DJT may have underestimated how difficult this was going to be. It is certainly not going as promised so far. Perfect example of a situation where he should have done a better job of managing expectations…
A few weeks of slaughter should induce the Ukraine military to take control and remove Zelensky and that entire government.
From day one the only solution was a Ukrainian military coup. They would be Russian friendly, completely and purely technocratic, and all problems would be eliminated.
Elections can be promised maybe in 10 years or so. For now, with a technocratic perspective, the lights go on, the trains run on time, there is no foreign policy, and repairs can be funded by the gas Transit fee. It’s actually not a complicated thing.
You can’t make peace when only 1 side is willing to talk. Zboy made it clear he is not interested in peace
Don’t blame President Trump for Zboys Democrat advisors coaching him to blow up the deal. This lies squarely at the feet of Murphy, Vindman and Rice. They could care less about Ukraine. They saw this as a way to “embarrass Trump” and help Democrats politically
Ukraine should have Ukraine born Vindaman hung for treason. He may of just destroyed his country.

Trump will turn his attention to Russia and shore up relations in that direction if the EU doesn’t want his help. Once the EU finds themselves as the odd man out of this card game, they will come around.
It's going fine. In any negotiation, each party comes to a point at which they have to face reality about their leverage. That’s exactly where Zelensky is—realizing he has no real leverage since most of his money and weapons come from the U.S.
He assumed his fawning "backers" from Europe could fill the gap if U.S. support faltered. He’s learning that he was wrong.
