The rift between Washington and Kyiv over a potential ceasefire in the war with Russia deepened on Monday as Donald Trump expressed new outrage at Volodymyr Zelenskyy for saying that the end of the war could be “very, very far away”.
In a post to social media on Monday, Trump posted a link to an Associated Press story outlining Zelenskyy’s comments and said: “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!
“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the US,” Trump continued.
I don’t think Trump realizes Ukraine will go it alone if they have to. Trump has never sacrificed anything in his life.
I have a friend who is from a different former Soviet nation. And acording to him most people would rather die than join back up with Russia.

Oh look, he insinuated the quiet part out loud.
His one-sided deal and shitshow of meeting was meant to anger Zelenskyy so they could create some pretense for siding against Ukraine. Since that failed, he’s just going to pivot to this as justification for joining the war on Daddy Vladdy’s side.
Putin has ordered me to stop the war before he runs out of money! And this insolent Ukrainian simply does not want to surrender his country when I tell him to!
Trump: The war will end either very quickly or maybe never
Zelensky: Yes the end of the war may be very far away
Trump: The fuck did you just say?
Weird, what happened to ending the war within one day?
You watched that plan fall on its face the other day. I’m reasonably certain that was his plan from the start, just bully Zelenskyy until he gave in.
At this point it’s Putin (through Trump) who seems desperate to end the war. While I don’t want to see more Ukrainians dying, agreeing to a truce now seems like a bad idea.
Russia is financially screwed. The oil and gas industry there is crippled. Minimal funds are entering the country and the war machine has forced manufacturing companies to make weapons with bank loans they didn’t want to take and the banks didn’t want to make.
The government is broke. The banks are broke. Industry is broke. All to feed the military. This is very much a war of attrition but it money not troops.
Which is why the puppet master is having his marionette lift US sanctions on Russia.
On the other hand, it would be very funny if someone decided to bank on Russia’s weakness after 3 years of war and start a
full scale invasionspecial military operation to strengthen the border security.Finland
What was Trump’s record with negotiating peace last time?
I recall him capitulating in Afghanistan. Was he successful anywhere else? He appears to like to rant and rave, and wants to throw his weight around, but he is clearly an exploitable, weak leader.
Trump signed the deal and set the deadlines for troop withdrawal. Biden was president for the completion of the pullout. By then it was already apparent the Taliban would takeover once the US military was gone.
In my opinion Biden was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. Republicans would say he sabatoged Trumps peace deal if he sent the troops back and cried anyways when the obvious happened as troops were withdrawn.
Trump just wanted to use ending the war as a campaign talking point. He didn’t care if it worked or not. The fact it didnt and Biden got the shit sandwich was an unintended bonus.
As far as Trumps history with deal making the LA Times goes over some and has link to the SEC document that lists Trumps failed businesses.
The ego of Autocrat Kompromat Trump literally has no borders, not even national ones ^^
Oh look, the giant orange manbaby is throwing a temper tantrum again and taking everyone with him because nobody ever said “no” to him ever before
