TRUMP: Zelensky ‘has done a terrible job’
The Hill ^ | 02/19/25 11:35 AM ET | by Brett Samuels

Posted on 02/19/2025 9:20:00 AM PST by RandFan

President Trump on Wednesday ratcheted up his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of taking advantage of the United States and saying he has done a “terrible job” leading his war-torn country.

Trump went after Zelensky and questioned U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia a day after he appeared to blame the Ukrainian leader for starting the conflict. Zelensky responded to those earlier comments by saying Trump “lives in this disinformation space.”

“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and ‘TRUMP,’ will never be able to settle,” Trump posted Wednesday on Truth Social.

He questioned why the United States has spent billions of dollars in support of Ukraine and why the Biden administration did not demand Europe put in an equal amount, given its proximity to the conflict.

“He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden ‘like a fiddle,'” Trump wrote of Zelensky. “A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.

“In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only ‘TRUMP,’ and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going,” Trump continued. “I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..”

As always, Trump is right. I could not have said it better.

Yeah, but that bus is made out of paper. Zelensky still has to be the ultimate decider of whatever deal is made. Without his approval, no deal, even if he and Ukraine have to make go of it without the U.S. The Europeans would have to step up, though, which might be preferable.

Why? His term ended in May 2024.

Wow, yeah, a master class in the art of the counterpunch.

(Albeit Zzelllinnsskkyyy is not exactly in Trump’s weight class.)

“...make go of it without the U.S.”

An impossibility.

“The Europeans would have to step up, though, which might be preferable.”

Pipe dream, right there!

These presidential remarks will be shocking to Zelensky, as he has been used to hearing Biden lavishing compliments and praise on anything Ukraine related.

If any Zeepers looking for love, I recommend that they get a subscription to the Daily Telegraph and log on to the comment section.

They will get plenty of hugs.

There are lot of Brits flexing as if they still got something to flex.

Tony Richardson made a fine film called Charge of the Light Brigade.

Here is a brief synopsis.

The film is about the folly of war, and the poor state of the British Army and its leadership during the Crimean War (1853–1856)

I would argue that its state is poorer today.

NATO telegraphing every move during the Ukrainian offensive might also have been a mistake.

Strange how the St Z worshippers are suddenly no where to be found or heard from.

“ It is easier to fool someone than for them to realize they have been fooled”. Senile Joe fooled many, fools.

Daddy is home. He backed over little Z's tricycle with the beast. Now little Z is being taken to the woodshed.

Are there any Putin Fanbois who understand that Freepers who despise Putin, and the murdering, thieving, raping orcs he set loose on Ukraine, and wants to set loose on the rest of Eastern Europe/Northern Europe/the Caucuses, haven't selected a different dictator, towards whom they direct the the Putin Fanbois' onanistic worship of Putin?

I didn't think so.

LOL. The little green lecherchaun will be lucky if he’s still allowed to live in another month.

You expected him to do the right thing when doing the wrong thing was bringing big bucks to his pocket?

You wouldn't have to argue very hard.

Try the Poles.

A NATO split might be shaping up. Not ideal, but probably the best option. Sweden Finland, Baltics, Poles - the Poles will be the center of mass. Possibly the Rumanians, and others, depending on events. And that coalition may let Ukraine into sub-NATO. And they will go nuke.

And they are in the place to put a hurt on Russia, thats Petersburg right there, the outlet to the Baltic, and masses of Russian commerce and industry. And isolated Kaliningrad.

There are many, many ways this can go.
