and dressed only for continuing his, and the DNC, war.
Zelensky has become very much the Yasser Arafat of Europe.
Trump’s not a career politician in on the graft.
It’s over.
Story has been removed.
Zelensky spoke to Brett Bair who is a never Trump guy, I wonder if Bair will be sympathetic to Zelensky.
Personally I’m all for the U.S. pulling up stakes and Ukraine takes care of itself.
One more thing (no, I’m not Columbo) ever notice liars never take responsibility?
Proof as far as I’m concerned Zelensky is a liar.
If he is not at fault (according to him) then why shouldn’t he get more money.
That is where I believe his reasoning is going.
he’s got little-man syndrome and no morals. He’s no Winston Churchill. Too bad we can’t just toss him nude into an active volcano. That would get a lot of hits on the youtubes
IS anyone else dealing with friends and relatives on social media posting “I STAND WITH UKRAINE”? over a huge Ukrainian flag? Why is it that democrats are fearless about posting political garbage that they know will offend half of their people???
I watched the whole thing live on Fox News.
It was kabuki theater. It is clear that Zelensky does not give a damn about the lives of Ukrainians being lost, and that he also is rebelling against the advice of his staff.
I surmise that Zelensky is part and parcel of the Biden crime family, has laundered a few billion into the pockets of Biden, and his oligarch war cabinet,using Soros’s Eastern European bank network.
Trump is going to wait and watch the political demise of Zelensky, who may indeed end up at the end of a rope after he returns home.The whole war cabinet may be gunned down.This is really dirty business.
The news networks and the news sources in Ukraine and Socialist Europe are spooky silent.They know they may have to put their nations on a war footing now, upsetting their sordid journey to their respective Utopias that we no longer will pay for.

BTTT
Did you get the money?
No
You did something wrong
IMO all 3 of them came off looking rather childish and petty (He didn’t say thank you!). An argument like that should be done behind closed doors, not in public (although little Marco Rubio trying to disappear into the sofa was priceless). This and the Bondi snafu gives the leftist media weeks worth of talking points. Not good. I have no doubt that Zel will come crawling back hat in hand, he has no choice. A deal will be made and Trump will get many points for results, not style.
Key fact presented by president Trump.
To Zelensky. “You dont want a cease fire.”
Little MOFO couldnt shut his mouth and continued to interrupt the President while he was trying to make a point.
The little runt was all doped up and lying when he showed up. He met with democrats before this meeting.
I hope the Ukrainain people know that Booger Boy Zelensky didn’t even want a cease fire. He came asking for our troops and more money after telling Rubio he was coming to sign the deal.

I get angry at Steve Bannon at times but I believe he is right that Trump should not bother dealing with Zelensky and pull all US support and let the EU do the whole thing.
Jesse Waters played this and said “Dude, you were thrown out of the White House before lunch. You definitely did something wrong”.

Many of you probably watched what took place between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy tonight. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you might be thinking to yourself, Oh my God, Donald Trump just screwed up.
However, as a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, strategy, and philosophy, let me explain the difference between what you believe you witnessed and what actually happened.
Donald Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and calculated.
Tonight, Zelenskyy was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelenskyy was going to do—he would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play. Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.
When Zelenskyy began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelenskyy is trying to gain access to NATO.
Trump knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the U.S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement—an attack on one is an attack on all.
Now consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish between them would obligate the U.S. to enter into direct conflict with Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.
So what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.
This is why Trump dismantled Zelenskyy’s argument. And when Zelenskyy, seeing his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.
Zelenskyy’s real intent was clear—he would not agree to peace unless security guarantees were in place. But what was he actually saying? That NATO must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them.
Zelenskyy, Putin, and Trump all knew this. Zelenskyy, thinking he had Democrats’ support, believed he could make this bold move on live television. But Trump and Vance saw right through it and outmaneuvered him.
They knew that, in the short term, Democrats and the media would try to use this moment against them. But they also knew they had two years before midterms to prove their strategy was the right one. So they held their ground—brilliantly so.
Now, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump’s terms. But here’s the genius part—Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U.S. into war.
By negotiating a mineral deal, Trump ensures that Americans will be involved in Ukraine’s mining industry. This prevents Russia from launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering American lives—something that would force the U.S. to respond.
Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U.S. companies have mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.
Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone”.
Found it an interesting perspective. Possibly true.
They would have been wise to remain firm and explicit but magnanimous and self-controlled, especially inasmuch as they held all the power, and to insist on concessions, including a full account of the billions of dollars given to Ukraine by the Biden administration and any corrupt dealings associated therewith, whether by Ukrainians, Americans, or anyone else.
Baier displayed a fundamental lack of understanding of the situation and of US participants involved by asking a stupidly phrased question. It was very clear that Trump and Vance did not want to be thanked personally, that Z should be grateful to the US for the abundant support. Same for an apology. Trump and Vance were not looking for a personal apology, they were looking for some remorse for Z’s lack of respect to the office and to the country.
