Because they are both weirdos who want to be seen as tough guys( bullies)! Zelensky is a man fighting to protect his nation against a psychopath! Ukraine has been putting up with Russia for decades and wants nothing to do with that country or government! Slava Ukraine….that is their right, not diaper donnys or putin!🍿

Because jes not stupid ffs. Russia has liberated territory bigger than all of Scotland and half of England so hes a realist. The whole world sees this for what it is the biggest proxy war ever fought. When mark milley said they would fall in 72 hours if we dont give them weapons thats the way it would of went but trillions in weapons got sent to stop that. A mean im skint right now struggling to pay my bills and my taxes are going to pay the monthly salaries and pensions for Ukraine. Nah fcuk that trump is the only one with balls to say it like it is. All the rest do it behind closed doors

Trump has never been closer to Russia but has been a party to Russian aggression. God is the judge, and may He decide.

The revocation of santions on Russia is tantamont to committing a war crime. Buying diesel from Russia and canceling SkyLink access proof that Trump is an active agent of the Russian apparatchik.

Apologies with the greatest respect it is much less complicated Trump is a Russian asset because Putin has leverage over him. This explains both his actions and dialogue.

@@ewamaydell1659Imported3wk ago
The mask has dropped. Trump is no longer pretending to be a leader of the most powerful country on Earth. The smell of oil wafted from Kremlin. Zelenski and his refusal to surrender 20% of the country to open the door to Trump and his acolites to get their hands on Lukoil. Mind you the 20% is not the price. It is a down-payment giving Puting time and means to restore, re-equip, re-armour to have another go at Ukraine. Putin’s goal is a complete Russian Empire and this is only possible with Ukraine being subsumed by Russia. This is Putin’s credo.

Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed on December 5, 1994: Under this framework, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation (along with later separate statements from France and China) provided assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its agreement to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NTP) and completely surrender the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal inherited from the Soviet Union. Under the memorandum, the U.S., UK, and Russia committed to:<br><br>1. Respect Ukraine's independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.<br><br>2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine's territorial integrity or political independence.<br><br>3. Seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to assist Ukraine if it should become a "victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used."<br><br>Vladimir Putin acted in direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum, undermining the very security assurances Russia pledged to uphold. More recently, Donald Trump's actions have further eroded America's role as a guarantor of Ukrainian sovereignty. By undermining sanctions enforcement, allowing the import of Russian diesel, and withholding vital defense aid designated for Ukraine, these policy decisions have severely compromised the security commitments originally established to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression and to preserve the existing rules-based international order.

It is with great dismay, although no surprise, that I hear that Donald Trumputin has finally said the quiet part aloud. “No I’m not a big fan of Zelensky. They’ve destroyed their country.” Trumputin continues to conflate the real aggressor with the victims of the attack. Facts never enter this Pez Dispenser Noggin. 😢

To answer your thumbnail question: because Trump is a genius and Zelensky is a crook. The sanctions have barely worked and Ukraine can NEVER win. Trump knows that and he’s doing what he can to end the war

As an US citizen, I fear that some people know what Putin will ultimately do to win. Win not just against Ukraine. If Putin does not attack the US but attacks others? What will Trump do. NATO and the world should not count on help from the US for the next few years. Expect our forces to start pulling out of NATO countries

I’m firmly on the right I think the left is cancer and I think western civilization is the best… Sorry.… But Trump is completely wrong and psychotic and possibly criminal in this action.
