The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Zelenskyy did his due diligence. There is no point moving forward in an attempt to win over the king with no clothes.

It is sad and tragic for both countries but Ukraine will fair much better from breaking ties with the U.S. We are losing a battle tested ally with a populace that has the perseverance and intelligence to defeat a nemesis with greater numbers in people, equipment and treasure. Ukraine will win and survive and thrive. The United States will have to scramble and on bended knee ask for a second chance with the great ally we once had, Ukraine.

It's all about the money Trump thinks he'll make by being Putin's friend. What he doesn't understand is that Putin screws over everyone in his circle. Yes, he'll even do it to Trump and hand-over-his-heart Witkoff and Kushner. There in no honor amongst thieves.
