455 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received a warm welcome – and a $3.3 billon loan – from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Saturday, just one day after a heated, public argument with President Trump at the White House.

The leaders embraced outside 10 Downing Street in London, where the prime minister reaffirmed the Ukrainian leader had the “full backing across the United Kingdom,” as scores of onlookers cheered.

“That is the people of the United Kingdom coming out to demonstrate how much they support you, how much they support Ukraine,” Starmer said.

Yeah, Zelensky agrees to a loan from Starmer but insists he had grants from Jao Bai-din.

...and what mineral rights are collateral on that loan from Starmer?

Are we taxpayers in the United States now behind Starmer in the payback schedule?

Here’s my take: the Ukrainian people would be better off under Putin than at war. So a loss is not a total disaster. Worse is decades of an unwinnable war.

Zelensky’s not a democrat leader - he’s an elite thug. He’s cancelled all elections, doesn’t allow free speech, closed the churches - how is he better than Putin?

And how would Ukrainian elites do if Ukraine lost to Russia? They would be much worse off.

European elites would be worse off...

And the United States? We could concentrate on our hemisphere - where China is moving into South American to take rare earth elements. Plus we would save a bundle NOT protecting the Ukrainian thug - and Europe appears well prepared to give their money to Zelensky for years. So let them. Not our circus - not our monkeys.

A “loan?” Like something he’s supposed to pay back?

And what will they do when he comes back asking for more? Because he will. We’ve seen this movie.

Wow, Zelensky got a 3.3 billion dollar loan from the UK . Secured by what?

The Ukraine's mineral wealth of course.
