He’s still making the same demands for troops.

Where is Zelensky going to find 100B dollars?

From us of course. The clever thing here is that this proposal will be even more lucrative to the military industrial complex than continuing the war, and hence may cause the deep state to switch sides on peace. I would not be surprised if Trump originally suggested this maneuver.

WOW, The Daily Mail using the words “Zelensky” and “Masterstroke” all in one sentence.

“Masterstroke” must describe how Zelensky plays his piano. I wonder if the euro-trash leaders schooled the little green goblin on the flight across the pond?

The Little Green Bully and His Gang arrived in DC.

Can't even stand on his own two feet. President of his country?? Only on Paper. He cares nothing for his people.

Paging the Daily Mail and the UK’s Deep State, some video everyone might want to take a look at...

Clandestine
@WarClandestine

I think this moment was far more important than we realize.

While Trump has NATO leaders and Zelensky in a photo op, he directs their attention to a painting from that day in Butler.

And all the leaders look like they just saw a ghost.

Does Trump know who tried to kill him?

Last time, Trump offered security guarantees for US contractors to help rebuild the country and Zelenskyy blew that up because there were no troops being offered.

He still wants troops, because he knows that no deal can be struck.

“Zelensky laid the groundwork by offering a $100 billion weapons deal as an olive branch to Trump.”

WTF does that mean? He’s going to return some of the money he stole from America under Biden? It’s going back into our coffers instead of the Biden family’s pockets? (Miss Lindsey probably still will get his cut post-laundring.)

“The Ukrainian leader also donned corporate attire in accordance with his more nuanced approach to handling the professionally-dressed US president.”

I’ve been in “corporate”; that wasn’t corporate. He looked like crap. I’ve seen him in an actual suit, we know he owns one.

A number of months ago President Trump was offering billions to the Ukes for minerals and rare earths. So Ukraine gets back billions in American made military equipment and we get minerals and cash.

And oh, Putin gets bitch-slapped in the process too and a very good reason why he comes to the peace table.
