Yes! He was on CNN a few moments ago when I went to look – he was about to cry so I changed the channel, don’t wanna rust out the tv that we bought in 2016!
I am watching -Live From Studio 6B, (lfs6b) and these guys said (that someone said), when Zelenskyy loses Senator Lindsay Graham’s support, Z is in trouble.
Rick said, “that’s pretty bad ’cause Lindsey wears Ukraine blue and yellow undershorts.”
I would have guessed that the only people who buy those are the females who wear the britches of the house, for their husband pets…but after considering your call out of congressional critters have changed my mind.
There is always a problem of letting Putin have all of Ukraine if he acquires the four provinces above Crimea along the coast of Ukraine.
Remember the Sudetenland? Hitler was granted the Provence in Czechoslovakia. Eventually, he took all of Europe.
Half way decent detente with Russia is a zillion times better than Russia all in with China. The globullists want the world to be like China. Pushing Russia towards China is their ultimate wet dream. In all reality, the 3 powers of the world are US, Russia, and China. Noone should want Russia and China to join forces all the way. All is lost if that happens.
Russia is mostly European as a culture anyway. We should see that as advantage. They may not want to team with China, but they will if they have to.
“They may not want to team with China, but they will if they have to.”
They have formed quite a strong bond with China already.
“The globullists want the world to be like China.”
What an odd thing to say. There is no factual basis for assuming either Russia or China have designs on world rulership. There is much to counter that assertion.
China has maneuvered itself to be exempt from climate change
China has decades ago invaded our universities to plumb info from them
china has been buying up scads of our land and also notable pieces by military bases
CHina pretty much OWNS our Big Pharma (See book “China RX” )through all the minerals we buy from there (the reason that Ukraine’s minerals would have been a huge move away from China’s ransom of us )
China has taken over Hong Kong and now is making noise toward Taiwan and Australia.
China has inserted invasive technology into all our technology manufactured there.
“Noone should want Russia and China to join forces all the way. All is lost if that happens.”
That already has happened. Ever hear of BRICS? WE are fighting both Russia and China now.
Russia is handling the Kinetic side (War). China the economic side of the battles. They are both united against us.
Russia and China are allies. Along with their alliance with Iran and North Korea they make formidable foes.
But China has a huge economic and demographic problem and Trump may well force the UN to put a spotlight on the Uighur/Falun Gong internment/organ harvesting camps.
Did Sudetenland use artillery to target, kill and bomb certain descent of people?
Did Sudetenland ban German books and ban political opposition.
Did Sudetenland ban German from being spoken?
Did Sudetenland ban the Catholic church?
Did Sudetenland worship Bandera and the Nazi ideology?
No?
Well then there is not really an exact comparison is there.
The population of these 4 oblasts declared in a referendum they wanted to be self governing (after they were continuously shelled and killed by Ukrainians)
A referendum that was monitored by international (European even!) supervisors and results found to be fair and straight.
People have the right of self determination according to UN charter
After which they made a request to be annexed into Russian federation
Up until 1954 those 4 oblasts belonged to Russia until they were given to Ukraine
Approx 90% of the people in those 4 oblasts are Russian or of direct Russian descent.
Up until the point where Ukraine started bombing native Russians and the above.
Your statement of Putin wants all of Europe I would like to see you post a quote where Putin has directly said that. Objectively, if you look at the state of Europe today, why would anyone want to conquer it? It is not leading in technology, wealth and has very few resources. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take it.
“Objectively, if you look at the state of Europe today, why would anyone want to conquer it? It is not leading in technology, wealth and has very few resources. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take it.”
Precisely.
The ONLY good thing if Putin takes Europe is that he will deal very severely with the ILLEGAL MUSLIM INVADERS who kill people in Europe daily.
AND IMO-thats a good thing
Since the 1930s, through all the various wine famines and plagues, there has been a regular interchange of vine cuttings between France, America, Australia, Chile, Italy and Spain.
Any country now has transplants capable of duplicating wine and cheese production.
You will see vintners and ‘noses’ training in exchange programs annually and most of these countries have regions where favored wines can be grown
With Ukraine a landlocked Rump State, with Russia holding Odessa and protecting its Russophilic people from the revenge of the UkroNazis, with Ukraine neighbors all returned to them territories lost not all that long ago to the most artificially constructed “nation” in Europe, then Ukraine cannot make trouble, or Derps cannot use sea access to stir up trouble or employ Azov for instigations elsewhere, and will be much smaller and easier to deNazify and pacify and maintain in that state.
To the River!
Deny the Sea!
Novorossiya will be Free!
What I have never been able to figure out is why so many in Congress can support Ukraine when there are actual, real-life, honest-to-goodness Nazis there.
You know, the Nazis that the left always accuse us of being.
I realized early on in this “war” that, if the MSM, Dems and Rinos all support it, it must be wrong.
It made me sick to see the US Congress flying a Ukie flag in session.
Know what that tells me? That those members who stood in support of Z in The People’s House are Nazis too.
The same people who made us wear masks and get shots.
Tends to make me think that Ukraine, which seems to be rather efficient at blackmail, has something on them. If you recall, it was Ukraine who did the dirt digging during the 2015, 2016 run by President Trump. The kept the democrats well fed with made up stuff regarding President Trump and family.
You compare VVP to Adolf ????we hear diatribe of Z today….did you ever hear speeches of him vvp ..before SMO or even better after neocons took over ukraine in the FEB.2014…..
Zelensky really HAS been a dictator to the Russian Ukrainians and to Christians.
Additionally, part of the reason for the money given to him was in return for silence for deep state financing of trafficking and of laboratories in Ukraine like those in Wuhan and California
” deep state financing of trafficking and of laboratories in Ukraine like those in Wuhan and California” — this is the information I want. Who financed, who made $$ from it.

First, today was probably the first non pretending spectacle in at least 100 years, probably more.
The best thing that happened today with the meeting and Trump and Vance led him right into the trap was Zelensky to show his true self. Now, every US politician has to choose a side, with the US or with the disrespectful little imp. Lindsay Graham led the way that its ok. He knows if he took Zelensky side, his facade evaporates. He even told Zelensky, don’t take the bait. Trump is in a good mood.
He wanted so much to come out and say it was a good deal and Trump should support Ukraine. After the spectacle, he knew he couldn’t. All US military support ended today. Lindsay said so.
Ms Linda has probably taken more kickback cash from the Ukraine farce then most of the other DC scum. Nothing Ms Linda says means anything unless it’s misdirection to hide his own complicity.
Obviously, neither “Z” nor his handlers ever bothered to read any of Trump’s excellent books on “negotiation.” If they had, they would have studied and therefore anticipated what Trump and Vance, working together, very artfully did. They boxed him into a corner, pretended to be angry, and waited – not long! – for him to genuinely lose his temper. Once he did so, he began to clearly say exactly what he really thought … over and over again.
The final move, after hearing it for a final time, was to send him home without any lunch.
And the narcissistic little puke is still out there acting like he can finesse his way past the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal.
Zelensky actually appears to believe he can divide and conquer on this deal. He seems to think he can swing public opinion by feigning gratitude to the American people and thereby push President Trump into making the deal on his own terms.
Read these and tell me I’m wrong. (They’re short.)
He thinks he’s gonna play the underdog card and get away with murder.
He might fool the press and a lot of stupid Americans, but he won’t fool Donald Trump.
I hope President Trump eats his lunch and pops the sack. ~spit~
I’ve never been as proud of a POTUS as I am today. The Gipper was good in his time, but considering the mess we are in right now, President Trump is definitely the man for the task at hand, IMO.
God Bless the USA, and please let there be peace on Earth. Amen.
Thank you President Trump, VP JD, and all the others involved in trying to stop the killing and grifting.
Winning day!

Zelensky is like that the one social media twat who walks around pissing off other people because he has a big black bodyguard that will step in if the kid is about to get his ass kicked. Zelensky kept saying he wanted to know the US is on HIS side, despite Trump saying he is aligned with the US side. Putin would literally rip Zelensky despite all the “tough” talk from the joke President.

I would guess that current events will be a precipitator of a more unified Europe which falls in line with Bible prophecy of the latter days. It doesn’t really matter what man does, there is One who knows the end from the beginning. It seems obvious to me that Ukraine cannot be united when a third of the country wants to be Russian. Those of us with a “big, beautiful ocean” between us and them ought to take these things into account. “Blessed are the peacemakers” was spoken by the Prince of Peace. When the world goes crazy, we can seek the “peace that surpasses all understanding”. Instead of the worry that leads to WWIII and nuclear conflict, let us be seeking Divine wisdom and understanding.
Careful with that “Bible prophecy” business. It often has purely earthly origins. Reaching into Europe for your biblical prophecy gets closer to enchantment territory
That is only half true. Much of the prophecy is born out through succeeding generations. IT’s those that are trying to forecast the day and the time of the end who misguide.
“…Putin may top the enemies list of the Beltway establishment, but we should try to see the world from his point of view.
When Ronald Reagan met Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik in 1986, Putin was in his mid-30s, and the Soviet Empire stretched from the Elbe to the Bering Strait and from the Arctic to Afghanistan.
Russians were all over Africa and had penetrated the Caribbean and Central America. The Soviet Union was a global superpower that had attained strategic parity with the United States.
Now consider how the world has changed for Putin, and Russia. By the time he turned 40, the Red Army had begun its Napoleonic retreat from Europe and his country had splintered into 15 nations.
By the time he came to power, the USSR had lost one-third of its territory and half its population. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were gone.
The Black Sea, once a Soviet lake, now had on its north shore a pro-Western Ukraine, on its eastern shore a hostile Georgia, and on its western shore two former Warsaw Pact allies, Bulgaria and Romania, being taken into NATO.
For Russian warships in Leningrad, the trip out to the Atlantic now meant cruising past the coastline of eight NATO nations: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Great Britain.
Putin has seen NATO, despite solemn U.S. assurances given to Gorbachev, incorporate all of Eastern Europe that Russia had vacated, and three former republics of the USSR itself. He now hears a clamor from American hawks to bring three more former Soviet republics — Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine — into a NATO alliance directed against Russia.
After persuading Kiev to join a Moscow-led economic union, Putin saw Ukraine’s pro-Russian government overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup. He has seen U.S.-funded “color-coded” revolutions try to dump over friendly regimes all across his “near abroad.”
“Russia has not accepted the hand of partnership,” says NATO commander, Gen. Philip Breedlove, “but has chosen a path of belligerence.”
But why should Putin see NATO’s inexorable eastward march as an extended “hand of partnership”? …
We are reaping the understandable rage and resentment of the Russian people over how we exploited Moscow’s retreat from empire.
Did we not ourselves slap aside the hand of Russian friendship, when proffered, when we chose to embrace our “unipolar moment,” to play the “great game” of empire and seek “benevolent global hegemony”?
If there is a second Cold War, did Russia really start it?” …….
“Tommy Robinson is sitting in solitary confinement as I write. He is there for 18 months because he aired a documentary.
Let that sink in. Whatever you think of Robinson–I think he is a brave truth-teller, others think he is a rabble rouser–the sentence is cruel and unusual.
Pedophiles and child rapists, on the other hand, are getting off very lightly or not punished at all in the UK.
At some point you have to acknowledge that the nonpunishment of a crime is de facto legalization, and Britons who are pedos are not getting punished.
This is all part of the two-tier justice system in Great Britain, and a particularly troubling one because it normalizes the sexualization of children.”
I don’t want to be allies with a nation of pedophiles.” …….
President Trump has recently mentioned Cuba, Canada, Greenland and Panama. Why? Because of the Chinese Encirclement.
That’s exactly how President Putin feels and I don’t blame him, especially when the Deep State was targeting him for overthrowal.
Our President wants to save Ukrainian AND Russian lives. And that is exactly right, because the Monsters who provoked this war (who are the same ones who overthrew him in 2020) want to kill BOTH Ukrainians and Russians, despite their pretense of caring.
“…because the Monsters who provoked this war (who are the same ones who overthrew him in 2020) want to kill BOTH Ukrainians and Russians, despite their pretense of caring.”
I think it’s also worth saying that there are a whole lot of Americans they’d like to kill, too.
So Trump made his point, no peace, no USA. I 100% support that. Let’s hope he can make sure no additional US money or assets make it out the gate.
If these Euro-socialist pussies want to fight with Russia, let them fund it with their funny-money and their sons and daughters. I’m betting they won’t.
Now let’s get back to fixing our country……… the work is large and the time is small.
The leaders of Germany and Britain are not loyal to their nations, they are globalists who had the wet dream like Hildebeast, Klaus, Soros, Gates et al. of no borders just their personal fiefdoms .
They are desperate for us to pay for and prosecute THEIR bankers war.

This was a meeting presented live on television and the internet. … A person would assume, any agreement between Ukraine (Zelensky) and the USA (Trump) was known >prior to the public meeting at the White House. … Was the ‘wish’ for a continual war with Russia by Zelensky a ‘change’ to any prior agreement, he made with Trump?
Donald Trump is the Master at public appearances and working the ‘Art of the Deal. … +Donald Trump has been the most honest and forthright President in my lifetime, at least about things that are politically important to America.
I believe, Volodymyr Zelensky should >now author is own book. … >How to Weasel Out of a Deal< and continue an endless war for financial gain. I’ve read here on TheConservativeTreehouse and elsewhere, that there are many crooked Ukrainians now living ‘large’ outside of Ukraine. They have been enriched by siphoning off American aid money for their own personal gain. +Many of our own American politicians may be benefiting greatly by the siphoning off money meant for the war in Ukraine.
+A willingness to fight a Just War should include an examination if the ‘War’ is actually capable of being won, and that no greater evil occurs because of the war. … Needless to say, Russia clearly is willing to continue this war, and Russia (Putin) has said, he is willing to use nuclear weapons to prevent losing the war.
…….. Rather than appear to be a spineless wimp afraid to fight a Just War, there should be repeatedly more >public political statements made about the expansion of the NATO countries towards the Russian border. … The ‘contested’ areas of Eastern Ukraine and the Crimean areas are populated by Ethnic Russians, that would like to be part of Russia. … & There’s a prior history of Ukraine that is not often publicly discussed. (TheConservativeTreehouse has provided an excellent history of Ukraine during the course of the war.)
Is this truly a ‘Just War’ for America or anyone else?
+Many of our own American politicians may be (ARE) benefiting greatly by the siphoning of money meant for the war in Ukraine.

The easiest way to get the United States of Ukraine vs Russia war finished, is to disengage the USA, and have Zelensky replaced.
Trump created the disengagement. Zelensky now has to battle politicians at home whilst begging the recalcitrant EU & CIA for help.
So Nueland, Rice, Blinkin and Vindamin apparently coached Z before today’s meeting. What exactly does Z want – and what did they expect him to ask for?
Z showed up in bad faith – apparently had no intention of signing a mineral deal. He totally sandbagged Rubio and frankly Trump also. Z talking about the past and how Russia is so bad shouldn’t even have been brought up when you’re loosing the battle and someone is throwing you a lifeline. Sounds to me like the traitors who coached Z gave him false hope that we’d commit more $ and possibly troops to solved his problem for him. A terrible mistake.
Poor Z. He sits in all these rooms listening to seething globalists in a spittle-flecked rage over Trump/Vance, but he’s too dumb to realize he must not in any circumstance channel those moonbats’ rage into a real world discussion, as it exposes him as a tool.
All this propaganda can work for a while, until it doesn’t. We’re there.
I’d seen references to this off and on all day, but no actual documentation.
I guess I was hoping against hope it wasn’t true.
Sadly, this seems to eliminate all doubt.
I know there are a lot of folks who reject infowars and gateway pundit as legitimate sources, but their reporting is very often right. And if this is factual it will be picked up by other outlets and become big news.
How shameful of zelensky. I hope the Ukrainian parliament does impeach him and remove him from office. The sooner the better. He’s a disgrace.
I was watching it live on internet. I saw it, and saw the way z git more and more belligerent towards President Trump. The VP was on the edge of his seat as if he were ready 5o jump up and protect the President if it became necessary.
Yes, I saw the same thing and was left with the same impression.
I had told husband on Thursday I sincerely hoped they’d search Zelensky and wand him before allowing him into the White House on Friday. My instincts seem well founded.
He’s continued with his passive-aggressive attack and delusional manipulations non stop since being tossed out of the meeting, where he came off like a typical druggie from stem to stern. He behaves just like a junkie.
He should never be allowed near the President or VP again. Ever.
Let him come in the downstairs service entrance if he’s going to be allowed to sign anything. It’s the same ramp used to collect the garbage obama made the dali lama use, remember?
I doubt President Trump’s trigger was juvenile name calling. He is a far bigger and better negotiator than that. NY Real Estate, anyone?
Pretty sure both have been called worse to their faces, in plain English no less, without losing their shit. 😐
More likely is the fact that 1: There was an agreement to sign the minerals deal from last week.
2: Zelensky began reneging immediately in front of the cameras, after he was 20 minutes late for the meeting with President Trump. Zelensky was with the Senate Kickback Caucus being told they had more power than President Trump.
3: Zelensky demanded more from America after showing his complete disrespect for what USA taxpayers have already provided him, would not shut up when President Trump was talking, then finished it off with a thinly veiled threat of how our big beautiful Atlantic Ocean may not afford us protection.

A few people here today commented on Secretary Rubio’s facial expression in the Oval Office. He seemed somewhat somber. I also wondered about his thoughts, while at the same time I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the job he’s doing.

Azov Battalion
Tornado Battalion
The Azov Battalion, now known as the Azov Brigade, is a controversial Ukrainian military unit formed in 2014, originally as a volunteer militia to fight against pro-Russian separatists. It has been criticized for its far-right connections and alleged neo-Nazi ties, although it has since been integrated into Ukraine’s National Guard and claims to have distanced itself from those origins.
“Tornado” Company is a company of the Special Tasks Patrol Police of Ukraine. It is widely known for a criminal case opened in connection with numerous serious crimes committed by personnel of the Ukrainian volunteer battalion Tornado during the War in Donbas
The Tornado Battalion was a Ukrainian volunteer unit formed in 2014, known for its involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War. It was disbanded in 2015 due to serious criminal allegations against its members, including kidnapping and assault.

Marco Rubio halted funds to restore Ukraine’d power grid. The EU went nuts. Tell me: What does the power grid look like in western North Carolina or in Lāhainā, HI which burned to the ground more than 2-years ago but still looks like it happened last weekend?
Presidents/PMs of Sweden, Germany, France and a host of other Eurotrash leaders all tweeted their unconditional support for their hero Zelensky today. Let those morons rebuild Ukraine’s power grid.
If they want coke-boy to have a power grid, let THEM pay for it. We do not want this war to continue, and our tax dollars should not be extorted to do so.

A few days ago, Ukraine told the Secretary of State Rubio they are ready to sign a deal. Today, Zelensky came and wanted more. What changed?
France happened. They opened a discussion with Ukraine for a deal for minerals. This is the card Zelensky thought he had. He figured he can up the ante because there are other countries that want the minerals.
So Macron and our own traitors (Nuland, Rice, Vindman, etc.) caused the blow up. This was an attempt to embarrass Trump. Maybe an excuse to impeach him, take him out.
It’s so nice to finally have President that loves mankind.

That old adage about “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is mostly a temporary, circumstantial alliance in politics. Not necessarily a long lasting mutually beneficial arrangement.
I would be cautious wherever China is involved. Even if indirectly.
Remember, on one hand the Brics group were seen as a positive counterforce to the globalists one world agenda.
But in that mix is the relationship between Russia and China. And the Brics group have long term plans extending beyond the Ukraine war.
Trump and Putin don’t exist in a vacuum. China is flying under the radar to some degree but are active worldwide on multiple fronts. Putin is looking out for his own interests too. And ties with China could take priority over his rapprochement with Trump. Especially within the larger worldwide Brics context.
And remember that communism has been the prevailing order for many decades in both countries. Even though things have shifted in Russia, the iron curtain can be revised and implemented in a new modern form on the whim of Putin or future leaders. And ties with China and the Brics could shift the global power dynamic.
I trust Trump as a savvy chess player, but he has to negotiate carefully and think beyond just the Ukraine. The Brics are a needed anti globalist entity, but democracy isn’t necessarily assured longer term guven the histories of those countries. And China is patiently preparing for what they want long term.

they never figured he would walk away.

Reality is we find ourselves in a military alliance (NATO) with “allies” all of whom are the equivalent politically of the Democrats circa 2020-2024 (save perhaps Italy and, for different reasons, Turkey). And, more importantly, despite being so-called “allies”, they are all increasingly openly hostile towards the U.S. now that it is led by President Trump. France. the UK. Germany. Denmark. Canada, the EU. Poland – all of them are working to undermine the MAGA movement and President Trump even though many feign otherwise (I’m looking at you Macron and Starmer).
It is plain to see why. Just like he was a threat to the Democrat Party rule in the U.S., so does any success he achieves sow the seeds and demand for MAGA-like change in their own countries.
The Globalists have miscalculated badly if they think both President Trump and President Putin don’t understand they share a common enemy and that they won’t cooperate to defeat them where it serves the vision they have for the strategic interests of their respective countries. Putin’s enemy isn’t only Zelenskyy, it is the globalists who drove the Maiden Revolution and who led to Zelenskyy subsequent election in the years that followed. Trump achieving a quick peace accord is a disaster for the Globalists simply because it will begin to make transparent their role in this fiasco. As a results stopping Trump from achieving peace has become their hill to die on. You can see it in all of their actions in response to today’s events.
So be it, this day was always going to arrive. I hope they enjoy eternity on the hill they have selected.
‘ I think there’s a great chance the US pulls out of NATO. ‘
If you subscribe to Prof. John Mearsheimer’s assertion, that the US/NATO push starting c.2008 to turn Ukraine into a NATO state bordering Russia, is what led to the current Ukraine war;
And if you believe that it is mainly the US that has pushed and enabled this war, drawing the EU in;
You may see a progression from 2008 onward, to yesterday’s contrived Oval Office theater, and where the US is evidently steering things now: In this view, it pushed events to war, exploited that as long as it was rewarding, and is now pivoting to one final exploit of Ukraine: Exiting NATO.
(Exploiting Ukraine’s natural resources e.g. minerals will be icing on the cake, if that happens. Which is likely, given that Ukraine is reportedly in shambles now.)
The contrived (livestreamed!) and likely scripted theater yesterday was obviously a set up to give Trump a reason to pull support from Ukraine and blame Z for it. “Z disrespected the US Presidency and the Oval Office”.
(While reinforcing the image of tough guy Trump (and wingman Vance), more akin to gangster bully ethos than diplomacy. Trump was formed working in NYC real estate development, NYC is reputed to be rife with organized crime, yesterday’s “meeting” fit the mold. The movie “The Godfather” is steeped in the importance of “respect” for the mafia organizations.)
In this view, Z will be retained long enough for the US to withdraw support to a point that Ukraine has to wave the white flag and Russia completes its Special Military Operation. The EU will appear to rally behind Ukraine, the US will withdraw from NATO, EU/NATO will be forced to back down, and then the continent will settle down in an uneasy peace for a time, with a weakened EU.
It’s important to frame this within the longer term geopolitical shift underway, of the weakening US Bloc and the strengthening BRICS+ Bloc. In this context, it appears likely that all of the Ukraine events were planned to support the coming end state of a diminished US Bloc and dominant BRICS+ Bloc headed by industrial/scientific juggernaut China.
It’s a safe bet that The Godfather is one of Trump’s favorite movies.
Being the Don of the US Executive branch is several levels above a mafia Don. The fulfillment of a lifelong ambition?
“Gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” seems to be the general approach of the Executive now.
Turned inward as well, to bring the Executive branch to heel under the new Don. Complete loyalty or purging, take your pick. With extra purging to ensure you know who’s boss.
(In the Godfather, releasing a subordinate would be accomplished by, or followed by, “neutralizing” them. In today’s abysmal economy, being fired from a government job by the purge will lead to a fate similar in principle for many. Those still employed will become 100% compliant. Mission accomplished.)
The machinations in play are very similar to The Godfather.
Stop facilitating our own collapse by paying our enemies to destroy us.

I don’t think Z can ever agree to peace. He does not comprehend common sense.
I think of him in the videos wearing high heels and tight pants and rhinestones , dancing like a mad transsexual deranged nut who cannot think logically , cannot engage rationally, driven by drugs and wild emotion.
Yes, The result of his mindset is a display which is disrespectful of USA , but it is derived from transexual madness, his obsessive vision of continuing to fight a non-winnable war by soaking American and European taxpayers to keep pursuing his madness.
My take is He isn’t deliberately disrespectful , he is just stark raving batshit crazy
Prior to the Zelensky meeting, Alexander Mercouris published his daily youtube podcast that pointed out that the staggered visit by Macron, then Starmer, then Zelensky was a devious plan to extract security guarantees for British/French troops on the ground in Ukraine after the Trump team had already made it clear there would be no US security guarantees for Ukraine.
Apparently, they were going to latch onto the slightest hint of support from Trump to back their presence in Ukraine, ie, backup for France/ Britain vs Ukraine.
Of course, Trump saw through their plan and gave Macron and Starmer absolutely nothing, humiliating Starmer in the process when he asked him if Britain could stand up to the Russians alone. (As a data point, the British military has more horses than tanks and appx 1 general per horse, maybe the generals are horses, I forget.)
When Zelensky showed up today they intentionally let him blow it all up very publicly. VP Vance intentionally provoked Zelensky at a crucial point and Zelensky blew a gasket.
The whole of Europe is now in shock because their media, like ours, has been reporting the visits by Macron/Starmer went amazingly well, their leaders performed brilliantly, and the US would soon be back to fully backing Europe/ Ukraine.
Those so-and-sos were trying to suck the US into WW III with Russia, which would be the obvious outcome of any US military support for Ukraine. European leaders want the world in flames so that when everything settles (assuming its not all radioactive) they have a seat at the table of power. Now, instead, they are basically colonies of the US. And after, I doubt they ever come back with Trump.
There is only one thing I saw all day long more pathetic than this European treachery. And that was commentary by David Brooks and some other nobody on these events. Absolutely ignorant and despicable neocons who lied about and promoted this awful war that killed 1,000,000 Ukr men and boys. These people allied themselves with Europe to destroy the US. I think that makes them real life criminal traitors.

This is the gateway to Norfolk- home port of US Navy’s Fleet Forces Command, Ft Story US Army amphibious base, Newport News Shipyard, Joint Base Langley Air Force Base and Eustis Army Base along the James River, US Naval Weapons Station and Clowns in Action Camp Peary, Yorktown. Coast Guard Base up the York River, and the federal seat of power/ operations, Quantico USMarines Base, (Feebees, DEA) Ft Belvoir, up the Potomac River, then there is the US Naval Academy along the Severn River and Access to DelMarva peninsula-Wallops Island NASA flight facility.

Let’s talk about Zelensky’s Nazi overlords who control him in Ukraine. I imagine that Zelensky will not be in a rush to return to Ukraine.

The remarks by Susan Rice were telling. The Democrats did not want that agreement signed without Ukraine getting some kind of “security guarantee,” which would either be a US unilateral commitment of US troops as well as equipment and money, or NATO membership. Rice said there should be such a guarantee and Zelenskyy used the same terminology as Rice.
Zelenskyy is a puppet of the Democratic Party, and, as such, he talked to people like Rice before Zelenskyy:
Met with Scott Bessent in Kiev.
Met with J. D. Vance in Munich.
Arrived at the White House.
It doesn’t matter how much everyone else wants a CEASEFIRE. You know, “ceasefire” like the left demanded from Israel in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but somehow does not want in the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Zelenskyy is a Democratic National Committee puppet.
Even BIDEN didn’t give Zelenskyy a “security guarantee” in writing and would never do that AS LONG AS SUSAN RICE TOLD BIDEN HE SHOULDN’T. The war must go on because they think the US is in the same economic position as when the US armed the jihadis in Afghanistan to defeat and bankrupt Russia. We are not in that kind of economic shape.
It’s not one subset of the Uniparty. It’s the entire Uniparty. After the 2022 election, McConnell made clear that Ukraine was his #1 priority. Screw everything else.
Forget your little R’s and D’s. We’re long past that here. Are you with the enemy or are you with us?

I hope Sundance can raise an important issue about the Ukraine/Russia war:
How much has USAID contributed to pour gas on the flames of war?

Judging by Zelensky’s “disrespect” turning world events:
Melania must be one of the few American wives who does not habitually disrespect her husband.
Ephesians 5:33
Maybe Trump’s influence will also help to restore the American family, by influencing a return to a more Biblical model of marriage.

I don’t understand Zelenskyy’s “thinking.”
P Trump offers him a credible and honorable 1st step way to peace but the Ukrainian President refuses to accept the proposal because it doesn’t guarantee it won’t stop Putin from attacking. So he continues to argue with the President and VP that Putin will break any ceasefire and other peace initiative.
So he scuttles the 1st step to peace and will now return to Ukraine to deal with a still active unrestrained Russian military threatening his people. Where is the logic. Pursuing Trump’s road to peace gave them a chance to peace but Zelenskky’s seems to prefer continuing the war with his tough talking EU allies that have no chance or interest in making peace.
Where are the former references to the Nazi Azov battalion that was allegedly aggravating and even harming Soviet’s inside Russia before the Putin invasion occurred. It was allegedly part of the reason why Putin initially attacked Ukraine as well as the calls for NATO membership.
Because Z is more scared of the Azov Nazis than he is
the Russians perhaps?
The Azov Nazis do exist, you know.

I detest Z and his corruption and his country’s corruption.
Wonderful he was sent packing, empty handed.
However, I believe this was all done for the world to see to calm the seas and save face for Bondi and Patel. They have shown themselves to be incompetent players on this team.
Trump has WON at every turn, UNTIL…..girl Bondi and Patel enter the stage.
Abject failure at every turn and an embarrassment.
MUST be handled quickly or their really quick sinking confidence level will burn down.
Unsure they can recover.
NEVER promise what you CAN’T deliver OR have no intent of delivering. Bondi has looked like a bimbo the last few days.
I’ve lost ALL confidence in either.
EVERY other agency MOVING RIGHT ALONG, focus and intentional.
I am not so sure that the Bondi/Patel thing wasn’t staged. Didn’t Starmer go back to Britian with the thought of “what else do they know about Epstein? that he was MI6?”
I do believe that the Ukraine conference in the Senate told Zman that they were in charge, not Trump, after all Klobacher’s friend Maria Yovanovitch(spelling – our former Amb to Ukraine) was in the meeting. Add that to a probable phone call or zoom with Susan Rice and Sam Power, Zman was totally thinking he could control the meeting.

For all you Treepers who were sketch on Vance; that display at the WH was epic/ and if that doesn’t do it for you, nothing will. Vance just secured his nomination with his equal show of force to Zelensky, running mate TBD.
The only thing that would rehabilitate Vance is if he publicly renounced Thiel and admitted that the $15M Thiel handed him deprived Ohio citizens of their Constitutionally guaranteed right to republican government as expressed by a legitimate US Senator chosen by those citizens and not an amoral tech oligarch.
The Boss set up this Z hit. Vance has zero career accomplishments, other than running his mouth, mouthing what he’s paid to mouth.
Yes, his mouthrunning is gathering quite a cult now. So did Obama’s. He never did anything in his life either.
Has anyone seen anything from Lt. Col Tubby Vindman yet? Or his equally loathsome wife?
I expect it will be some screeching about the “foreign policy consensus”!
Tweedle Dumb and
Tweedle Dumber.

Nice one Lorrie! Hahaha. Praise GOD!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
MSDNC had Vindman and Bolton on talking about the meeting LOL
Hope he was one who no longer had any need for Security clearance.
Yes he is yapping on X.
Yes! He was on CNN a few moments ago when I went to look – he was about to cry so I changed the channel, don’t wanna rust out the tv that we bought in 2016!
Hahaha!
I hear he has a twin too.
I am watching -Live From Studio 6B, (lfs6b) and these guys said (that someone said), when Zelenskyy loses Senator Lindsay Graham’s support, Z is in trouble.
Rick said, “that’s pretty bad ’cause Lindsey wears Ukraine blue and yellow undershorts.”
That was classic…
Those guys are a hoot
Monday- Friday.
A lot of nights,
I get the day’s news
from these good ole boys.
I make sure to watch one of the legacy national news shows everyday for 15 minutes to hear the latest fabrications
I laughed as I watched cBS tonight cause they have two dudes-I guess they’re the new Huntley and Brinkley!
I love those guys
Miss Lindsey is just trying to avoid sharing the flush that’s sending Z-Bag where he belongs.
He was entirely comfortable smuggled in there with Z-Bag until Orange Man Great reached for the toilet handle.
I believe they are panties.
I went to check out Amazon –
one example:
Amazon.com: Ukrainian Flag Men’S Underwear Breathable Stretch Boxer Briefs : Sports & Outdoors
I wonder how many guys in the House of Reps and Senate are wearing those – there were various brands, I just picked the first one in the line-up.
I would have guessed that the only people who buy those are the females who wear the britches of the house, for their husband pets…but after considering your call out of congressional critters have changed my mind.
Nasty feng-shui on those shorts.
Your reply made me think(which can be a really bad thing)
Does tha’ Z man wear cargo panties?
He wears the lace ones I’ve heard. Please be accurate SMR.
Ms Graham’s attire…
Lindsey is thinking he’s found some cover for all the money he’s taken.
.
Lindsey is (or should be) in trouble. Lucky him that our margin in the Senate is so thin. (So are a bunch of them — Cotton, Murray, Jeffries, Ruben…)

There is always a problem of letting Putin have all of Ukraine if he acquires the four provinces above Crimea along the coast of Ukraine.
Remember the Sudetenland? Hitler was granted the Provence in Czechoslovakia. Eventually, he took all of Europe.
Half way decent detente with Russia is a zillion times better than Russia all in with China. The globullists want the world to be like China. Pushing Russia towards China is their ultimate wet dream. In all reality, the 3 powers of the world are US, Russia, and China. Noone should want Russia and China to join forces all the way. All is lost if that happens.
Russia is mostly European as a culture anyway. We should see that as advantage. They may not want to team with China, but they will if they have to.
“They may not want to team with China, but they will if they have to.”
They have formed quite a strong bond with China already.
“The globullists want the world to be like China.”
What an odd thing to say. There is no factual basis for assuming either Russia or China have designs on world rulership. There is much to counter that assertion.
Whocanibenow, what an extremely odd thing to say
China has maneuvered itself to be exempt from climate change
China has decades ago invaded our universities to plumb info from them
china has been buying up scads of our land and also notable pieces by military bases
CHina pretty much OWNS our Big Pharma (See book “China RX” )through all the minerals we buy from there (the reason that Ukraine’s minerals would have been a huge move away from China’s ransom of us )
China has taken over Hong Kong and now is making noise toward Taiwan and Australia.
China has inserted invasive technology into all our technology manufactured there.
down vote
Wish we had a downvote arrow sometimes.
China and Russia have both made their expansionist plans obvious.
“Noone should want Russia and China to join forces all the way. All is lost if that happens.”
That already has happened. Ever hear of BRICS? WE are fighting both Russia and China now.
Russia is handling the Kinetic side (War). China the economic side of the battles. They are both united against us.
Russia and China are allies. Along with their alliance with Iran and North Korea they make formidable foes.
But China has a huge economic and demographic problem and Trump may well force the UN to put a spotlight on the Uighur/Falun Gong internment/organ harvesting camps.
I’m sure the President sees it that way too.
Did Sudetenland use artillery to target, kill and bomb certain descent of people?
Did Sudetenland ban German books and ban political opposition.
Did Sudetenland ban German from being spoken?
Did Sudetenland ban the Catholic church?
Did Sudetenland worship Bandera and the Nazi ideology?
No?
Well then there is not really an exact comparison is there.
The population of these 4 oblasts declared in a referendum they wanted to be self governing (after they were continuously shelled and killed by Ukrainians)
A referendum that was monitored by international (European even!) supervisors and results found to be fair and straight.
People have the right of self determination according to UN charter
After which they made a request to be annexed into Russian federation
Up until 1954 those 4 oblasts belonged to Russia until they were given to Ukraine
Approx 90% of the people in those 4 oblasts are Russian or of direct Russian descent.
Up until the point where Ukraine started bombing native Russians and the above.
Your statement of Putin wants all of Europe I would like to see you post a quote where Putin has directly said that. Objectively, if you look at the state of Europe today, why would anyone want to conquer it? It is not leading in technology, wealth and has very few resources. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take it.
“Objectively, if you look at the state of Europe today, why would anyone want to conquer it? It is not leading in technology, wealth and has very few resources. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take it.”
Precisely.
Precisely.
The ONLY good thing if Putin takes Europe is that he will deal very severely with the ILLEGAL MUSLIM INVADERS who kill people in Europe daily.
AND IMO-thats a good thing
He’ll also get rid of trans.
exacly.
didn’t see this before I posted.
Also with abortion and LGBT activism and trans nonsense
Or why should the US be obligated to protect it.
it is amazing how some ppl are sooo stupid…
Perzactly.
“It is not leading in technology, wealth and has very few resources. Why would anyone in their right mind want to take it”
Just someone real fond for wine and cheese. Not much else 😂
Since the 1930s, through all the various wine famines and plagues, there has been a regular interchange of vine cuttings between France, America, Australia, Chile, Italy and Spain.
Any country now has transplants capable of duplicating wine and cheese production.
You will see vintners and ‘noses’ training in exchange programs annually and most of these countries have regions where favored wines can be grown
Didn’t know that.
Actually, the only problem with Westrn europe, is its full of europeans, lol.
Actually, just as with the U.S. its the LEADERS that are all f’d up…
“Actually, just as with the U.S. its the LEADERS that are all f’d up…”
I just posted a possible answer for that over on the Open Thread this Caturday….
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/01/saturday-march-1st-open-thread/#comment-11605339
You know, we have entire States that provide both.
Great points
Ego. Putin’s is massive.
With Ukraine a landlocked Rump State, with Russia holding Odessa and protecting its Russophilic people from the revenge of the UkroNazis, with Ukraine neighbors all returned to them territories lost not all that long ago to the most artificially constructed “nation” in Europe, then Ukraine cannot make trouble, or Derps cannot use sea access to stir up trouble or employ Azov for instigations elsewhere, and will be much smaller and easier to deNazify and pacify and maintain in that state.
To the River!
Deny the Sea!
Novorossiya will be Free!
What I have never been able to figure out is why so many in Congress can support Ukraine when there are actual, real-life, honest-to-goodness Nazis there.
You know, the Nazis that the left always accuse us of being.
I realized early on in this “war” that, if the MSM, Dems and Rinos all support it, it must be wrong.
It made me sick to see the US Congress flying a Ukie flag in session.
Know what that tells me? That those members who stood in support of Z in The People’s House are Nazis too.
The same people who made us wear masks and get shots.
Tends to make me think that Ukraine, which seems to be rather efficient at blackmail, has something on them. If you recall, it was Ukraine who did the dirt digging during the 2015, 2016 run by President Trump. The kept the democrats well fed with made up stuff regarding President Trump and family.
Russia conquering Europe would be a far better outcome than the remains of the Ottoman Empire doing it, which is where Europe is headed.
Ha! Now that is an astute thing to say. The wannabe Sultan is definitely a wildcard.
Zelensky has the Nazis.
and the globalist traffickers and frankenscientists
“letting Putin”…
You compare VVP to Adolf ????we hear diatribe of Z today….did you ever hear speeches of him vvp ..before SMO or even better after neocons took over ukraine in the FEB.2014…..
Zelensky really HAS been a dictator to the Russian Ukrainians and to Christians.
Additionally, part of the reason for the money given to him was in return for silence for deep state financing of trafficking and of laboratories in Ukraine like those in Wuhan and California
” deep state financing of trafficking and of laboratories in Ukraine like those in Wuhan and California” — this is the information I want. Who financed, who made $$ from it.
Repeat after me:
“Putin is not Hitler.”
I don’t care.
At this point, Putin is welcome to all of Europe.
Give it a couple of years and he will demand that we take them back.
First, today was probably the first non pretending spectacle in at least 100 years, probably more.
The best thing that happened today with the meeting and Trump and Vance led him right into the trap was Zelensky to show his true self. Now, every US politician has to choose a side, with the US or with the disrespectful little imp. Lindsay Graham led the way that its ok. He knows if he took Zelensky side, his facade evaporates. He even told Zelensky, don’t take the bait. Trump is in a good mood.
He wanted so much to come out and say it was a good deal and Trump should support Ukraine. After the spectacle, he knew he couldn’t. All US military support ended today. Lindsay said so.
Ms Linda has probably taken more kickback cash from the Ukraine farce then most of the other DC scum. Nothing Ms Linda says means anything unless it’s misdirection to hide his own complicity.
was the meeting a couple weeks ago between z and lindsey,cornyn,ernst etc the final payment??thus lindsey can come out publicly and tell z resign.
And is Lindsay on the Epstein List?
Obviously, neither “Z” nor his handlers ever bothered to read any of Trump’s excellent books on “negotiation.” If they had, they would have studied and therefore anticipated what Trump and Vance, working together, very artfully did. They boxed him into a corner, pretended to be angry, and waited – not long! – for him to genuinely lose his temper. Once he did so, he began to clearly say exactly what he really thought … over and over again.
The final move, after hearing it for a final time, was to send him home without any lunch.
And the narcissistic little puke is still out there acting like he can finesse his way past the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal.
Zelensky actually appears to believe he can divide and conquer on this deal. He seems to think he can swing public opinion by feigning gratitude to the American people and thereby push President Trump into making the deal on his own terms.
Read these and tell me I’m wrong. (They’re short.)
He thinks he’s gonna play the underdog card and get away with murder.
He might fool the press and a lot of stupid Americans, but he won’t fool Donald Trump.
I hope President Trump eats his lunch and pops the sack. ~spit~

Graham sees which way the wind blows.
I’ve never been as proud of a POTUS as I am today. The Gipper was good in his time, but considering the mess we are in right now, President Trump is definitely the man for the task at hand, IMO.
God Bless the USA, and please let there be peace on Earth. Amen.
And please, for God’s sake, let’s never again give dems control! That is what’s gotten us into this mess to begin with.
I was going to post something similar.
This is what I voted for!
Better than I expected.
Thank you President Trump, VP JD, and all the others involved in trying to stop the killing and grifting.
Winning day!
Zelensky is like that the one social media twat who walks around pissing off other people because he has a big black bodyguard that will step in if the kid is about to get his ass kicked. Zelensky kept saying he wanted to know the US is on HIS side, despite Trump saying he is aligned with the US side. Putin would literally rip Zelensky despite all the “tough” talk from the joke President.
I love President Trump!!
Amazing off the cuff leadership!!!
Half of me kept hoping he’d smack the little turd just like that time he smacked old Vince McMahon. But I’m glad he didn’t.
I would guess that current events will be a precipitator of a more unified Europe which falls in line with Bible prophecy of the latter days. It doesn’t really matter what man does, there is One who knows the end from the beginning. It seems obvious to me that Ukraine cannot be united when a third of the country wants to be Russian. Those of us with a “big, beautiful ocean” between us and them ought to take these things into account. “Blessed are the peacemakers” was spoken by the Prince of Peace. When the world goes crazy, we can seek the “peace that surpasses all understanding”. Instead of the worry that leads to WWIII and nuclear conflict, let us be seeking Divine wisdom and understanding.
Careful with that “Bible prophecy” business. It often has purely earthly origins. Reaching into Europe for your biblical prophecy gets closer to enchantment territory
That is only half true. Much of the prophecy is born out through succeeding generations. IT’s those that are trying to forecast the day and the time of the end who misguide.
The day and time, yes, but also the who, how and where. That’s what marks it as earthly mysticism.
Europe is decaying into irrelavancy. No military power. No economic power. No cultural power. No spiritual power.

Perhaps we’re not meant to be in a partnership with a man who sold out his own people as Cannon Fodder.
President Trump today reminded me of President Reagan in Reykjavik, who walked away in strength rather than submit to a bad deal to please the Swamp.
(2016:) Why Russia Resents Us – Patrick J. Buchanan – Official Website
“…Putin may top the enemies list of the Beltway establishment, but we should try to see the world from his point of view.
When Ronald Reagan met Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik in 1986, Putin was in his mid-30s, and the Soviet Empire stretched from the Elbe to the Bering Strait and from the Arctic to Afghanistan.
Russians were all over Africa and had penetrated the Caribbean and Central America. The Soviet Union was a global superpower that had attained strategic parity with the United States.
Now consider how the world has changed for Putin, and Russia. By the time he turned 40, the Red Army had begun its Napoleonic retreat from Europe and his country had splintered into 15 nations.
By the time he came to power, the USSR had lost one-third of its territory and half its population. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were gone.
The Black Sea, once a Soviet lake, now had on its north shore a pro-Western Ukraine, on its eastern shore a hostile Georgia, and on its western shore two former Warsaw Pact allies, Bulgaria and Romania, being taken into NATO.
For Russian warships in Leningrad, the trip out to the Atlantic now meant cruising past the coastline of eight NATO nations: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Great Britain.
Putin has seen NATO, despite solemn U.S. assurances given to Gorbachev, incorporate all of Eastern Europe that Russia had vacated, and three former republics of the USSR itself. He now hears a clamor from American hawks to bring three more former Soviet republics — Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine — into a NATO alliance directed against Russia.
After persuading Kiev to join a Moscow-led economic union, Putin saw Ukraine’s pro-Russian government overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup. He has seen U.S.-funded “color-coded” revolutions try to dump over friendly regimes all across his “near abroad.”
“Russia has not accepted the hand of partnership,” says NATO commander, Gen. Philip Breedlove, “but has chosen a path of belligerence.”
But why should Putin see NATO’s inexorable eastward march as an extended “hand of partnership”? …
We are reaping the understandable rage and resentment of the Russian people over how we exploited Moscow’s retreat from empire.
Did we not ourselves slap aside the hand of Russian friendship, when proffered, when we chose to embrace our “unipolar moment,” to play the “great game” of empire and seek “benevolent global hegemony”?
If there is a second Cold War, did Russia really start it?” …….
Ace:
President Trump has recently mentioned Cuba, Canada, Greenland and Panama. Why? Because of the Chinese Encirclement.
That’s exactly how President Putin feels and I don’t blame him, especially when the Deep State was targeting him for overthrowal.
Our President wants to save Ukrainian AND Russian lives. And that is exactly right, because the Monsters who provoked this war (who are the same ones who overthrew him in 2020) want to kill BOTH Ukrainians and Russians, despite their pretense of caring.
Rest in the Vine: Why the Heathen Rage: Ukraine Edition
Good post.
“…because the Monsters who provoked this war (who are the same ones who overthrew him in 2020) want to kill BOTH Ukrainians and Russians, despite their pretense of caring.”
I think it’s also worth saying that there are a whole lot of Americans they’d like to kill, too.
The “kill Americans” part really got traction in 2020.
Logical conclusion – yes.
So Trump made his point, no peace, no USA. I 100% support that. Let’s hope he can make sure no additional US money or assets make it out the gate.
If these Euro-socialist pussies want to fight with Russia, let them fund it with their funny-money and their sons and daughters. I’m betting they won’t.
Now let’s get back to fixing our country……… the work is large and the time is small.
I think the Germans and Brits know that Mohammed isn’t going to fight for the Fatherland…
The leaders of Germany and Britain are not loyal to their nations, they are globalists who had the wet dream like Hildebeast, Klaus, Soros, Gates et al. of no borders just their personal fiefdoms .
That’s a big part of it. There is also no money for defense as most of Europe spends it on the bloated welfare state.
I was semi-surprised that the EU VP actually admitted to that being an issue during a recent interview.
They are desperate for us to pay for and prosecute THEIR bankers war.
This was a meeting presented live on television and the internet. … A person would assume, any agreement between Ukraine (Zelensky) and the USA (Trump) was known >prior to the public meeting at the White House. … Was the ‘wish’ for a continual war with Russia by Zelensky a ‘change’ to any prior agreement, he made with Trump?
Donald Trump is the Master at public appearances and working the ‘Art of the Deal. … +Donald Trump has been the most honest and forthright President in my lifetime, at least about things that are politically important to America.
I believe, Volodymyr Zelensky should >now author is own book. … >How to Weasel Out of a Deal< and continue an endless war for financial gain. I’ve read here on TheConservativeTreehouse and elsewhere, that there are many crooked Ukrainians now living ‘large’ outside of Ukraine. They have been enriched by siphoning off American aid money for their own personal gain. +Many of our own American politicians may be benefiting greatly by the siphoning off money meant for the war in Ukraine.
**************************************************************************
+A willingness to fight a Just War should include an examination if the ‘War’ is actually capable of being won, and that no greater evil occurs because of the war. … Needless to say, Russia clearly is willing to continue this war, and Russia (Putin) has said, he is willing to use nuclear weapons to prevent losing the war.
…….. Rather than appear to be a spineless wimp afraid to fight a Just War, there should be repeatedly more >public political statements made about the expansion of the NATO countries towards the Russian border. … The ‘contested’ areas of Eastern Ukraine and the Crimean areas are populated by Ethnic Russians, that would like to be part of Russia. … & There’s a prior history of Ukraine that is not often publicly discussed. (TheConservativeTreehouse has provided an excellent history of Ukraine during the course of the war.)
Is this truly a ‘Just War’ for America or anyone else?
Only for Russia as this old Cold Warrior still occasionally finds himself stunned to say.
Same here.
+Many of our own American politicians may be (ARE) benefiting greatly by the siphoning of money meant for the war in Ukraine.
The easiest way to get the United States of Ukraine vs Russia war finished, is to disengage the USA, and have Zelensky replaced.
Trump created the disengagement. Zelensky now has to battle politicians at home whilst begging the recalcitrant EU & CIA for help.
While we kneecap the CIA and map their activities.
Can’t happen soon enough.
Last Friday wasn’t even soon enough.
From your lips to God’s ear. Amen
Let the EU
“feel”
what Zelenskyy
was ‘threatening’ the USA today.
-ppfffft!
Peace is the prize.
AMEN.
Perhaps this is the reason Trump chucked Zelensky out of the White House, apparently he called JD Vance a “bitch” in Russian, under his breath.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/zelensky-caught-on-hot-mic-calling-trump-vp-j-d-vance-a-bitch
Well, it might be one of the reasons. It’s certainly a good reason.
But the main reason is Z-bag showed he doesn’t want peace and that is President Trump’s main goal.
So Nueland, Rice, Blinkin and Vindamin apparently coached Z before today’s meeting. What exactly does Z want – and what did they expect him to ask for?
Z showed up in bad faith – apparently had no intention of signing a mineral deal. He totally sandbagged Rubio and frankly Trump also. Z talking about the past and how Russia is so bad shouldn’t even have been brought up when you’re loosing the battle and someone is throwing you a lifeline. Sounds to me like the traitors who coached Z gave him false hope that we’d commit more $ and possibly troops to solved his problem for him. A terrible mistake.
Poor Z. He sits in all these rooms listening to seething globalists in a spittle-flecked rage over Trump/Vance, but he’s too dumb to realize he must not in any circumstance channel those moonbats’ rage into a real world discussion, as it exposes him as a tool.
All this propaganda can work for a while, until it doesn’t. We’re there.
Jeeeez.
I’d seen references to this off and on all day, but no actual documentation.
I guess I was hoping against hope it wasn’t true.
Sadly, this seems to eliminate all doubt.
I know there are a lot of folks who reject infowars and gateway pundit as legitimate sources, but their reporting is very often right. And if this is factual it will be picked up by other outlets and become big news.
How shameful of zelensky. I hope the Ukrainian parliament does impeach him and remove him from office. The sooner the better. He’s a disgrace.
I was watching it live on internet. I saw it, and saw the way z git more and more belligerent towards President Trump. The VP was on the edge of his seat as if he were ready 5o jump up and protect the President if it became necessary.
Yes, I saw the same thing and was left with the same impression.
I had told husband on Thursday I sincerely hoped they’d search Zelensky and wand him before allowing him into the White House on Friday. My instincts seem well founded.
He’s continued with his passive-aggressive attack and delusional manipulations non stop since being tossed out of the meeting, where he came off like a typical druggie from stem to stern. He behaves just like a junkie.
He should never be allowed near the President or VP again. Ever.
Let him come in the downstairs service entrance if he’s going to be allowed to sign anything. It’s the same ramp used to collect the garbage obama made the dali lama use, remember?
I doubt President Trump’s trigger was juvenile name calling. He is a far bigger and better negotiator than that. NY Real Estate, anyone?
Pretty sure both have been called worse to their faces, in plain English no less, without losing their shit. 😐
More likely is the fact that 1: There was an agreement to sign the minerals deal from last week.
2: Zelensky began reneging immediately in front of the cameras, after he was 20 minutes late for the meeting with President Trump. Zelensky was with the Senate Kickback Caucus being told they had more power than President Trump.
3: Zelensky demanded more from America after showing his complete disrespect for what USA taxpayers have already provided him, would not shut up when President Trump was talking, then finished it off with a thinly veiled threat of how our big beautiful Atlantic Ocean may not afford us protection.
Sticker Mule CEO Unveils Life Size Golden Trump Statue

A few people here today commented on Secretary Rubio’s facial expression in the Oval Office. He seemed somewhat somber. I also wondered about his thoughts, while at the same time I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the job he’s doing.
Here’s an article that gives some insight into what Rubio might have been thinking:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14449431/marco-rubio-zelensky-reason-apologize-trump.html
that look rubio had was because he watched in real time his aspirations of being president go out the window to vance.
Zelensky actually appears to believe he can get away with this.
During the Obama administration…right?
Azov Battalion
Tornado Battalion
The Azov Battalion, now known as the Azov Brigade, is a controversial Ukrainian military unit formed in 2014, originally as a volunteer militia to fight against pro-Russian separatists. It has been criticized for its far-right connections and alleged neo-Nazi ties, although it has since been integrated into Ukraine’s National Guard and claims to have distanced itself from those origins.
“Tornado” Company is a company of the Special Tasks Patrol Police of Ukraine. It is widely known for a criminal case opened in connection with numerous serious crimes committed by personnel of the Ukrainian volunteer battalion Tornado during the War in Donbas
The Tornado Battalion was a Ukrainian volunteer unit formed in 2014, known for its involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War. It was disbanded in 2015 due to serious criminal allegations against its members, including kidnapping and assault.

Marco Rubio halted funds to restore Ukraine’d power grid. The EU went nuts. Tell me: What does the power grid look like in western North Carolina or in Lāhainā, HI which burned to the ground more than 2-years ago but still looks like it happened last weekend?
Presidents/PMs of Sweden, Germany, France and a host of other Eurotrash leaders all tweeted their unconditional support for their hero Zelensky today. Let those morons rebuild Ukraine’s power grid.
If they want coke-boy to have a power grid, let THEM pay for it. We do not want this war to continue, and our tax dollars should not be extorted to do so.
Nor our sons and daughters.
Yet that’s exactly what Z-Bag threatened today.
RIGHT!

A few days ago, Ukraine told the Secretary of State Rubio they are ready to sign a deal. Today, Zelensky came and wanted more. What changed?
France happened. They opened a discussion with Ukraine for a deal for minerals. This is the card Zelensky thought he had. He figured he can up the ante because there are other countries that want the minerals.
France did it on purpose.

You want the spoils, you need to put your own soldiers on the line.
So Macron and our own traitors (Nuland, Rice, Vindman, etc.) caused the blow up. This was an attempt to embarrass Trump. Maybe an excuse to impeach him, take him out.
just read they are calling an emergency session of ukraines parliment to initiate impeachment proceeding against little z man.haha
For those with eyes on, and we do know you’re here, please pass it along with our sincere thanks to you all:
We love you, Mr. President. We support you and we agree with what you did today. Stand strong and stop the killing.
Likewise to our excellent Vice President.

It’s so nice to finally have President that loves mankind.
That old adage about “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is mostly a temporary, circumstantial alliance in politics. Not necessarily a long lasting mutually beneficial arrangement.
I would be cautious wherever China is involved. Even if indirectly.
Remember, on one hand the Brics group were seen as a positive counterforce to the globalists one world agenda.
But in that mix is the relationship between Russia and China. And the Brics group have long term plans extending beyond the Ukraine war.
Trump and Putin don’t exist in a vacuum. China is flying under the radar to some degree but are active worldwide on multiple fronts. Putin is looking out for his own interests too. And ties with China could take priority over his rapprochement with Trump. Especially within the larger worldwide Brics context.
And remember that communism has been the prevailing order for many decades in both countries. Even though things have shifted in Russia, the iron curtain can be revised and implemented in a new modern form on the whim of Putin or future leaders. And ties with China and the Brics could shift the global power dynamic.
I trust Trump as a savvy chess player, but he has to negotiate carefully and think beyond just the Ukraine. The Brics are a needed anti globalist entity, but democracy isn’t necessarily assured longer term guven the histories of those countries. And China is patiently preparing for what they want long term.

SHOCK REPORT
‘I made a mistake’
According to inside sources Zelensky was left ‘flabbergasted’ after Trump cancelled a joint press conference and lunch.
The same sources say the Ukrainian leader admitted to aides that he ‘made a huge mistake arguing with Trump.’

If this is true, then he needs to stop listening to Susan Rice.
Was she the one whispering in his ear.. Seems he chose the wrong side.
And the Vindman brothers. And Nuland, Power, and any pro-Ukie US senators from either party.
All seditionists.
lol, yah think?! hahaha
He got curb stomped. Trust me, the ONLY people upset about that live in EU capitals, Foggy Bottom and the CIA.
Zelensky has made a long line of mistakes a few which were even worse than this one!
Z (and whoever has been whispering in his ear to undermine Trump)
thought he could brow beat Trump in the media to get what he wanted
cuz they all thought Trump wanted to deal so bad he would do anything
they never figured he would walk away.
Well, Goll-lleee!
Sur-prise, Sur-prise!!
Gomer would’ve known when to shut up and listen.
Z-man didn’t.
Thanks Admin! The preceding reply was held awaiting approval – my fat fingers got in the way.
Always a good idea to proofread your comments (and name) before hitting ‘Post Comment’
that website gets blocked for trojan viruses. any other source for it?
The conspirators and collaborators in the US Senate better be prepared for what is coming your way.
We see you. We the American public see you Miss Lindsey. We watched what you tried today.
We are watching and your days are numbered.
Reality is we find ourselves in a military alliance (NATO) with “allies” all of whom are the equivalent politically of the Democrats circa 2020-2024 (save perhaps Italy and, for different reasons, Turkey). And, more importantly, despite being so-called “allies”, they are all increasingly openly hostile towards the U.S. now that it is led by President Trump. France. the UK. Germany. Denmark. Canada, the EU. Poland – all of them are working to undermine the MAGA movement and President Trump even though many feign otherwise (I’m looking at you Macron and Starmer).
It is plain to see why. Just like he was a threat to the Democrat Party rule in the U.S., so does any success he achieves sow the seeds and demand for MAGA-like change in their own countries.
The Globalists have miscalculated badly if they think both President Trump and President Putin don’t understand they share a common enemy and that they won’t cooperate to defeat them where it serves the vision they have for the strategic interests of their respective countries. Putin’s enemy isn’t only Zelenskyy, it is the globalists who drove the Maiden Revolution and who led to Zelenskyy subsequent election in the years that followed. Trump achieving a quick peace accord is a disaster for the Globalists simply because it will begin to make transparent their role in this fiasco. As a results stopping Trump from achieving peace has become their hill to die on. You can see it in all of their actions in response to today’s events.
So be it, this day was always going to arrive. I hope they enjoy eternity on the hill they have selected.
So, why hasn’t US’ Joint Base with NATO been decommissioned?
https://jfcnorfolk.nato.int/
Why allow the frenemy in our midst privy to our defense?
Democrats and Europeans rushing to Zelensky’s defense are massively helping Trump. Bank on it.
We are dealing with insane people, and the more they scream, the better for peace.
I think there’s a great chance the US pulls out of NATO.
If the price of being in NATO is endless war – the price is too high.
‘ I think there’s a great chance the US pulls out of NATO. ‘
If you subscribe to Prof. John Mearsheimer’s assertion, that the US/NATO push starting c.2008 to turn Ukraine into a NATO state bordering Russia, is what led to the current Ukraine war;
And if you believe that it is mainly the US that has pushed and enabled this war, drawing the EU in;
You may see a progression from 2008 onward, to yesterday’s contrived Oval Office theater, and where the US is evidently steering things now: In this view, it pushed events to war, exploited that as long as it was rewarding, and is now pivoting to one final exploit of Ukraine: Exiting NATO.
(Exploiting Ukraine’s natural resources e.g. minerals will be icing on the cake, if that happens. Which is likely, given that Ukraine is reportedly in shambles now.)
The contrived (livestreamed!) and likely scripted theater yesterday was obviously a set up to give Trump a reason to pull support from Ukraine and blame Z for it. “Z disrespected the US Presidency and the Oval Office”.
(While reinforcing the image of tough guy Trump (and wingman Vance), more akin to gangster bully ethos than diplomacy. Trump was formed working in NYC real estate development, NYC is reputed to be rife with organized crime, yesterday’s “meeting” fit the mold. The movie “The Godfather” is steeped in the importance of “respect” for the mafia organizations.)
In this view, Z will be retained long enough for the US to withdraw support to a point that Ukraine has to wave the white flag and Russia completes its Special Military Operation. The EU will appear to rally behind Ukraine, the US will withdraw from NATO, EU/NATO will be forced to back down, and then the continent will settle down in an uneasy peace for a time, with a weakened EU.
It’s important to frame this within the longer term geopolitical shift underway, of the weakening US Bloc and the strengthening BRICS+ Bloc. In this context, it appears likely that all of the Ukraine events were planned to support the coming end state of a diminished US Bloc and dominant BRICS+ Bloc headed by industrial/scientific juggernaut China.
It’s a safe bet that The Godfather is one of Trump’s favorite movies.
Being the Don of the US Executive branch is several levels above a mafia Don. The fulfillment of a lifelong ambition?
“Gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” seems to be the general approach of the Executive now.
Turned inward as well, to bring the Executive branch to heel under the new Don. Complete loyalty or purging, take your pick. With extra purging to ensure you know who’s boss.
(In the Godfather, releasing a subordinate would be accomplished by, or followed by, “neutralizing” them. In today’s abysmal economy, being fired from a government job by the purge will lead to a fate similar in principle for many. Those still employed will become 100% compliant. Mission accomplished.)
The machinations in play are very similar to The Godfather.

Double entendré ?
Make it a package deal.
Pull out of NATO.
Defund the UN.
Stop facilitating our own collapse by paying our enemies to destroy us.
I don’t think Z can ever agree to peace. He does not comprehend common sense.
I think of him in the videos wearing high heels and tight pants and rhinestones , dancing like a mad transsexual deranged nut who cannot think logically , cannot engage rationally, driven by drugs and wild emotion.
Yes, The result of his mindset is a display which is disrespectful of USA , but it is derived from transexual madness, his obsessive vision of continuing to fight a non-winnable war by soaking American and European taxpayers to keep pursuing his madness.
My take is He isn’t deliberately disrespectful , he is just stark raving batshit crazy
Z is a puppet.
We can guess the identity of the puppeteer.
Prior to the Zelensky meeting, Alexander Mercouris published his daily youtube podcast that pointed out that the staggered visit by Macron, then Starmer, then Zelensky was a devious plan to extract security guarantees for British/French troops on the ground in Ukraine after the Trump team had already made it clear there would be no US security guarantees for Ukraine.
Apparently, they were going to latch onto the slightest hint of support from Trump to back their presence in Ukraine, ie, backup for France/ Britain vs Ukraine.
Of course, Trump saw through their plan and gave Macron and Starmer absolutely nothing, humiliating Starmer in the process when he asked him if Britain could stand up to the Russians alone. (As a data point, the British military has more horses than tanks and appx 1 general per horse, maybe the generals are horses, I forget.)
When Zelensky showed up today they intentionally let him blow it all up very publicly. VP Vance intentionally provoked Zelensky at a crucial point and Zelensky blew a gasket.
The whole of Europe is now in shock because their media, like ours, has been reporting the visits by Macron/Starmer went amazingly well, their leaders performed brilliantly, and the US would soon be back to fully backing Europe/ Ukraine.
Those so-and-sos were trying to suck the US into WW III with Russia, which would be the obvious outcome of any US military support for Ukraine. European leaders want the world in flames so that when everything settles (assuming its not all radioactive) they have a seat at the table of power. Now, instead, they are basically colonies of the US. And after, I doubt they ever come back with Trump.
There is only one thing I saw all day long more pathetic than this European treachery. And that was commentary by David Brooks and some other nobody on these events. Absolutely ignorant and despicable neocons who lied about and promoted this awful war that killed 1,000,000 Ukr men and boys. These people allied themselves with Europe to destroy the US. I think that makes them real life criminal traitors.
Like a boss. Today he totally took the wind out the sails of the Pam Bondi story. Love to see it.
Nyah, The Boss will return to that soon. His master plan will be to get legit people in at DoJ and FBI. Tough job, but he’ll work to that goal.
So, why does US still host Joint Base with NATO in Norfolk, Va at the opening of Chesapeake Bay?
This is the gateway to Norfolk- home port of US Navy’s Fleet Forces Command, Ft Story US Army amphibious base, Newport News Shipyard, Joint Base Langley Air Force Base and Eustis Army Base along the James River, US Naval Weapons Station and Clowns in Action Camp Peary, Yorktown. Coast Guard Base up the York River, and the federal seat of power/ operations, Quantico USMarines Base, (Feebees, DEA) Ft Belvoir, up the Potomac River, then there is the US Naval Academy along the Severn River and Access to DelMarva peninsula-Wallops Island NASA flight facility.
Let’s talk about Zelensky’s Nazi overlords who control him in Ukraine. I imagine that Zelensky will not be in a rush to return to Ukraine.
The remarks by Susan Rice were telling. The Democrats did not want that agreement signed without Ukraine getting some kind of “security guarantee,” which would either be a US unilateral commitment of US troops as well as equipment and money, or NATO membership. Rice said there should be such a guarantee and Zelenskyy used the same terminology as Rice.
Zelenskyy is a puppet of the Democratic Party, and, as such, he talked to people like Rice before Zelenskyy:
It doesn’t matter how much everyone else wants a CEASEFIRE. You know, “ceasefire” like the left demanded from Israel in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but somehow does not want in the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Zelenskyy is a Democratic National Committee puppet.
Even BIDEN didn’t give Zelenskyy a “security guarantee” in writing and would never do that AS LONG AS SUSAN RICE TOLD BIDEN HE SHOULDN’T. The war must go on because they think the US is in the same economic position as when the US armed the jihadis in Afghanistan to defeat and bankrupt Russia. We are not in that kind of economic shape.
Susan Rice can take a long walk off a short pier.
It’s not one subset of the Uniparty. It’s the entire Uniparty. After the 2022 election, McConnell made clear that Ukraine was his #1 priority. Screw everything else.
Forget your little R’s and D’s. We’re long past that here. Are you with the enemy or are you with us?
I hope Sundance can raise an important issue about the Ukraine/Russia war:
How much has USAID contributed to pour gas on the flames of war?
Judging by Zelensky’s “disrespect” turning world events:
Melania must be one of the few American wives who does not habitually disrespect her husband.
Ephesians 5:33
Maybe Trump’s influence will also help to restore the American family, by influencing a return to a more Biblical model of marriage.
I don’t understand Zelenskyy’s “thinking.”
P Trump offers him a credible and honorable 1st step way to peace but the Ukrainian President refuses to accept the proposal because it doesn’t guarantee it won’t stop Putin from attacking. So he continues to argue with the President and VP that Putin will break any ceasefire and other peace initiative.
So he scuttles the 1st step to peace and will now return to Ukraine to deal with a still active unrestrained Russian military threatening his people. Where is the logic. Pursuing Trump’s road to peace gave them a chance to peace but Zelenskky’s seems to prefer continuing the war with his tough talking EU allies that have no chance or interest in making peace.
Where are the former references to the Nazi Azov battalion that was allegedly aggravating and even harming Soviet’s inside Russia before the Putin invasion occurred. It was allegedly part of the reason why Putin initially attacked Ukraine as well as the calls for NATO membership.
Because Z is more scared of the Azov Nazis than he is
the Russians perhaps?
The Azov Nazis do exist, you know.
Glad to see ‘the adults’ are truly back in the WH. Biden would have fallen asleep or smirked and walked off camera.
I detest Z and his corruption and his country’s corruption.
Wonderful he was sent packing, empty handed.
However, I believe this was all done for the world to see to calm the seas and save face for Bondi and Patel. They have shown themselves to be incompetent players on this team.
Trump has WON at every turn, UNTIL…..girl Bondi and Patel enter the stage.
Abject failure at every turn and an embarrassment.
MUST be handled quickly or their really quick sinking confidence level will burn down.
Unsure they can recover.
NEVER promise what you CAN’T deliver OR have no intent of delivering. Bondi has looked like a bimbo the last few days.
I’ve lost ALL confidence in either.
EVERY other agency MOVING RIGHT ALONG, focus and intentional.
I am not so sure that the Bondi/Patel thing wasn’t staged. Didn’t Starmer go back to Britian with the thought of “what else do they know about Epstein? that he was MI6?”
I do believe that the Ukraine conference in the Senate told Zman that they were in charge, not Trump, after all Klobacher’s friend Maria Yovanovitch(spelling – our former Amb to Ukraine) was in the meeting. Add that to a probable phone call or zoom with Susan Rice and Sam Power, Zman was totally thinking he could control the meeting.
For all you Treepers who were sketch on Vance; that display at the WH was epic/ and if that doesn’t do it for you, nothing will. Vance just secured his nomination with his equal show of force to Zelensky, running mate TBD.
The only thing that would rehabilitate Vance is if he publicly renounced Thiel and admitted that the $15M Thiel handed him deprived Ohio citizens of their Constitutionally guaranteed right to republican government as expressed by a legitimate US Senator chosen by those citizens and not an amoral tech oligarch.
The Boss set up this Z hit. Vance has zero career accomplishments, other than running his mouth, mouthing what he’s paid to mouth.
Yes, his mouthrunning is gathering quite a cult now. So did Obama’s. He never did anything in his life either.
