Not in the least.
He did not screw up. World “leaders” Will want you to think he screwed up, but he was right on target. Wait for it.
Why are we posting this guy’s Facebook post?
gaslight anyone?
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.
“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.
Solid analysis.
WOW! 10-D chess!
Trust the plan! WWG1WGA
No.
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:
- 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.
- Negotiate a cease-fire to stop the killing and destruction so the two sides can move to ending the war.
- 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.

Very, very simple really.
Zelensky needs Trump more than Trump needs Zelensky.
A parasite without a host is a dead parasite.
Of course not
Do you have a brain ???
Any American who supports Zelensky in this deal is Fredo, taking sides against The Family.
Zelensky's grandstanding seemed so grotesque that it is impossible not to suspect ulterior motives. I won't speculate what those actually are but I'd start the search with U.S. Deep Staters who consider a Trump-negotiated peace to be disagreeable.
Only thing Trump screwed up is the democrats act of greed.
No
