On March 3, Donald Trump described Vladimir Zelensky’s remark about the conflict being far from over as "the worst statement that could have been made"
WASHINGTON, March 21. /TASS/. Russia and Ukraine will enter a full ceasefire very soon, and the issue of dividing Ukrainian territories is being discussed right now, US President Donald Trump has said when responding to questions by journalists in the White House.
"I believe we're going to pretty soon have a full ceasefire [in Ukraine], and then we're going to have a contract. And the contract is being negotiated, the contract in terms of dividing up the lands, etc., etc. It's being negotiated as we speak," the president noted.
He also recalled his meeting with Vladimir Zelensky, which had taken place in Washington on February 28. "The expression I use is, 'some people don't have the cards.' I used that expression about a week and a half ago, right? Somebody was negotiating, who didn't have the cards, who's now, I think, saying that he wants to do it," Trump emphasized. "And I think we're going to have a big deal on that very special something. We’ve got to make a deal on that," the US leader added, providing no further details.
On February 28, Zelensky arrived at the White House for a meeting with Trump. During their conversation in front of the media, an argument erupted, during which Trump pointed out Zelensky’s disrespectful attitude toward the United States, and US Vice President JD Vance stressed Zelensky’s ungratefulness for the support Washington had provided to Kiev. The press conference that was supposed to be held after their meeting was canceled, and the signing of a US-Ukraine mineral deal did not take place. Trump later published a statement on Truth Social saying that Zelensky was disrespectful and not.....

Zelenskyy is a card. A joker.
Ten or twenty years from now these guys will try again.
It’s how the Europeans are — greedy for land and quick to carnage.
Let’s get the US out of Europe forever.
You have to beat “Z” over the head and explain to him “Wars” from the beginning of time.....”To the Victor goes the spoils”.
Starting with NATO. Yesterday.
Everyone has an all encompassing perspective on the war.
Some focused on cost. Some focused on who wears the white hats vs black hats. Some focused on PR events.
Trump really is all powerful. A president who isn’t running again and who defeated everything the Swamp could throw at him.
And so . . . best that everyone get it through their heads.
Trump wants the war to stop AND HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT WHO WINS.
Zelensky is not the ultimate “decider”
I believe he’s taking orders from the EU particularly London and Brussels.
They want the war to continue, so he will do things like sabotage a White House meeting or break a tacit agreement not to target energy infrastructure - to embarrass Trump and keep this EU-globalist war going.
> Ten or twenty years from now these guys will try again. <
I wouldn’t bet against that.
Could be the EU - or its successor - trying to push east.
Could be Putin - or his successor - trying to push west.
Nothing wrong with Trump - or his successor - being an honest mediator, of course. Just don’t involve any American dollars or American troops, please.
Well that was his profession, right? A guy who plays piano with his .... for laughs. He’s about to bring down the house...
I have no idea why he wants it stopped. Why he cared.
Did he know about the minerals and have them in mind all along?
Was he concerned about european morons starting WWIII and nukes being used, which would still affect us over here?
I dunno.
Not to sound cold, but I am much more concerned about American lives.
If they all want to go at it, let them.
I also think Trump KNOWS what he is saying very likely isnt true.
z the jerk said today that he wants ALL of the land back.
Zelensky is being influenced by the war mongers in Britain, EU and/or America. It would be best for him to remember who it is that butters his bread.
maybe because CIA was meddling as they always do in an overthrow of a regime done with slush fund USAID
Maybe Trump should meet Putin in the palace at Yalta. Putin can promise free elections in the Russian occupied territories. Where have we seen this before?
Let’s see just how much the Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie Alliance — that “holy” coalition of Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China — can plunder from sovereign Ukraine. This is a defining moment, a clash of civilizations where the survival of Western values is at stake.
May the enduring principles of conservatism — Law and Order — rise above the chaos. And may we stand firm in the time-tested doctrine of Peace through Strength, applying relentless pressure on the true aggressor — the invader who spat on international law.
Predictably, there will be a few modern-day Hanoi Janes among us, ready to kneel and cheer for the oppressor instead of standing with the victim. A disgraceful reminder that we live in a bizarre twilight zone — where right is wrong, and wrong is paraded as virtue.
History is watching. Let’s make sure we’re on the side that our children won’t be ashamed of.
Clearly a situation which requires a level of discernment similar to that possessed by the late Italian prime minister:
UK Telegraph, Feb. 13, 2010: Silvio Berlusconi has said that while illegal immigrants were not welcome in Italy he would make an exception for “beautiful girls”.
By then, they’ll be full-blown Eurabia. Armed with French and British nukes.
Give Z a Nobel peace prize, and in exchange he can pack his bags for Abu Dhabi and a luxurious (and very watchful) retirement.
Trump wants the war to stop...
Which begs the question, why? Why should the official stance of the United States give two shits about dead Russians or Ukranians? It may be a moral/ethical issue to individuals, but if the primary objective is the safety and security of the U.S., the best strategy would be to cut our losses, say “you guys have fun” and leave it for Europe to handle, since the action is happening on their doorstep.

The man has told you. You have to listen to him.
When you have a bunch of scared 18 yr olds with guns the odds are ridiculously high that there will be gunfire. Then after there is, crazy stuff can happen.
You never know who is working the late shift on the nuclear weapons assignment. He could be related to a Russian guy in the field — who gets killed. He concludes, rightly, the US is responsible.
And nukes fly.
It’s because of the danger of WW III. Trump is focused on that. It’s the US that is in danger of that. So he wants the war stopped and doesn’t care who wins.
Maybe Trump should meet Putin in the palace at Yalta.

Your Russian Derangement Syndrome is showing. I used to have your attitude back in the 70’s when I trained in the Airborne against the Soviets.
You confuse Soviet Russia with the modern Federation of Russia. I know, I trained “ Ivan’s” for three years in Moscow not to long ago.
I suggest instead of keyboard commandoing, go visit modern day Russia, you will be amazed and in awe.
