Trump asked Zelensky to agree to Putin's terms for a ceasefire and he refused to give up a million Ukrainians to Russian genocide.
Trump asked Zelensky to agree to Putin's terms for a ceasefire and he refused to give up a million Ukrainians to Russian genocide.Trump merely called Zelensky down on his lack of protocol and initial unwillingness to agree to the concept of a ceasefire if it could be worked out.
one said that Russia formally was, although for Trump he "had a great relationship" with Putin
Completely false.Trump asked Zelensky to agree to Putin's terms for a ceasefire
Sorry but Zelensky was right. Putin will not accept a ceasefire unless Ukraine capitulates first. Trump was made a fool of by Putin and like the TACO he is just sits there and takes it. The weakest President in history by far. All hat and no cowboy describes his every diplomatic pick too. Sending his golfing buddy to talk to Putin was incredibly stupid.
Completely false.
Where Zelensky was wrong was protocol and initial refusal to accept the concept of a cease fire if one could be worked out. Zelensky's team is at this point in time negotiating with the RussiansSorry but Zelensky was right.
The drone attack on the bombers may change that.Putin will not accept a ceasefire unless Ukraine capitulates first.
Indeed and Flynn received a $45,000 payment for attending that RT anniversary dinner where he sat at the right hand of Putin.Flynn was once an honored guest at a dinner fete by Putin and sat at Putin's table. Amazing how much traction Putin is getting from just one meal.
Gee, a disgraced two-bit American General found guilty of lying about his collusion with Russia sides with Russia; quelle surprise.
Neither does he.I have not the slightest idea of what you are talking about.
Is this meant to be a serious thread? It shouldn't be.
Are you even paying attention?
If you were, you would absolutely understand that Trump renounced the America position as "leader of the free world" including backing away from support for Ukraine, while raising the question if America is actually more a friend of Russia than the west. Of course Zelinksy is not going to share information with the US, they don't trust the US (under Trump.)
Please, spare us your outrage. Meanwhile, who gives 2 whatever on what Flynn thinks. The man is a certifiable wack-a-doo.
Why does Zelensky need TACO's permission? I wouldnt trust him not to notify Putin.
Our English friends in the forum are wont to observe: he who pays the piper calls the tune. Zelensky is a good piper. In which case if Zelensky expects Trump to pay him to pipe, then he cannot pipe until Trump calls the tune. Assuming Trump did not call the tune, he is also relieved of any obligations in case a furious bear, bent on vengeance lashes back :0
First of all, Ukraine doesn't answer to our douche bag felon-in-chief, and Russia richly deserves every attack Zelensky can muster... Putin did, after all start a war out of his own greed to own land and control a people who he had no right to. F*** Russia, and F*** you Flynn!
All the while Zelensky was sitting there with 4 aces up his sleeves.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here...that's usually the case when someone's floundering but feels they can make "some" point. I have no idea what yours is, however I do notice that TACO is being left out of the process more and more
Boo hoo.
Zelensky & the SBU didn't want Putzin to know about it...that is why they didn't tell Trump.
After Yemen & SignalGate, can you blame them?
The West is paying Ukraine in metal so they don't have to pay themselves in blood later. Think of it as being like paying Poland in 1939 to hold off the bad guys of World War II (Nazi Germany and their military ally the Soviet Union), except less hopeless since Russia is on its own this time and little more than all of Nazi Germany's belligerence and none of their brains.Our English friends in the forum are wont to observe: he who pays the piper calls the tune.

To the contrary, although the ego driven in the administration may be offended; by NOT telling the US of its plans and intentions IT makes it clear to Russia that the US didn't approve or participate in the operation.
They did themselves and US a favor by taking sole responsibility.
But hey, I'm sure there are those looking to be offended anyway.

As for the bear, it's rabid and in its death throes, so it's going to lash out as much as it can anyway. Rabies can't be cured with kindness, and the bear is unwilling to be painlessly euthanized by the merciful Ukrainian veterinarians, so its death will have to painful and drawn out.
Its a tricky situation for Zelensky. He expects the furious bear to lash back, against which he is frantically asking Trump for a bouquet of patriots. The problem for Zelensky going solos is that in case things go south Trump can also tell him: you went solo, you deal with it
He lied and claimed the SALT treaty made the attacks on strategic bombers illegal. Also he was obviously upset about our sworn enemy losing aircraft that could attack the US with nuclear weapons. That is inexcusable for a former general.What in Gen Flynn's article amounts to siding with Russia?
Ukraine blew up planes already loaded with cruise missiles aimed at Ukrainian civilians. There is nothing tricky about that. The night before this Russia launched over 400 drones at Ukrainian cities. I don't think the "furious bear" has much more to retaliate with than that. Russia is not holding back and haven't been since the start of the war. Ukraine will not be intimidated by Russian lies.Its a tricky situation for Zelensky. He expects the furious bear to lash back, against which he is frantically asking Trump for a bouquet of patriots.

But despite heavy losses in men and machines they still control less of Ukraine than in 2022. The Russian military is corrupt and incompetent.Last I looked it is the bear that has a piece of Ukraine
The US military presence in Europe of 90,000 forces provides Trump with "deal making" leverage that makes him float on air. USA armed forces in Europe are worth $30bn to local and state economies where they are stationed, namely 40,000 in Germany, Poland 15,000, Italy 13,000, the UK 10,000 and Spain 4,000.Trump will be more than happy to up and leave; it is actually the Europeans who insist Trump remain in the game. Even at this very moment Zelensky is hassling Trump for a bouquet of patriots.
