open because Zelensky intended to come in and demand “security guarantees,” which Waltz said is essentially the commitment of U.S. troops, “which we’ve made it clear that the United States is not willing to do, and potentially, you know — who knows his motives — but I think he was grandstanding for back at home, for his nationalists back at home, and again, totally inappropriate. If you disagree with our approach then you take it behind closed doors,” he said, adding that he believes that Zelensky does not get the message.

“He is used to coming into the White House with Joe Biden, who was half there … and hearing from Biden and his team ‘As much as you want, as long as it takes, no matter what the cost.’ And you know — and this is what Biden would say — ‘We don’t make any decisions about Ukraine; only you do.’ Well, I think the American taxpayer sent a very different message with the election of Donald Trump, and enough is enough,” Waltz said.

Little Z boy was told to play the fool by Susan Rica, Vindiman and the 0bama machine. They could care less what happens to Ukraine. They think this is “an embarrassment for Trump” and will help Democrats politically

The US’s real enemies are much closer then Ukraine or China

If Zelenskyy begs Trump to come back to the Oval Office, then the WH should insist that he wear a coat and tie. There is a dress policy.

I can’t believe he said “I’m not playing cards”. He took it literally. Tells me he doesn’t understand the meaning.

Tell him to wear a coat and tie the next time. He ain’t Fidel Castro or Yassir Arafat.

"It’s called the old switcheroo. Trump was onto this trick before he turned 18."

That is a standard, Eastern European con.

The Tiny Dancer™ thought he'd pull it off with the "stupid" Trump and "bitch" Vance. I think he figured that Trump was going to be a pushover like brain dead Biden. Nope - Trump called out that phony, greasy clown in a fake GI Joe outfit by shoving a stick of dynamite up his ass. BOOM! It was great to watch!

The Euroweenies have to frog march [Zelensky] out the door just as Trump did.

* * *

And that's exactly what the Euroweenies CANNOT be seen as doing in public.  Yet they will NOT contribute any more EUROs nor troops to aid Ukraine.

The European Union big wigs [France, UK, Germany, etc.] will continue to posture, saying: "we must throw Russia out of Ukraine!" And to reinforce that point is what the mad scramble -- by Macron and Starmer -- to personally meet with Trump was all about.

They are trying to save face for the EU's utter failure to end a war that Ukraine couldn't win from the very beginning.

President Trump knows that to save Ukraine, he must also deal a serious political blow to the farce that is the European Union.

So the ending of the Ukraine war will lead to many wonderful results. Thank you, President Trump, for your wisdom and courage to build a more civilized and safer world.

I wasn’t thinking “drugs,” but after watching him again, yes indeed!

WADR and admiration to Randy Newman. That song reached Number 2 in the “HOT 100” in 1977.

A better Randy Newman song

Political Science

No one likes us, I don’t know why
We may not be perfect but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia’s crowded and Europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot and Canada’s too cold
And South America stole our name
Let’s drop the big one, there’ll be no one left to blame us

Yes. That was a good one. But I wasn’t taking on Europe, et al. I was merely poking fun at the little dictator.
BLESSINGS.

Your number 1 is right on. I know a gal from Ukraine. She said it just like this. The territory that was taken over early was largely Russian so the people there supported it. IIRC her parents are of mixed heritage (Russian and Ukraine), and regardless are caught up near the war zone.
