TRUMP: "Zelensky, by the way, I see he's trying to back out of the rare earth deal — and if he does that, he's got some problems."

kick the bum Zelensky to the curb.
Somebody needs to keep Trump up more informed.
Does he realize the insults the little punk has hurled against he and his administration?
The bombing starts in five minutes.
Gee marcusmaxipad, President Trump is saying in public that Zelensky is trying to screw America and the Trump Administration.
Do you have a lie that will counter these reported facts?
I’m still not clear on these mysterious rare earths that we want from Ukraine. I hated chem in college but I remember that rare earths aren’t that hard to find - the problem is the low concentrations. We probably have more in the US than Ukraine does.
Phrasing is so absurd nowadays.
If there is no signed piece of paper there is no deal, and if there’s no deal you can’t back out of it or violate it or anything else.
Leave it to the experts to figure out how. Maybe pull a General Patton accident on him.
This guy Zelenskyy is a nut case!!
I would almost welcome Russia to kick his azz.
Guy is as close to clinically insane as one gets!
PDJT—be done with this douchebag!
Walk away and deal with whoever takes that region.
You can’t help people who don’t want help!
What does a country do with a disrespectful punk?
Drive in and take Odessa. They owe us. And the little son of a bitch played Trump before Trump was sworn in. He signed a long term mineral deal with Starmer.
So, the Brits want to ship their minerals? They can pay US FOR USING OUR PORT. Mother effers.
“I’m still not clear on these mysterious rare earths that we want from Ukraine. “
We’ve since added oil, gas and all minerals so we’d be sure to get our investment back.
“What does a country do with a disrespectful punk?”
Abandon them to their fate.
Zelensky has all the hallmarks of a drug addict.
That’s in addition to his personality defects.
He needs to be replaced pronto because he’s off the wall crazy.
If not, Russia will take Ukraine.
I’m sure Putin has had Zelensky diagnosed by a Russian psychiatrist and knows Zelensky is imploding.
They don’t have jack.
It’s all based on old Soviet mineral surveys of dubious value.
Ukraine’s wealth lies in its farmland.
My gut tells me that POTUS may be falling into a trap.
No, Zelensky signed up and agreed to the deal about 2 weeks ago already.
However Trump came up with a totally new version of a deal a few days ago.
That is what’s causing the confusion apparently.
They’ll have to sort it out.
In the meantime... :
Trump says he’s ‘very angry’ and ‘pissed off’ at Putin during an NBC News interview

It seems to me Trump is simply making the demands more and more unacceptable so he can just walk away. I understand that may be what he wants to do, but if so, he should give up the pretense of seeking "peace."
Zelensky knows that once the gravy train stops and Ukraine and Russia sign a peace treaty, his usefulness as TEMU Churchill is over, and he knows what happens to Slavic leaders who have their power removed.
The only workable deal I see is the same as I saw three years ago: Russia gets Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea. Ukraine gets back the occupied parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia, and Ukraine gets some credible security arrangement. Transnistria goes back to Moldova to prevent more Russian hanky panky. Both sides get something, and the basis for a lasting peace.
With what, exactly? Do you have any idea how far Odessa is from Ukraine's borders? That no US warship would be permitted by Turkey into the Black Sea?
Delusional.
