Prior to the press event with Trump, Zelinsky met with US senators from both sides.
Did he get some bad advice from those that wanted the peace deal to fail?
Zelinsky was seen wandering around for an hour after Trump ended the meeting..
Did he want to get a Mulligan?
The Obama/Biden world apology tour is over folks.

People need to know that the US has sent more money to aid Ukraine in it's war with Russia than all of the European countries combined......

Think about that.  Europe has more to lose because of this war, yet collectively, they sent less than the US in aid to Ukraine.

This is one of Trump's peeves against European countries and NATO.

Trump means it when he says America First.  Obviously past administrations had other things in mind (their pocket book(s)?) ::)

And Zelynskky said he doesn't know where half of it is.

The UK promised boots on the ground and aircraft if there is a ceasefire.  But nothing to get to that ceasefire besides money. Of course the fake news left that part out.  Need step 1 before step 2 can begin.

Before we got involed in WW1 and WW2, the UK was getting worked. I hope there's no WW3 and history repeats itself.

All Zelinskky had to do was show up and say thank you.  Word is that he  did have a meeting with democrat politicians prior to his meeting with Trump. I wonder if they influenced him to do what he did.

You know you messed up when you get knifehand by the VP.

When JD was saying "with all due respect", I was hoping for a Talidaga Nights type follow up.

Everyone is either ignoring or flat out not seeing the obvious.

Zelinsky was/is nothing but another puppet in a long line of stooges installed and utilized by the US empire most recently to facilitate his country being the spear of the US imperial proxy war against Russia.  Now that Trump is in power, Zelinsky obviously is confused on who he should be taking orders from.  On one side you have the Power Okole that is still in-charge of the US empire and all of its vassal states in Europe and Asia behind the scenes and then you have Trump who is doing everything he can to prevent the global war the Power Okole wants.

It is clear Trump wants the US imperial army to leave NATO so WWIII at least in Europe will not happen, but we also see that the rest of the US empire's vassal states are still supporting and flirting with even military intervention against Russia.  This back-and-forth game between the Power Okole and Trump is one for the ages and for everyone's sake should hope Trump wins.

The only fear I have now is that the Power Okole will grow tired of Trump's interference with their plans for WWIII and eliminate him.

In the game of political chess, Trump shows he can play it well.  He is 10 steps ahead while others are still on step one.

There is no way Putin is going to tolerate Ukraine joining NATO.

Trumps idea of a minerals deal will put American companies and interests in a joint partnership to tap into the supposed mineral riches that Ukraine has.  It is a start where Ukraine can start re-building their devastated country and the US can benefit from the mineral riches to off-set the billions spent helping Ukraine.

Putin would be hard pressed if not stopped from entertaining the thought of trying to invade again, because now American people, companies, and assets are established essentially on or near the border with Russia.

There is the security that Ukraine needs while achieving a ceasefire, peace, and the end of the killings of so many soldiers and civilians on both sides.

Makes me wonder if the Europeans, the demorats, and the power elite with filthy money (in my opinion Zelinsky might be one of them) in their pockets don't want peace at all.

We should team up with Russia and go after China for infiltrating and corrupting our institutions.
Now that Europe cucked out and turned itself into an Islamic republic, Russia is the only remaining foundation of Western culture.
Plus they are pretty cool people to deal with in general as long as you don't try to invade them. 
Everyone I know who went to visit Russia loved it, vs China where they report constantly being on alert for rip-offs.

First of all, that line of suicidal reasoning so happens to align perfectly to what the Power Okole, the neocons, and imperialists want, not to mention bring forth the global financial/economic collapse of not BRICS but the US imperial "rules-based-order".

Second, do you really think the Russian Federation would ever by willing to forgive the spilling of Russian blood as a result of the geopolitical goals of the US empire?  Russia is a founding as well as one of the most powerful members of BRICS.  Do you think Russia would give up its relations with China and the rest of BRICS just to become one of the vassal states of the declining US empire?

BRICS is the future; all of its current and future members from all over the free-World knows it.  Moreover, Putin, Xi, and the rest of the free multipolar World knows that once Trump leaves office, its Power Okole business back to normal.

On snap. What if their plan was to take over other countries via religion? Think about it. Thousands of muslims came into Europe no questions asked (illegally). Then when people do speak out about it, they get arrested, like reporter Tommy Robinson. These invaders set up shop so big that there are "no-go" zones in various countries. Areas where muslims took over and the police dare not enter, even fire or ambulances. German politicians even denied this and called people crazy, only a few years later to admit there are no go zones, but we wont tell u where they are.

All u have to do is bribe the goverment officals at the top and they protect the invaders.  They can control the flow of info and arrest anyone who speaks up.

Recently, the Irish have had enough. Their citizens are now patrolling the streets, to keep it safe for women and children.

How to conquer a population. Control the flow of info, change the religion, change the language. Look what happened to the Hawaiians. I was actually taught the Hawaiian part in high school.

They tried this in China, and China jailed the Muslims.  They do the same with any new religion into their country.  Falun Gong is another example. China is the extreme, but they see the writing on the wall.

The only country to admit that they messed up was Greece. At the time, Trump was warning Europe and people called him a xenophobe. Only for him to be correct years later.

They are trying to do that here too. Look how Barry let in thousands of Somali's and what happened years later, a Somali born won a seat in DC.  But unlike the other countries, the US has the Bill of Rights.  Saw a vid a few years ago about the Mall of America and how most of it's customers walking around were of Somali decent.

So in the US, Islam is protected to be practiced (1A).  But people coming here illegally is another story.

For you to even offer this notion is insulting to everyone's intelligence and something even the neocons and imperialists would dare not say.

I know the Trump administration made it clear that it wants to destroy BRICS and will try to persuade Russia in becoming one of its vassal states.  But Zelinsky is the one addicted to crack and cocaine not Putin.  Hence, this let's-be-friends gambit is not fooling anybody in Russia, China, or the other countries in the free World for that matter.

I suppose you buy into the "master negotiator" theory then? Trump acts tough on Ukraine and nice to Putin just to get Putin willing to talk? Zelinsky is a dictator who started the war but Putin abducts Ukrainian children and bombs civilian targets and he is a great guy.

Funny how Obama got eviscerated for bowing to an Arab leader but Trump gives a figurative hand-job to Putin and that is ok because it is his master negotiation skills at work. I never believed the story about Trump being on Putin's side but his actions recently have made me second guess that. Trump literally repeats Russian talking points about the war

I haven't followed Barry too much, so IDK what arab leader you're referring to.  I"m going to assume he met with many arab leaders in his 8 year term.

I have seen some post that Zelinskky is ready to sign a deal as of 2 days ago.  It involves giving up some of Ukraine, which he would have lost anyways if he were to join NATO.  Not being a member of NATO, and shared revenue from minerals.  IDK how true this is.

And FYI, it's not "master negotiator", it's referred to as "art of the deal".

Regarding Obama's bow, Obama was meeting with some Saudi leader and he bowed. It was a big news story and it was discussed here in the context that it was inappropriate for a US leader to bow to another leader and was terrible.

Ultimately we will have to wait and see what the final deal is. Maybe Trump can work something respectable for Ukraine, maybe he can't, just have to wait and see.

I think there's nothing wrong with a bow or showing respect to a foreign leader.  I'm sure many POTUS bowed to the Japan PM or like leader.

So far, everything the fake news made a big story about, ended up working out well.  So if I go by their track record, then a deal will be reached that leads to peace.  It's called giving the benefit of the doubt due to the fake news stories.

The problem with that bow is that Obama was educated into Islam while very young and living in Jakarta, Indonesia.  He's made statements to the effect that he knows no sweeter sound than that of the call to morning prayer.  He's made other statements such as how he was uniquely qualified to bring peace between the US and Middle East because of his Muslim faith and education.

Yet he continued to profess he is a Christian.

With that much uncertainty surrounding his religious beliefs, it's not good optics to be bowing to any Muslim country's leaders -- not when he's representing the most powerful nation since at least WWI.  His actions are one factor in why his visit to the Middle East was labeled an Apology Tour.

According to the ceasefire agreement, the US empire would resume military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine to obviously continue the fighting at a later date.  With Russia clearly winning all over Ukraine right now, why would they accept a ceasefire just for the promised military aid from the US empire make its way to the frontlines of battle unhindered?

So, in your mind, European leaders are just a tariff or NATO past-due bill away from severing ties with the US?  And then what?  Join Russia?  Try to replace the support the US supplies on their own?

You should read the little story of how taxes work, and how everyone suffers when the guy who has the most money is demonized.

The 10th man in the story (the richest) would be the US.  The other 9 would be NATO allies.

No, I don't see Europe joining an alliance with Russia.  What I do see is a Europe finally breaking free of their vassal state status and exercising their respective nation's sovereignty.  In doing so, I potentially see many European nations joining China's ever-growing Belt and Road Initiative and/or even joining BRICS to get what their citizenry needs: gas from Russia and commodities from China without worrying what the US empire says.

Why must you feel the need to add "acting tough"?  Your post here really adds nothing to the convo but you looking like a fool.  For every negotiation, each person must act in the way that gives it the best chance for success.  I remember when the fake news made it a big deal about N.Korea and how Trump said "his button is bigger and it works".  Shortly later, KJU is shaking hands and a cease fire with S. Korea happened.  There was even meetings of regular N and S soliders.

What ever Trump did with Zelkins and JD as well, worked out cause he came back.  IDK why you're now adding in "integrity" to the question as that was never an issue.  We call this goal post moving cause you know that what Trump did worked and won't admit it like usual.

IDK what it will take for Putin to come to the bargaining table, but I have trust in The Art of the Deal. You should too.

Putin wants to discuss some issues, but didn't specify.  In the mean time, Zelinskky is poking the bear with his lack of diplomacy,

"Putin “is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war, that he wants to kill Ukrainians,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly address to the nation. “That is why, in Moscow, they are surrounding the idea of a ceasefire with such preconditions that nothing will come of it — or at least, it will be delayed as long as possible.”"

This is the 2nd time that Zelinkky couldn't keep his mouth shut recently.  This is what happens when an actor is elected who has weak leadership.


Update: Russia stated that they want long term peace.  But nothing released on what they want in order to maintain that.

i think Putin wanted protections for Russian-speaking people in Ukraine.

so the Ukrainian Parliament is trying to pass a law to make it illegal to speak Russian in Ukraine.

I think Putin wants a guarantee that he'll have direct land access to Crimea.  That's a very important strategic military and economic objective I'd think.

It's not peace its surrender.   He witnessed this many times Russia just uses it to recalibrate and invade again.

Until Russia decides to break the peace agreement, it's peace.  Surrendering would imply that Russia would have control of Ukraine.

You need to also be aware that the UK only promised troops and aircraft when peace is reached.  So there's those additional forces to help prevent Russia from invading again. And until peace is reached, the UK won't do those things.

Putin made clear on numerous occasions that any military forces that come from the US empire or NATO are not acceptable and may be subject to being destroyed if stationed in Ukraine.

He may have said that in the past, but this is now. I mean, the media didn't disclose what part of the peace deal he didn't like.  So that could be 1 part of it.

If you subscribe to the mainstream democrat or republican leaning media, that may be well what they are sharing.

However, if you review the foreign media not aligned with the US empire or even the domestic independent media, you may get a far more accurate assessment to what is the Russian position to any ceasefire or peace deals regarding the US imperial proxy war against Russia.

We should wait to hear from Putin himself after his meeting with Trump tomorrow.

However, there are many non-US and domestic sources that essentially share the same thing.  Below is Judge Napolitano's recent meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov which is one such source.

Duh.

And again, you failed to deny the accusation.  So whether or not you "referred to yourself as being," it's normal to respond to someone when they accuse you of being something you aren't.

The lack of denial is deafening.

Also, how is Judge Napolitano considered a non-US source?  I specifically asked for your non-US sources.

Why must you feel the need to add "acting tough"? 

Because Trump likes to act tough. I figured that was obvious.

Your post here really adds nothing to the convo but you looking like a fool.  For every negotiation, each person must act in the way that gives it the best chance for success.  I remember when the fake news made it a big deal about N.Korea and how Trump said "his button is bigger and it works".  Shortly later, KJU is shaking hands and a cease fire with S. Korea happened.  There was even meetings of regular N and S soliders.

I forgot how much you believe in Trump's master negotiator status BS. But maybe you are right, every negotiation the person must act in a way that gives the best chance for success. We will see if Trump's coddling of Putin's balls was what it really took.

What ever Trump did with Zelkins and JD as well, worked out cause he came back.  IDK why you're now adding in "integrity" to the question as that was never an issue.  We call this goal post moving cause you know that what Trump did worked and won't admit it like usual.

So you don't care about integrity in a president. Gotcha.

U forgot what I posed about "integrity" and then further made yourself look foolish again by using "gotcha".

This is what happens when you move goal post and refuse to admit when wrong when presented with facts, you forget things.  You should know better, when interviewing or interrogating someone, a lie is hard to rememeber. Same same.

BTW, it did workout because both are talking about peace. So "gotcha".

Fulfilling what role? Making the USA look bad? Praising a dictator and blaming the start of the war on the country that was invaded?

Based on your definition above, you are 100% against using lethal force to defend yourself against a lethal threat.

in principle, if killing someone is wrong, how can you justify killing someone you merely believe is a threat?  Maybe they only shot you because they saw you as a threat when you tried to defend yourself?

I never said killing someone is wrong.

You are trying to justify Trump's actions by pointing to bad things the Democrats have done. That doesn't make what Trump does ok.
