Trump's deal for Ukraine, " Everything, almost all of the land." CBS

[Botany]

In rhetoric similar to claims Putin has used himself to justify his three-year war on Ukraine, Mr. Trump seemed to blame President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Russia's full-scale invasion after the Ukrainian leader took issue with being left out of initial conversations between the White House and Moscow, which began Tuesday in Saudi Arabia.

"I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it's going very well. Today I heard, 'Oh, well, we weren't invited.' Well, you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years — you should have never started it," Mr. Trump chided Zelenskyy. "You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land. Everything, almost all of the land. And no people would have been killed and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way."

Snip

Zelenskyy reacted Wednesday, saying Mr. Trump appeared to be operating in a "disinformation space" fostered by Russia.

2. 19 years ago I was thrown off

a local Magat web site because I called Trump a Putin puppet.

I was one of about 3 or 4 Democrats who tried to be truth tellers.

I also dropped my subscription to our local Magat newspaper. I would write letters to the editor, one of about 4 or 5 Democrats who did the same.

The editor of the newspaper publicly called me his "pinko commie friend."

4. And now A.G. Bondi says the D o J will not look @ foreign interference in our nation and the new ..

…. head of intelligence Tulsi, is a Russian asset.

3. No puppet! No puppet!

She laid it all out there and too many Americans still didn’t (and don’t) give a shit.

The world is catching on though. Good luck, America. Enjoy your best “friends” being countries that actually want to take you down.

5. Disgusting

Russia invaded and made a beeline to Kiev, it's only because of Biden's support and the bravery of Zelensky and his people that they were repelled. If not for Biden and Zelensky, there would be no Ukraine right now.

6. "Ukrainians will NEVER be Slaves"

Malcom Nance said there is a mural in Ukraine that has these words (in Cyrillic) under a picture of a Cossack.

Ukraine has been fighting a total war since this conflict began, they were the heart of the Partisan effort vs the Nazis in World War II, and I do not see them going out without a fight to the end.

7. I just read about 1 Ukrainian soldier

who managed to get close to Moscow and he rigged explosives and took out 2 of Russia's most sophisticated drone detectors that were protecting Moscow.

1 Ukrainian soldier did that. They will never surrender.

10. Trump thinks that most of us are stupider than he is

That's still a bridge too far for me. I believe there is close to a majority of Americans who don't give a damn about truth.

11. Zelensky refused to be blackmailed

Now TSF is taking revenge.

[Mblaze]

12. I think he would do the same for America.

"Take everything. Just leave me Trump Tower, Mar a Lago and one of my golf courses".

14. Trump is the Neville Chamberland of our time..

Or maybe Benedict Arnold would be more like it

[Botany]

16. Vance and Hog's Breath are Chamberlands

Trump is a sick and twisted man who is 100% owned by Putin who is the real Godfather of one
of the biggest organized criminal enterprises in history.

15. It's all about ending Ukraine and giving control of the resources to Musk.
