Well zeepers, I thought Russia was stuck using donkeys for the troops and was spent militarily. Where is all the Europe support of 20,000 troops and armor and funds. if Zelensky has such backing from Europe why is he virtually crawling back to Trump to sign the deal?
I recall being told Europe has massive amounts of funds and armor and troops Zelesky can do without America, what happened?
Good grief, when will zeepers tire of being wrong.
If the Russians want Europe, they can have it. Not one more dollar, not one more drop of American blood, for that God-forsaken continent and their feckless elites.
This is not caving.
Caving will be resignation in favor of a military junta who are Russia friendly. The killing stops. The gas resumes, along with its transit fee, and no guerilla scenario since the government is run by Ukranians. And no need for peacekeepers.
Linda Grahmnesty was with Murphy.
He’s a Dem. Only after Z screwed himself did Linda call him out. Talk about a finger un the wind jerk.
Come on SC, get rid of him in 26.
“We have your back” doesn’t mean much when you have to stand in front of Trump/Vance!
HEHEH Deadpool prime had Nicepool’s back and we all know how that turned out.
Of all these “Zeepers” you refer to, how many of them are actually Zelensky sycophants and how many just don’t buy into the Putin victimology narrative?
I think some of it is that he might be a deadman if this agreement is signed. Europe is making too much money on the war to want it to stop.
The Putin thing you try to interject is a tired old trope, a false equivalency. As said repeatedly two things can be true at once. Ukraine is Evil, Russia is evil.
I have never supported Putin and do not recall any freeper doing so either, though I may have missed one of course.
Ukraine is as corrupt as they come and stole billions of American resources, that must stop.
That’s how it was going to be anyway. The Ukraine war is the most unnecessary war in the history of wars in the modern era. All the fighting and killing and genocides of the Ukranians is going to result in what could have been negotiated for without a war.
If there had been no war, Ukraine could have kept more of its territory. Putin has no reason now to give up anything.
Z knows that once there’s peace, there will be elections. I doubt Z will fare well. His recent behavior makes him look like a fool and weak even among those that don’t like Trump. His political opponents in Ukraine will not be content for him to go away quietly. He’ll likely be blamed for not settling the war sooner.
What he should be doing is negotiating his exit from the political scene. Every day he holds out, the more pressure for him to resign (or worse) especially when the US withholds money.
The safest thing for him to do personally is resign and ask the parties involved in the peace negotiations that he be allowed to retire without facing prosecution. This is perhaps his only chance he has of making a safe landing.
RICO! And it aint Tony Soprano’s cousin.
What ARE Zeepers?
Zelensky fanboi freepers or just Zelensky bots
Zeepers are the virulently Ukraine supporters on Free Republic.
Good riddance to all of the EU rot. Exit Nato, Exit the UN, kick the UN out of New York and build another big beautiful park there.
or a mini nuke plant for power, whatever.
Stop taxing me for other countries !!!!
Some say Zelensky is the modern day Winston Churchill but I don’t picture Sir Winston playing a piano with his penis.
Anyway, Zelensky has had his chance, he can’t demonstrate any real ability to do more than hold off Russia on rather unfavorable lines of battle (unfavorable to Ukraine). He needs to see the reality of the situation and get a deal while there still can be any deal.
How does this minerals deal benefit the USA?
The minerals are still deep in the ground. There are no operating mines, there are no mine plans, there is no feasibility studies or permits for production. There isn’t a large scale drilling survey, resource estimate, or metallurgical survey which proves the minerals can even be mined and extracted profitably.
It seems to be the USA and Trump are purely doing a favor to Ukraine/Zelensky, to keep the USA as an interested party and ostensibly involved with Ukraine after any peace deal that may come about.
