Trump "having done a deep calculus" C'mon. Don't make me laugh. The tax-dodger-who-wants-to repay-the-taxpayers for the war costs isn't capable of deep thought. Yes, before the meeting Trump probably said "now we are going to go out there with smiley faces and YOU are just going to nod and agree with everything I say, and maybe throw in a couple of "America is Great Country" comments for good measure. Then I will get out my big Mickey Mouse marker pen and write the biggest fekin signature you will ever see in your life all over the lunch menu which people tell me is some important document". Good on Zelensky to stick up for himself and not just accept what is dictated. Imagine that meeting was in Moscow...and it was Putin with his big marker pen...and Trump was in Zelensky's place...and Putin was trying to publicly humiliate him by getting him to sign a document that was vastly in favour of Russia.....what would the Trump fanboys say then I wonder?
We had the Russian meeting behind closed doors. The Ukraine meeting televised. This is the dumbest negotiation like surreal even. Trump has zero and I mean zero negotiating skills. He got zero nada. A good negotiator would have smacked Vance, held this behind closed doors and walked out with the mineral rights. This was a layup for a the U.S and all sides . what we have now is a clear message to the world that Trump is a Bully, a Russian ally with zero skills to close a deal. Specially in the global international arena. Do some freakin homework at least. Wow I can’t believe what I saw. the excuses are oh he didn’t wear a suit, he didn’t kiss the ring and say thank you enough. What a joke.
He did privately plant the seed with the EU about joining the EU if the United States continues down the path of "isolation" while unable to admit Putin is a dictator who invaded Ukraine regardless to the fact that Russia wants to regain lost territory. Trump and Putin have too many similarities between the initial relationship between Hitler/Stalin in that their agreements deteriorated quickly when one continues on the path of War with it's neighboring countries. Today, one is talking about taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, Gaza with military force if needed just to gain access to the resources of those countries in which on one (Gaza) has a history of ever showing any aggression towards the United States. The other is currently in War with Ukraine while massing military with other neighboring countries while increasing the number of North Korea military soldiers within Russia under the facade it's just "training". Trump is now in a difficult position if Ukraine joins the EU with the UK willing to lead a peace keeping mission with their troops on the ground in Ukraine. It will force Trump to be the odd man out...putting him back where he does not want to be after years of saying the EU was not doing the part in putting resources to NATO. Further complicating the issue for Trump who now "seems" to be catering to Putin as if the United States can control Putin...Trump has often "threaten" to pull the United States out of NATO. To do that, Trump will need to go to battle with the U.S. Congress because he would need the approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress. Trump will never get that while Russia is trying to regain territories or breaking prior agreements to "not expand" with military aggression back into those lost territories. Simply, Trump is right that the United States has the higher ground sort'uv speak. Yet, that will become mute if Ukraine joins the EU and then the EU puts military soldiers on ground in Ukraine as a peace keeping force without the United States but with the support of U.S. military Veterans to counter Russia/North Korea. By the way, I think Zelensky is stubborn and mad that Trump called him a Dictator and then Zelensky eluded to EU that Trump is the one who's a convicted felon currently on a retribution tour against his political enemies...similar to what Putin did when he first came into power...that in turn angered Trump. It set the stage at the White House when shit hit the fan. J.D. Vance decided to talk down to Zelensky by treating him like a child when he said or asked "have you said THANK YOU to the United States" when we all know Zelensky gave his infamous speech to our U.S. Congress during the Biden Administration...thanking America for our support. That mistep by J.D. Vance changed the direction of the conversation to gutter. Zelensky has now learned a valuable lesson about Trump and J.D. Vance. If they ever have a meeting again...I expect Zelensky to bring someone to sit at the table at Zelensky right side (someone with military rank) to show J.D. Vance there's a way to talk to leaders who are at War. It will signal to Vance as a reminder that if he has something to say...do not say it to Zelensky but instead say it to the military officer that's Zelensky right hand. It will be a sign of respect. Simply, Trump does what he does. No surprises there but he never served in the military. In contrast, J.D. Vance did serve in the U.S. military and he understands RANK and INSUBORDINATION when he served in the U.S. Marines. J.D. Vance seems to have forgotten that when he decided to talk over and down to Zelensky by accusing the man of not being thankful as if Vance could not remember Zelensky thanking our entire U.S. Congress (twice) for the support America has given to Ukraine along with Zelensky thanking our U.S. military veterans when they arrived in Ukraine to fight with the Ukrainians. Going forward, I think Zelensky should not cough up its mineral resources to the United States but should go forward with joining the EU and to accept U.K. offer of putting troops on the ground as a peace keeping mission. It's something the U.K. and the EU with the United States has done often with our troops (elite fighting units) on the ground in the past with other countries. Last of all, do not believe the bullshit that the United States does not have troops on the ground in Ukraine...a statement by Republican Lindsey Graham (Kentucky). We did during the Biden Administration but they were few and only in advisory rolls. In addition, we have hundreds of Americans (former military soldiers) still fighting at the side of Ukraine's military...some of our U.S. veterans have been killed and many wounded... Many others like the Marine Veteran killed while fighting with Ukraine...veterans that Trump, Vance and Hegseth do not want to talk about. https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-us-marine-veteran-funeral-kyiv-aa5bd049d5a357109258a8e4a7b072fd https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...rial-day-americans-killed-ukraine-russia-war/ https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-veteran-ukraine-recovered/ I know of two former Airborne Rangers (Veterans who served at Fort Campbell, Kentucky) fighting right now in Ukraine on the front lines...one has relatives in Ukraine and the other enjoys War. They've been there fighting (defending civilians and killing Russians) for about a year now. Other U.S. Veterans from our elite military units are planning to go fight in Ukraine too especially if the EU puts a peace keeping force on the ground in Ukraine. wrbtrader
I know for one he is regretting this cabinet position for sure. Big eared little bitch. Banged his girl in high school
The hardcore cult Trumpers will go down with the ship. Mark my words you guys will be a small group in what seems to be a short time. This is going down in flames quicker than expected.
Mr Z's a self centered drug addict, any deal with him is worthless. Trump should know Canada has more rare earths than the rest of the world combined.
