Donald Trump was on a fresh collision course with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and European allies on Friday after a stunning agreement to buy Russian diesel, upending years of US and western pressure on the Kremlin to end its four-and-a-half year war against Ukraine.
Zelenskyy reacted furiously to Trump’s announcement of the deal with President Vladimir Putin of Russia, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “not fair and not honest”.
Zelenskyy, who told Axios that it “looks like a happy birthday present for Putin. It looks absolutely terrible.” The Russian leader turned 74 earlier this week.
In a long social media post, Zelenskyy, who has had an uneasy relationship with Trump, said the deal amounted to “an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged”. Russia was likely to repay it with “further terror and perfidy”.

Meh. He’s probably just hormonal. Give him a couple days and let him have some space.

Z boy is furious that he no longer receives his usual and customary 10%.

> fresh collision course with the Ukrainian president
Boohoo. He corrupted his own legal system to protect Hunter Biden’s scam. He plotted to divert $200 million to support Biden. He made his choices.

Every searing complaint by this indomitable man is but one perspective on the misbegotten perfidy of Donald Trump, a foretaste of the bitter pain that it will ultimately inflict on America and our allies.

Trump decided to make a diesel fuel deal with Russia after Zelensky ignored half a dozen US
requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries...a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Axios.

What happened to you? You used to be a patriot. Now you’re a cheerleader for any foreign moocher and a Trump hater.

I hear Z is now experiencing the same pain he once felt after he struck a deep chord on his piano using no hands...

Is Z jumping up and down and stamping his little feet?Yes, and that caused his pants to drop down around his ankles. But that didn't stop him from playing the piano with his ****.
