Donald Trump just confirmed that he will be meeting President Zelenskyi tomorrow in his Trump tower.
Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall and listen to that meeting?
“We are inundated with Russian shills.”
I know.
From the top floor!

President Trump should give Zelensky a Bird’s Eye View from the Trump Tower, ... only once.
“I wouldn’t meet with him.
Let him rot until after the election.”
Absolutely.
Sure, Democrat John Kerry can meet with any Foreign Government Official and discuss US Foreign Policy, for Six Decades with no consequences whatsoever, Presidential Candidate Donald Trump will be prosecuted for Telephoning Ukraine.
That's how the Logan Act applies.
Confidential to The Donald: Looks like his price for an endorsement is $8B
So, you are telling me if someone set up a tent in your back yard you would talk to them about it? And after they put up 2 more you would agree to let them stay if they promised to not put up anymore tents?
That is what you want Zelensky to do...
Uh…he did a few weeks ago at Maralogo.
Trumpshould be fashionably late b about 4 hours.
“He’s wants to fire long range missiles knowing Putin has said that would provoke a direct war with NATO countries including nuclear weapons.”
>>>>>>>>>>>
Well... Putin is using long range weapons from Iran and North Korea to hit not only deep inside Ukraine, but ALL of Ukraine, including hitting the capital Kiev!
Thus, please tell me...
WHY is Putin allowed to hit deep in Ukraine with weapons from communist countries? And why can’t Ukraine do the same to Russia in response?
Do you know what the world “Fairness” means?
It has been about 9 weeks since Zelensky and Trump last talked.
I don’t think there will be any discussion of specific plans to end the war. This meeting is likely going to be about generalities and ideas on the post-war landscape. When the time comes, after the inauguration, Trump is going to crack the nuts of Putin and Zelensky. The way to end this war is to make both of them thinking they’re going to lose a lot more if they don’t stop it.

I’m happy you asked.
Thus, here are the arguments why TRUMP is the only solution against Russia:
Notably, Trump is the one who INITIATED large shipments of high-tech US weaponry to Ukraine so they could better defend themselves against further Russian invasion of Ukraine which started already in 2014...
Obama REFUSED to send weapons. He only sent pillows and blankets to Ukraine.

Z-Man will need a High Chair to sit at the table.
Just the opposite. Zelensky must present his “Victory Plan” to Trump
as he is passing around to The UN.
Trump only needs to listen. No commitments and no promises.
After all, Trump is not President.

Evidently there is an official peace plan (the one you show off to the UN, press and media to form a narrative), and there is the true peace plan the one only a selected few can share behind the scenes - then waiting for the right moment to make it official. Timing is essential.
Trump has never uttered any kind of peace plan idea and how it would work.
That’s the smart thing to do. Because if he did it would only help Russia to contra react way too early.
