This is my first disappointment with Trump. I feel he was not truthful.

I am no longer going to look the other way when he does this.

He could have ended this and all he cared about was some goofy minerals deal. I guess those lives he talked about saving weren’t so much after all.

Doesn’t mean I don’t like other things he is doing, but this was important.

The mineral deal was supposed to substitute for protection assurances.

President Trump kept telling Zelenskyy that American business people on the ground in Ukraine would deter Russia from attacking.

President Trump is backing away from the negotiations to let EU leaders step up, but he will speed up getting the minerals projects going as the deterrence against further Russian aggression in Ukraine.

That's the plan, anyway.

How is a third party going to end a war in which the two parties fighting do not want to end it?

If Russia and Ukraine don't care about the lives lost in a war between themselves, why should we?

Europeans have proven time, and time again, they do not want to live peacefully with each other. They've been waging petty little wars for hundreds of years, even into the 20th and 21st centuries.

They rely on US taxpayer dollars to fund their squabbles, which up until now, US politicians have been only happy to indulge. The politicians and their benefactors in the MI complex have gotten rich in so doing.

If the Euroweenies want to fight, I say, let them have at it.

Just don't expect the American taxpayer to continue to fund it.

We broke away from the UK precisely because we got tired of putting up with this kind of BS.

Backstory: Ukraine’s fairy godfather, Joe Biden’s 2024 arms
pkg, some $425M US tax dollars, handed-over to Ukraine:
<><> air defense capabilities,
<><>air-to-ground weapons,
<><>munitions for rocket systems
<><>artillery,
<><>armored vehicles,
<><>and anti-tank weapons.

The same Biden that tramples on Americans’ 2A rights,
grabbing guns families need to protect themselves,
cavalierly blankets Ukrainian shysters with US weapons.


State Department 2025: “To date, we have provided $65.9 billion
in military assistance” to Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion.

And it’s a BIG one too! He has shown himself to be bluster and hot air. “I’ll end the war in 24 hours.” Most expected him to declare the war Biden’s folly, and WALK AWAY the first week in office. Hand that turd over to the eu. But nooooo, his ego and having surrounded himself with questionable appointments has lead to this emerging debacle of chaos. By all appearances this goofy “mineral rights” deal just sinks us deeper into the Uke swamp. He isn’t half the brilliant deal maker his marketing portends.

You "feel" ?

He was truthful in that he tried very hard to bring peace between the two nations; was not within his power to force what they do not want. As if it is his fault Russia does not want to stop the war.
