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!
Europe is Hell-bent on continuing the war when they have the option of peace.
Before this is over they will both internal and external war.
Oh well. I guess that should help to reduce the world’s population by 90% so it’s all good.
Complete nonsense. So Churchill in WW2 should have rushed to die at the front. Seriously?
The last English king to be killed in battle was Richard III, who died at the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 22, 1485. He was killed during a mounted charge against the forces of Henry Tudor, who went on to become Henry VII.
It doesn’t matter what Trump says or does. The lib world media will scream as usual. F them.
I eagerly await the revolutions in Europe as they try to draft the native citizens and leave the invading koranimals to rape all of their women while they are away.
Europe has not given close to its all.
The old "domino theory" of the disgraced neocons. Go volunteer to fight yourself, oh great armchair general.
Is this a lasting peace or just a pause for Russian rearmament before Putins next invasion?
You do realize that a disaster in the Ukraine becomes a disaster for Trump
You go fight boomer.
Are they ante ing up a lot of money?
Right. Some people are too important to die. Only the little people have to die. And only the little people’s wives have to die; the big people’s wives go on luxurious shopping sprees instead, as God ordained.
Donald Trump took a bullet to the ear so he could serve the American people.
Key word “legally”. There’s going to be an armistice, not a final treaty that grants formal legitimacy to whatever arrangements are made.
P.S. Someone tell the president that he doesn’t have to raise the tariff on paragraphs. They are our friends, and it’s tough enough for them wedged in between Brazil and Argentina.
are embargos acts of war?
How will we ever know if we don’t try?
Like I say, Ukraine can live to fight another day, or they can die right now. Their choice.
On a personal note, I don't care about either side. Putin is a murderous dictator who won't stop until he faces the Good Lord above, and Zelenskyyyyy is a money laundering clown. They could decimate each other and I'd go on about my business.
Sucks these days to be a moronic Zeeper doesn’t it?
Keep waving your Ukraine flag.
I thought that was a joke.
If Trump wants to walk away he should just do so without pretending to broker a peace.
That would be the next step, because Ukraine doesn’t have many soldiers left. And the mentally handicapped aren’t able to fly planes and do surveillance to know where the enemy is. They’re pretty much just good for cannon fodder. When you run out, you run out. At that point, the EU folks will either have to walk away from their losses or offer up their own people to do the fighting.
You can bet the Muslim invaders are not going to let themselves be drafted.
The EU is far less indebted than we are.
