TRUMP: Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that, “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There’s nothing to talk about here.” This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? The area also houses, for many years before “the Obama handover,” major Russian submarine bases. It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever. The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the “killing field,” and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with “no cards to play” should now, finally, GET IT DONE. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Complete and Total MESS, that would have never started if I were President!

Pretty optimistic, I doubt if he can go three years without Uncle Sam writing the checks.

It is important for America and Russia to affirm that, since Zelensky wants World War Three, America and Russia will make a deal without him.

Russia will get East Ukraine, including Crimea and the rest of the area east and south of the river, and America will get 50% of the rights to the natural resources in that area.

It will be a huge win for America.

It will prevent World War Three.

zelinskyy does not want peace, PERIOD!

Or he wants credit for ending the war, with the stated conclusion that Ukraine won.

...the US is the "indispensable country." We've successfully thrown away that position away over the past 30 years.

Being the "indispensable country" has about bankrupted us.

$36 trillion in debt and growing!

We don't need it and we are being forced to put on our big boy pants and stop fighting all over the world in forever wars -- that we keep losing!

It's long past time to stop it before we go belly up.

In the end, Russia will get what they demanded before the war started - recognition that Crimea is Russian territory, control of Donbas and other western areas of Ukraine, and Ukraine’s preclusion from joining NATO. All of the lives lost for exactly no reason and a country destroyed.

Without ANY real security guarantee from the next Putin invasion, why should Ukraine recognize the annexation of Crimea? So that in the next invasion Ukraine must recognize the annexation of Donbas, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, etc.

Putin himself has repeatedly made clear that he denies Ukraine's right to exist and is determined to extinguish Ukrainian statehood.

Putin in 2021 posted a 5,000 world essay on why Ukrainian statehood was a historical mistake.

I wonder how long the European war-mongering states will be able to go on. If they’re actually paying for both the Muslim free-loaders (that are killing the original Europeans) and war in Ukraine, something’s eventually got to give.

They’re already ripe to fall from within because the Muslims are required to start taking over a host country when they reach about 10% of the population. There WILL be civil war in Europe very soon, unless the nations just roll over and accept their position in the caliphate. But they should know that there will be a dhimmi tax on everybody who is not Muslim.

So then why did Ukraine accept the US proposed TOTAL ceasefire, which Russia rejected?

And thank God for it

The Satanic UK and Brussels neo-marxist elites have been trying to entrap the USA in a war with Russia, so they can play their centuries-long game of divide-and-rule on the continent.

You said that before.

If Ukraine can’t keep its own territory then it deserves to not exist. If that’s what Zelensky wants, so be it. He can live to fight another day or he can just die right now. His choice.

Only thing is, Zelensky will never offer up his own life for Ukraine. He’s very good at offering up everybody else’s though.

"It's ironic how many of you, and apparently Trump as well, still share the neocon belief that the US is the "indispensable country." We've successfully thrown away that position away over the past 30 years."


You're right — Europe is capable of handling Russia without direct U.S. involvement, but it will take a coordinated effort.

Step 1: Europe must fully end its reliance on Russian fuel imports.

Step 2: All NATO members, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Slovenia, should meet the minimum defense spending target of 2% of their GDP.

Step 3: The U.S. should gradually reposition its forces to encourage Europe to take greater responsibility for its own defense.

I believe President Trump previously advocated for both Step 1 and Step 2.

Right, Europeans are giving weapons to Ukraine to defend itself from Putin's invasion so they are "war-mongering states", and not Russia which is actually invading Ukraine. Amazing

Maybe you’ve missed on that the US has no leverage with Zelensky. Zelensky is willing to go the Nazi Germany route and put women, girls, and boys on the front lines. He wants every Ukrainian dead in his war against Russia.

He wants to provoke WWIII. That is what the puppet masters want. If Zelensky were to offer up peace, he’d be a dead man on orders from his puppet masters.

At his core Zelensky is just a vicious little sh1t. He is a murderous dictator that needs to be put in a hole in the ground.
