Rubio: Zelensky ‘Should Apologize for Wasting Our Time’
Breitbart ^ | 02/28/2025 | Jeff poor

Posted on 03/01/2025 6:41:39 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Friday on CNN’s “The Source,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to apologize for the dust-up between him and President Donald Trump earlier in the day.

Rubio said the much-publicized moment made the entire visit by Zelensky a “waste of time.”

“[W]hat specifically do you want to see President Zelensky apologize for?” CNN host Kaitlin Collins asked.

“Well, apologize for turning this thing into the fiasco for him that it became,” Rubio replied. “There was no need for him to go in there and become antagonistic. Look, this thing went off the rails. You were there, I believe. It went off the rails when he said, let me ask you a question to the Vice President. What kind of diplomacy are you talking about? Well, this is a serious thing. I mean, thousands of people have been killed, thousands. And he talks about all these horrible things that have happened to prisoners of war and children, all true, all bad. This is what we’re dealing with here. It needs to come to an end.”

I had my reservations at first but I am very impressed with Rubio as Secretary of State. Great pick. Trump must have seen something we didn't.

He should apologize for wasting the billions we’ve sent him.

Rubio has been truly impressive, sharp as a tack.

Senator Graham has turned on Zelensky, insisting he should resign and be replaced. Maybe Trump would rather deal with a new President he can talk to.

Zelensky’s NOT a friend of ours... He should apologize to Trump and the American people - then we should shake his hand and wish him well.

We’re not gonna play the fool to this thug. Let Europe pay the way for him - with his usual no accountability for the money given and weapons on the black market.

Eff him.

The little twerp is running around looking for support from the Euro heads of state.

What is suspected is, he is making arrangements to flee Ukraine.

I suspect tiny Z will be making his journey into oblivion in the next 30-60 days... my guess... his own people will be dealing with him. He should expatriate himself to a non extradition nation.

Rubio got played. This guy was never going to sign that deal. He knows there are no significant minerals there and more important, he wasn’t going to sign anything that didn’t put Americans on the ground there.

But he lied to Rubio and said he would. That’s why he was allowed the big event. It was to sign the deal.

But he had been briefed by Dems and Never Trump Swamp filth that if he could just get on US TV then the media would make him look good and Trump look bad.

That was his only purpose. It was about getting a Supplemental through Congress, since there was no Ukraine money in the House budget resolution passed. The whole thing was about a Supplemental that Trump would sign.

He should apologize for wasting the billions he
connived, sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.


That’s more like it.

Zelenskyy knew the deal when he talked to Bessent. He knew the deal when he talked to Rubio. This was last ditch attempt (goaded on, I’m hearing, from Nusland, Rice and Blinken) in a public setting to force the wests hand in a security arrangement.

Not a smart move.

He listened to and trusted the wrong people. People who think they are still in charge. Loser move.

I think they told him, stand up to Trump, and Sunday Night you’ll go to The Oscars and get a heros welcome, and become the new face of the Anti-Trump Resistance.

I’m inclined to agree. I think that dwarf should not be allowed back into the country since he is back door dealing with those opposed to the current administration.

What is the source reporting that Zelensky talked to Democrats before meeting Trump? Obviously, really dumb idea.

newland, rice and blinken should not be allowed in this country. If you feel that is extreme, they should only be allowed in this country if they are shackled, gagged and staring out of a prison cell.
