President Zelensky has an unlikely ally in the White House: Melania Trump.
The first lady, who grew up in the former Yugoslavia, has been reminding her husband of the deadly toll of Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities and is thought to have played a role in convincing the president to sign off the delivery of Patriot air defence missiles to Kyiv this week.

Her interest in the Ukraine war can be explained by her background. Born behind the Iron Curtain in 1970, in the former Yugoslavia, Melania has previously described her admiration for Ronald Reagan, the president who helped end the Cold War.

Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, said: “It [Melania’s fondness for Ukraine] is not surprising at all given she grew up in the former Yugoslavia, a country with no love for Russia.” She added: “She has more experience than other people in the cabinet trying to get her point across.”
According to Jordan, Melania’s father Viktor Knavs, 81, continues to travel back and forth to Slovenia, where Melania was raised, meaning she is kept abreast of European politics. “Her home country is all in for Ukraine and people over there are appalled that the United States would suddenly not be arming Ukraine any more,” she said.

Despite the legions of national security advisers and foreign policy analysts at Trump’s disposal, it appears his wife may be the most important voice of all.
“Trump listens to certain people on certain things,” says Jordan. “He particularly listens to people who are really close to him. And especially if their last name is Trump.”

I doubt that Melania has a fondness for Ukraine.
I doubt that Melania has a “fondness” for Ukraine. They stretching
The transcript of that interview makes Trump sound retarded.
Bingo. They have no empire any longer, but they still control levers of soft power - media, finance, culture. And they use them to influence us into doing their bidding.
“Pres. Trump was getting tired of Putin’s lies”
****
What he said: “The president of Ukraine has legislated a ban on negotiating with Russia.”
Why he’s wrong: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree banning negotiations specifically with Putin, not Russia as a country.
“With this Russian president, it is impossible. He does not know what dignity and honesty are. We are ready for dialogue with Russia, but with a different president,” Zelenskyy said.

What he said: “Russia even agreed voluntarily and proactively to the collapse of the Soviet Union. … After all, the collapse of the Soviet Union was effectively initiated by the Russian leadership.”
That one is a whopper. Give Putin a Burger King crown.

Hallmark of a Zeeper.
Make up things and pretend they are true.

Mucousmaximum posts this story over and over. He probably has some repetition disorder.
I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.
President Trump was just relaying personal conversations and my feeling (I could be wrong) is that he’s just further poking Putin.
The media has taken those almost offhand comments and sensationalized the whole thing. They love drama.
Especially the British tabloids.
I wouldn’t take any of this Melania speculation too seriously.
Ukraine’s gift to America. As if we really needed more of this. LOL

He’s a paid propagandist.
I guess “repetition disorder” could fit as a category of propaganda. 🤔
Yup. So, if Dr. Jill ran the country for the last two Biden years, no biggie.
Nothing he announced Monday will make any difference whatsoever in the war in Ukraine.
We don't have Patriot interceptors and missiles to spare. There is no chance Trump will follow through on sanctions proposed, which would hurt us far more than Russia.
Always keep in mind the $$ circle. We give $$ to UK for weapons with the requirement that they buy only US weapons.
The difference here is that without the Biden crime family in charge the skimming is less.
Crazy
See post 6. They are all there in a row
I posted it wrong. The list of pro Russian Freepers is in the ping list on post 8
Thanks.
