Zelensky was never going to back down to a thug like trump. He didn’t back down to Putin. trump isn’t so good at reading people, all he can do is try and stand over people like the bully he is and the bully his father taught him to be.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Everyone understands that this is not in line with the American opinion. This is not the US. It's just that the US is now under external control from russia (china, from dictatorships in general, probably)

Corruption is a really powerful weapon, much more powerful than nuclear!

“This War [Russian invasion] is far more important to Europe than it is to us,” Trump wrote. “We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.”

A message to 🇵🇱, Baltics, 🇵🇱, 🇸🇪, 🇩🇪 & the rest of EUR? "Don't count on the US for help if things go bad. There is a big, beautiful Ocean."

Don't think so kiddo. No peace without Ukraine and Europe present at any talks.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Saudi Arabia today, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to the United Arab Emirates late yesterday, both against the backdrop of expected peace talks on ending Russia's war against Ukraine.

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov.

2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept.

3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”).

4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.
