Obviously, your reading comprehension is not great AND you are incapable of answering my query.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled JUST IN: Secretary of State Marco Rubio Terminates US Support of Ukraine’s Power Grid, catnipman wrote: “Rubio is doing way better than I ever expected.”
Trump’s cabinet is functioning together like a well-oiled engine ... Rubio, JD Vance and Scott Bessent were instrumental in the public diplomatic disgrace and destruction of Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today. All three had already seen Zelenskyy’s out-of-control ego games played out in recent private meetings, and all three had prepared President Trump for this and had worked out how to play Zelenskyy like a badly out-of-tune violin ...
I don't believe those who say it was Rubio/Vance/Bessent who 'set up' the fool known as Zelensky. If anything, it was Dem enablers, fawning over him in Congress, waving little Ukrainian flags on the Senate floor. They enabled him and he is desperate. He's been told 'no' many times now and he won't accept 'no' for an answer. He toured Europe claiming that his Victory Plan in Ukraine was getting US boots on the ground. 'No'. IN Europe they just stopped listening. Hegseth already said 'No' US boots on the ground a few times and Zelensky thinks he can just swagger and bully his way into getting the US into the war in Ukraine. Hegseth said the US would not support Article 5 for its NATO allies - that had to terrify them.
That's what this is - Zelensky wants US peace Keepers because he and his enablers don't plan for Peace to be Kept. It doesn't help if they start a war during 'peacekeeping' unless the US is one of the Peacekeepers. So, Zelensky is acting like he's been told he's finished unless he gets US boots on the ground as 'peacekeepers' in Ukraine. So he tried contempt with because that's what works in Ukraine, and because he's incapable of understanding Trump or others objectives. Zelensky is an idiot, whether people try to help him or not.
The difference is Trump tried hard to avoid the situation, and Poland was not involved in the (earlier) decision. Ukraine did and Zelinsky simply botched it.
SPOT ON!
Just when you think the dumbest comment on the thread has already been made….
Tissue?
USAud dumba$$ needs to go find the unemployment line. This action by Rubio will serve to further alienate Zelensky. The calls for a new PM started. With a new PM, preferably a full size adult, it should be easier to have a conversation and gain some form of agreement.
Z is a useful puppet for money laundering and keeping the money flowing. Nothing more.
The “official” sounds like a robot.
Z deserves it. It is his doing.
RATT was a metal band. The Boomtown Rats were pop.
Vitaly Klitscko is mayor of Kiev and a former boxer. I’m sure he and DJT would get along.
Are we still paying the salaries and retirement benefits for present and past Ukrainian bureaucrats and politicians?
Rubio will be awesome in enacting the Trumproe Doctrine. Cuba, Venezuela, and the other hemispheric Commies need to feel the heat, as soon as we disentangle ourselves from the Ukraine clown show.
GFY troll!!!
The democrats will find a judge to force US troops on the front lines.
I see Rubio and Sec Def Hegseth as an incredibly strong team,addressing overseas issues.
“Marco, can I bomb ‘em?”
“Sure Pete, Elon has VR working from his satellites now.”
Yup. Too bad Barbie Bondie doesn’t get it and do her part arresting the felony sanctuary mayors and governors.
“Rubio is doing way better than I ever expected.”
Zelensky stabbed Rubio in the back. Zelensky had previously agreed with Rubio to sign the minerals deal. Then in public Zelensky demanded US ground troops from President Trump and refused to sign. When he knew US troops were a non-starter.
No wonder Rubio looked pissed.

Hardening?
Trying to maximize profits, the grid in the US is squeezed to the limit and old. Anytime you have temperature extremes there is a chance that you’ll sit in the cold or heat.
Our governments solution (depending on which of the three grids you’re on) is to RATION power. Not build up the grid and reserve capacity, but to RATION power. Then they create BS like ERCOT in Texas which essentially is the body that rations the power and those making billions can hide behind. Sort of like vaccines where pharma isn’t culpable either.
Nationally embarrassing.
