Summary

  • Trump criticizes Zelenskiy for failing to seek peace with Moscow
  • Trump suggests Ukraine may need to cede land to Russia for peace
  • Harris has pledged continued support for Ukraine, rebuked Trump for stance on Putin
WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Thursday blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for helping start that nation's war with Russia, a comment that further suggests Trump is likely to decrease U.S. support for Ukraine if he wins the Nov. 5 election.
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 Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbor 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 Kyiv considers unacceptable.

With the UN’s Communist “migrant” invasion bringing in the big bucks for Marxist and Socialist freeloaders, Zelenskyyyy decided he had to come up with a way to get in on some of the Bidensyyy/Harriskyyyy administration’s big bucks.

I doubt this headline is accurate
He’s spoken on this quite a bit
I blame our stupid state dept for Maiden, zekensky and the oligarchs who prop him up and preceded him and an optimistic Putin

And a stupid Europe while we’re at it

That has all been argued before.

But, the next war will be fought in our country. The commiecrats have got their militia in place within our borders waiting for the go ahead.

It sure seems that he could have avoided the war without unreasonable concessions.

Ukraine will be just fine. The Zelensky govt may not be, but the land will be just fine.

A Ukraine military technocratic govt will take over. It will withdraw troops to essentially nothingness, send them home to return to their lives.

As a technocratic gov’t it will have no foreign policy positions. All US and UK intelligence figures on site will likely be executed. The Russians will begin to withdraw its troops after it is clear that new government is in place in Kiev.

The new oblasts in the east and south, and maybe another, will remain or become part of the Russian Federation. The Russian troops will then fully withdraw.

This last sentence will be all that is reported. Great victory.

Tensions were growing between the Ukraine and Russia at the close of the Obama administration. Trump sold anti-tank missiles to the Ukraine and met with Putin, probably assuring him that ANTO would be no threat. Peace ensued. Democrats falsely claimed that Trump demanded “pay for play” from the Ukraine. Trump was impeached. Democrats made false accusations of Trump-Putin collusion. Trump is Hitler, Putin is Hitler hate campaigns continue. Trump is impeached.

Biden becomes President. He and Hunter continue their pay for play with the Ukraine. Trump is Hiter; Putin is Hitler hate fests continue. War breaks out and billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars are sent to the Ukraine, with much of it being siphoned off to enrich politicians in the Ukraine and probably the US.

Biden/Harris continue to sleepwalk the US into WWIII.

Trump has to play nice with Z-Man now.
When he takes office he will knee cap Z-Man.

Zelensky and the Ukranian army had been attacking the eastern provinces (where the ethnic russians live) for 7years (since 2014), killing hundreds of civilians, before Putin invaded to protect those people. Democrats don’t want you to know that. YES, I am saying Ukraine is responsible for this war.

Trump simply needs to talk and expose how Ukraine was parcelled off and sold to the west thru Foreign Ministry partner financer’s like Blackrock, JP Morgan, etc. Trump explains how Zelinski sold off assets, which in turn required further loans to support the military Zelinski built with the money from the sales. In a never ending spiral, Ukraine eventually lost it’s soverign nation status with the Western financer’s either owning outright, or holding banknotes to take possession should Ukraine default.

The eliminaton of the population of Ukraine further makes in impossible for this country to ever repay the debt, thus the people are essentially slaves to the West.

Zelinski is the world’s best salesman, but it is for SELLING OUT UKRIANE, and not for scooping up handouts in the West.

Trump need only tell the truth.
