Trump Criticizes Zelensky for Helping Start the War in Ukraine, as ‘The Greatest Salesman on Earth’ Now Demands ‘either NATO Membership or Nuclear Weapons’
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10-18-24 | Paul Serran

In a context where thousands of American citizens are struggling in the aftermath of the Helene and Milton hurricanes, it’s outrageous that feeble Joe Biden is still dishing out hundreds of millions of dollars to the ‘world’s greatest salesman’, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zlensky, to bankroll a war effort in a conflict that he has no chance of winning.

Of course, America first leader and Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has been very critical of this situation, and as election day approaches, he has been stepping up his criticism of Zelensky.

This week, while presenting his ‘victory plan’ to his countrymen, Zelensky went over board and demanded that ‘either Ukraine joins NATO or gets nuclear weapons’, in what many understood as some kind of ultimatum to Trump.

As we know, that’ll never fly with Trump, who may have felt free to step up his criticism of the embattled Ukrainian leader.

So yesterday (17), Trump for the first time lay the blame on Zelenskiy for helping start that nation’s war with Russia.

This was widely seen as yet another evidence that Trump will shift the present ruinous U.S. policy toward Ukraine when he wins the Nov. 5 election.

Reuters reported:

“The Republican former president has frequently criticized Zelenskiy on the campaign trail, repeatedly calling him “the greatest salesman on Earth” for having solicited and received billions of dollars of U.S. military aid since the war broke out in 2022.

Trump has also slammed the Ukrainian leader for failing to seek peace with Moscow, and he has suggested Ukraine may have to cede some of its land to Russia to make a peace deal, a concession Kiev considers unacceptable.”

Trump’s comments on a podcast with Patrick Bet-David ‘went a step further’ than his previous criticism.

Zelensky would be to blame not just for failing to end the war, Trump said, but also for helping start it.

“’That doesn’t mean I don’t want to help him because I feel very badly for those people. But he should never have let that war start. The war’s a loser’, Trump said.”

The Ukrainian presented his ‘victory plan’ to Trump during a ‘cordial meeting’ in New York in September.

But Trump has made no secrets that he will work to end the war in Ukraine when he defeats Kamala Harris on Nov. 5.

He has gone as far as saying that he could end the conflict ‘before he takes office in January’.

As for cackling Kamala Harris, she would continue to keep the war machine running, to the delight of the ‘military industrial complex’.

“Harris has pledged to continue supporting Ukraine, and she has portrayed a victory for the eastern European nation as a vital U.S. national security interest. She has frequently rebuked Trump for being unwilling to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

President Trump was on right on target when he called Zelensky “the greatest salesman on Earth” for bilking billions from U.S Taxpayers since the war broke out in 2022.

That Ukraine is vital to America’s interests is one of the biggest lines of BS in the history of humankind.

Let that sink through some of the Zeepers' thick skulls.

Lei’s see...Russia attacked Ukraine and got kicked out of the country except for the parts Russia had invaded in 2014.

Now Ukraine has all but kicked Russia out of Crimea; taken over an Oblast in Russia; and has almost destroyed Russia’s oil supply.

Meanwhile Russia has lost almost 700,000 soldiers and done nothing but try to kill civilians and blow up every building in Ukraine without making any progress in winning the war. And now the Russian propaganda says Russia is winning.

Did I mention Russia is killing POWs? And has taken thousands of kids from Ukraine to Russia?

Now, instead of posting propaganda on FR, they can devote ALL their time to getting Harris elected.

And you’re more concerned about some corrupt hellhole? Give me a break. If you’re so concerned, why aren’t you over there fighting for your globohomo, grifter god, Zelensky?

We're 19 days out from the most consequential election in our history, and tFR is being spammed by Ukranian whackjobs. I have my thoughts as to why this is happening.

Well, then we should give him a nuclear weapon.

A B2 could deliver it on him before he even knew it was there.

It is in everyone else’s interest when, as Zelensky is inferring here, it would lead to nuclear proliferation. If the West doesn’t stand up against expansion it’s dictators, every two bit country with a dispute with a large neighbour is going to rush to acquire nukes. That is the fact of the matter.

Not sure that Zelensky isn’t winning the war in a particular definition of the situation. I am pretty certain that Ukraine as a nation is NOT winning, tho.

There you have it. As long as US hegemony continues, we can run up debt like there’s no tomorrow and the ruling class thrives.
