Who invited them?

How come the Z man can be surrounded by his EU pals .....all allied against Trump?

If they weren’t invited by President Trump, they should be turned away at the White House gates.

Wonder why Trump didnt dangle NATO in front of Putin?

We don't know that he didn't.

You call yourself a Trump supporter yet your Putin lust shows in every other post you make. Post 50 is prime example.

President Trump thanks you for your input. I’m sure he hangs on your every word.

A delegation from Europe is coming to discuss a very relevant topic to all parties. These are heads of state or direct representatives. Yes, turn them away at the door. That would be super diplomatic and show how seriously the issue is being taken. 🙄

Rubio said Trump invited them. The press wants to make up things that don’t exist to try to make Trump look bad.

You missed the “if” in my comment in your hurry to thump your scrawny little chest, jackwad.

You also missed a spot on your living room window while you were vigorously licking it. You might want to get to that. See? Up there in the right corner.

Wow, must have hit the mark pretty good to get such a nasty Karen response. Name calling and hurling insults, does that bring back school yard memories to you?

“Post 50 is prime example.”

Why, Germany is even giving a date when their war against Russia will start, 2029.

To your credit, you live an imaginary life in an imaginary world filled of your own dreams, fears, and illusions. Must be nice to be so disconnected from reality.

“Security guarantees” like Prigozhin got from Putin during the Wagner coup and march on Moscow? ROFLMAO.

Awwwww…are your widdle panties in a wad? Are you sniffling because you came out of the blue with a nasty comment to me and you got smacked? 😂🤣

Are you upset because there might be a peace agreement in the near future so you feel the need to twist people’s words and make nasty posts to them? Don’t cry yet, Boryslav. There’s still a chance your beloved bloodshed will continue. Save your vitriol for when there really *is* an agreement.

I know you’ll come back to this with another of your vicious little salvos. You go right on ahead, Boryslav if that’s what makes you feel better.

Me, I’m too smart to get caught up in your little Ukie-loops. You all try that. So, I’ll not be responding to this useless conversation any further.

Have a nice day, Boryslav and don’t forget about that upper right corner you missed on your window. Or maybe you’re saving that in case there is a peace agreement soon.

Good idea not to invite Russia into NATO.
Technology transfer would have been the result.
Russia has the natural resources to go it alone in the short term, but any decently educated Russian gets the hell out of Russia so, at any threat of war, Russia ends up short in educated human resources. That is bad in modern warfare.
America had the same problem but we didn’t miss all the Liberal arts majors. Russian education system isn’t real big on liberal arts, hard science STEM education is their focus.
So their loss is pretty significant compared to ours.
Given their reduced population these days, they need to steal American and EU technology, thus NATO membership for them would be bad for us.

I didn’t write that article. Sorry if it violates your little world.

Well, I must say thar, as far as I know, President Trump indeed invited the listed European heads of government to the White House, since the end of this bloody war is of major international interest.

Possibly, the President wishes to convene an international conference on the future of Ukraine - even if the aforementioned European heads of government might only have to rubber-stamp the decisions of the three statesmen. That is diplomacy - allow other countries to retain their face on the international stage…
