Van Hollen: Trump Administration Bullying Ukraine, ‘Throwing Them Under the Bus’
Breitbart ^ | 02/18/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/18/2025 10:41:37 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) claimed Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that the Trump administration was bullying Ukraine and throwing them under the bus by beginning talks with Russia.

Van Hollen said, “The big missing party at that meeting in Riyadh was Ukraine. What we saw in Munich was a series of Trump administration officials essentially trying to to bully Ukraine into giving up lots of its natural resources in exchange for continued U.S. support.”

He continued, “Well, I think Ukraine needs to be at the table when these negotiations are going on. after all, Putin attacked Ukraine. Ukraine has lost thousands and thousands of its people. So to even begin a process without including Ukraine is perceived by Ukraine and many around the world as just throwing them under the bus.”

Check out the bank accounts of ANY senator or congress member who does not want this war in Ukraine to end..the same ones screaming “CEASE FIRE IN GAZA” want the Ukraine war to last forever, ask yourself, why is that..I will tell you why..MONEY LAUNDERING that simple..the money gets funneled to Zelenskyy and his goons, the money then gets funneled back to offshore accounts of these senators

I don’t understand what the admin mod has against certain sources. Says reason blog pimp. That’s simply a matter of opinion.

These days almost every offering is a form of a blog...it’s all someone’s pov. And he/she knows this is true.

So, it’s personal and we don’t need that.

Ukraine needs peace, an end to its corrupt government, and the return of its true Orthodox Church!

The real truth, that Trump will do ANYTHING for Ukraine and that Ukraine is winning the war outright will be posted in an article by marcus later, right marcus? :)

Pick up a rifle, Democrat, and head to the front.

The Uke war is just another fraud avenue being shut down.

Trump, Musk, DOGE and the trimming of gov’t plus the protection of Constitutional sovereignty have high favorability. The Dems/progs do not.

Non-NATO Ukraine is at war with non-NATO Russia. There are no buses under which to be thrown, though — in the immortal words of a Muslim female in Congress in the same political party as Chris Van Hollen — “somebody did something.”

“”””Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)””””””

Didn’t he have years to make a deal himself? All he and the other democrats did was send truckloads of money to keep it rolling.

I said the Uke fraud avenue was being shut down.

I don’t know that, actually. There’s going to be peacekeeping and reconstruction contracts...lots of avenues for the connected to siphon cash, on both sides of the ocean.
