If ever there were two people who should duel to the death.
Give them each a pre-loaded flintlock pistol at twenty paces.
“The Art of the Deal” its finest.
And this will be Trumps peace treaty, but the peace is on Putin and Zelensky.
Interesting comments from Zelensky on Crimea after the meeting. Says Crimea situation is different from Donbas situation because Ukraine never had the chance to defend Crimea. That was President Trump’s position on Crimea. It was lost without a fight.
I wonder where they would meet...
Let’s not forget history. Ukraine was told by Obama and Merkel not to defend Crimea. Ukraine was stolen at gunpoint by Russians from Moscow and the Russian army wearing no insignia. A war crime if there ever was one.
President Trump’s position is you don’t keep what you didn’t try to defend.
Zelenskyyy can’t keep something he doesn’t have.
Putin will never meet with Zelinsky unless Zelensky is ready to accept Russia’s terms. While Trump puts his usual spin on things I will wait for some real analysis first.
The Europeans do not want peace at all because of their irrational ongoing hatred of Russia.
Long road to any kind of peace.
What a fantasy you spin.
The Russianss do not want peace at all because of their irrational ongoing hatred of Europe.
But Putin has played all his cards and now is not sitting at the table.
Look whos coming for dinner.
“What a fantasy you spin.”
Why do all your posts look like Russian propaganda?
“Long road to any kind of peace.”
Yeah, but both sides are showing an interest in it now. Could still take months but this is the closest they’ve come to trying.
They did not have much of an army in 2014.
Klingons…
“On the front, the atmosphere must feel very different now.”
No one wants to be the last to die.
What a contrast.
Putin press conference versus Zelensky press conference.
Putin: standing behind podium at a distance from Trump giving prepared speech.
Zensky: Sitting next to Trump in the Whitehouse joking with Trump and the press.
Putin has been humiliated.
