U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said that he “vehemently” opposes Ukraine using U.S.-supplied missiles inside Russian territory but insisted he would not abandon Kyiv once he enters the Oval Office.
In an interview with Time Magazine published on Thursday, Trump discussed policy shifts he plans to implement once he takes office on January 20.
The interview was carried out on November 25.
The Republican was asked whether he would abandon Ukraine upon taking office, to which he replied: “I want to reach an [peace] agreement, and the only way you’re going to reach an agreement is not to abandon.”

“Z”....are you listening?? You should have said....”Uh oh” when you read this.
That’s one special answer...
lmao
:-)
Of course not. He wants to be able to take a carrot and stick approach in these negotiations.
Trump is being diplomatic.
You know saying something vague and ambiguous in public which will be clarified not by further words but by concrete actions in the future.
The question that many Americans and many people around the world have is, Will you abandon Ukraine?
I want to reach an agreement, and the only way you’re going to reach an agreement is not to abandon. You understand what that means, right?

Right. Well, no, tell me.
Well, I just said it. You can’t reach an agreement if you abandon, in my opinion. And I disagree with the whole thing, because it should have never happened. Putin would have never invaded Ukraine if I were president for numerous reasons. Number one, they drove up the oil price. When they drove up the oil price, they made it a profit-making situation for him, the oil price should have been driven down. If it was driven down, you wouldn’t have had it wouldn’t have started just for pure economic reasons. But when it hits $80, $85, and $90 a barrel. I mean, he made, he made a lot of money.

I read it as Trump is not going to abandon the Ukraine.
What I read between the lines is that Trump has no stomach to continue the policies of this clown Zelensky.
Not saying Trump is going to be floating regime change.
But he is floating policy change for the illegitimate regime currently in charge.
Which starts with forget about joining NATO and no more aid written with blank checks.
the numbers of dead soldiers that have been killed in the last month are numbers that are staggering, both Russians and Ukrainians, and the amounts are fairly equal. You know, I know they like to say they weren’t, but they’re fairly equal, but the numbers of dead young soldiers lying on fields all over the place are staggering. It’s crazy what’s taking place. It’s crazy.
the level, the number of people dying is number one, not sustainable, and I’m talking on both sides. It’s really an advantage to both sides to get this thing done.

The US taxpayer is paying for nearly the entire government apparatus in Ukraine right now.
The war. has destroyed its economy. Biden is about to throw 50 billion at it on the way out the door. That is if he doesn’t start WWIII before he leaves office.
Same could be said of the so-called War Between the States. If you factor in the primitive weaponry, it may have been bloodier.
Not another dime until Z holds free, transparent elections.
Elections will happen after the war is over.
Use them or lose them.
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
“If you factor in the primitive weaponry, it may have been bloodier.”
It was. Half a million killed out of a a population of 30 million.
