In reply to the discussion: Zelenskyy Is Going To Retake Crimea Without A Land Invasion [View all]sheshe2
(99,045 posts)9. I wish we had a President like Zelenskyy.
An intelligent man that has gone to great lengths to defend and protect his all people. He has actually had boots on the ground, not cowering in fear beneath a golden ballroom.
He is a brilliant tactician along with those advising him. No one ever thought things would end this way. They are indeed the mouse that roared.
Slava Ukraini may you soon be in a place that you can rebuild yor beautiful country.
You are all your sunflower such a powerful symbol of Ukrainian national identity, representing peace, resilience, unity, and hope.

No, not anymore. Which is probably why Trump is abandoning them, but there was talk of him wanting a Trump Tower in

If there was a Trump Tower in Moscow I bet it would have already been hit by a drone. Or just blown up from it's base

Any reports of Russian troops leaving Crimea? Once the civilians are gone any troops will be sitting ducks
