The Trump thread

[Retro]

A good compromise my ass. Zelensky's constantly prevented from defending his country properly by tying one hand behind his back by not giving himself the necessary weaponry to destroy Russia's war factories, like those Tomahawk missiles. Hence, this damned war just drags on and on and on as Russia just keeps on creating new weapons.

Heck, even Biden restrained him, fearing Putin's threats of nuclear war. This war would have been over in Ukraine's favour if America had simply had the balls to give Zelensky what he so badly needs to nail Russia.

I can see why he's saying it as he's in a desperate situation, but he knows it's a crock of shit and must be really angry inside that his hand is being forced by a supposed ally that's really operating under Putin's instructions.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced support for Donald Trump’s proposal for Ukraine and Russia to freeze the war at the current frontlines, calling it “a good compromise”, even as he acknowledged Moscow had made clear it would not accept the arrangement.

“I think that was a good compromise but I’m not sure that Putin will support it, and I said it to the president,” Zelenskyy said on a visit to Oslo, part of a tour of Scandinavia to seek additional military support.

The US president had earlier this week told reporters on Air Force One: “They can negotiate something later on down the line. But I said cut and stop at the battle line.” He was speaking shortly before a planned summit with Vladimir Putin was put on hold after Russia said its goal of seeking the whole of the eastern Donbas region, including areas held by Ukraine, had not changed.
