What are the going odds Lucy will pull the football before the kick, again?

Zelensky has me rooting for his failure, now. Unfortunately, I want Putin to fail, too.

Maybe China can just take over both countries.

All Trump is doing is telling hime to use your natural resources...and we want a piece of it for all we've done....even though "Z" told President Trump...point blank..."Ukraine owes the USA nothing".

No soldiers...no weapons...Let's fight!!

He'd better know that they've actually got them in the expected quantities, availability, and chemical assay distribution.

Marcusmaximus, you always post the same article written up by multiple sources.

Why do you spam us this way?

Awful. Better to call Ukraine a sunk neocon cost and move on. This deal will only ensure America is in a permanent entanglement with that corrupt hostile nation forever. At this moment, we are trying to stop the corruption in Washington DC. An economic relationship with one of the most corrupt nations on earth is a horrible idea. It’s like trying to get your drunken uncle to dry out, and while you’re doing it, you pair him up with the town drunk.

Zelensky keeps dragging his feet.

If he wanted to sign the deal, he would have already.

Confirmation from President Trump.

Bad news for Putin.

This may or may not happen, but if it does, it’s a brilliant strategic move to drag Putin to the table.

Trump’s playbook writes itself: ‘We’ve got a deal, we’re moving in. You hit territory tied to our deal—well, you get the picture. But hey, Pootie-Poot, let’s strike a deal on your rare earth mines too.

Everybody gets rich!’

Tell your Putin to get with the program and agree to President Trump’s Easter ceasefire. The clock is ticking.

Putin is prepping his strategic bombers for a mass cruise missile attack on Ukraine after midnight tomorrow morning. Let’s see if he goes through with it.

There will be no ceasefire until Ukraine concedes the annexed territory to Russia and until NATO leaves Ukraine.

Personally, I’d rather go with the $300B sunk cost that was given without strings attached than to supposedly recoup some of that after the fact by staying involved in the future.

Zelensky has agreed to President Trump’s unconditional ceasefire. Putin is the one playing games.
