He did not screw up. World “leaders” Will want you to think he screwed up, but he was right on target. Wait for it.

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.

Russia will treat it as an existential war.

It's like Russia establishing missile bases on Cuba.

No and the phrase of the day tomorrow on the political talk shows will be “embarrassed the US”. If the MSM talking heads don’t like what happened, it was a good thing.

He is a lifelong practitioner of strategy. I think we should hear him out.

“But here’s the genius part—Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U.S. into war.”

BINGO! Too bad Z is too stupid to realize it. I feel very sorry for the Ukrainian Ambassador. What a horrific tragedy to witness as your boss destroys years of diplomatic actions.

Trump did not screw up — Zelensky did.

He might not agree with you:

“This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.”

The guy who posted this stated that. That is the msm propaganda out there. Of course both the writer and I do not believe that but I had no title for the post and that is what the writer did state to prove otherwise.

I posted earlier:


Mr. Zelensky seemingly triggered the two American leaders by... pressing for commitments to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression going forward...

Zelensky apparently got used to walking into a signing ceremony after advanced teams agreed on the terms and then dropping one final demand out of the blue. President Trump was having none of it this time.

I know from my own experience as a facilitator of groups of people that I have a plan for managing the flow of the conversation so that the group can achieve their goals. When one participant wants to upend that plan for their own ends, it throws the whole experience off for the other participants. Trump had a three-step plan for ending the war in Ukraine:

  1. Sign an economic agreement between the United States and Ukraine. This ties the United States to Ukraine's existence and put American non-military resources on the ground as a deterrence against attack.

  2. Negotiate a cease-fire to stop the killing and destruction so the two sides can move to ending the war.

  3. Negotiate a compromise agreement where each side agrees on borders going forward. Ukraine would have to accept some losses and Russia will have to cede back some land that was taken. They can take time in this step because the killing stopped in step 2.

Zelensky blew up this plan by making a new demand in step one for "security assurances" that nobody pre-arranged and signed off on. Trump walked away like President Reagan at Reykjavík.
