Zelensky agreed to President Trump’s 30 day ceasefire. Putin decided to play games and waste President Trump’s time instead of agreeing to the 30 day ceasefire.

And when did that Russian proposed 3-day ceasefire take place, because both sides have been lobbing drones and bombs at each other nonstop. Was I asleep?
If they can’t respect 3 days, how can you expect them to honor 30 days? It ain’t happening. And a mineral agreement with Ukraine is meaningless if Ukraine’s Parliament doesn’t approve it, and no peace agreement occurs. It’s just wasted paper and ink. Like I said, I wish they would destroy each other, and take the whole of Europe with them. None of them are worth a dime of my tax money.

President Trump didn’t tell Putin 3 days. He said 30 days.

And Ukraine’s Parliament will ratify the minerals deal on May 8th, Victory Day.

""President Trump didn’t tell Putin 3 days"

I never said he did. If you read my comment I said "Russian proposed."

President Trump has been very clear to Putin since Witkoff’s first visit to Moscow that the ceasefire is 30 days. When Putin counters with 1 day or 3 days, it’s an insult.

All that wasted time. Putin was never serious. He was just trying to buy more time for Iran.

You keep talking about ceasefires to someone who doesn’t give a crap about Ukraine, Russia or Europe. None of them is of my concern. I don’t care, so save your breath. Unless you want to talk about all the unaccounted-for tax dollars that have been wasted on another proxy war with Russia, then there is nothing to discuss.

As I’ve previously said, I don’t give a $hit.

I don’t disagree, and their production was massive, unlike now

My only point was not about US aid, but about basically Russian Mir, and how the Russians have created a narrative about mother Russia, it’s history, it’s significance, it’s importance, it’s dreams and desires or should I say Putin’s dreams and desires.

You mean after the Wehrmacht took 1,000,000 square miles of territory before literally getting stuck in the mud a few miles out of Moscow center?

Russian tactics of put a wall of bodies in front of the enemy didn’t really work, they got very fortunate with mother nature in 1942. The United States provided Russia with oil, trucks, diesel and even trains to keep going. For Russia or anyone to deny our involvement before we landed in Africa is kind of criminal, let alone disrespectful.

It’s always assumed America’s ‘sacrifice’ or level of involvement wasn’t as great as the other powers who lost millions of lives. Our tactics were better.

"Our tactics were better."

We had more money and more factories too. The country that can out produce their enemy in war machinery, and consistently supply their military, will likely be victorious.
