First things first. Did you notice the byline on the NBC report we discussed about U.S. and EU officials beginning talks with Ukraine about peace-talks to end the stalemate. For those who didn’t notice, Kristen Welker was one of the reporters who wrote the article {NBC LINK}. Then today, Zelenskyy appears on NBC Meet the Press, with Kristen Welker, to discuss the status of the Ukraine war and say there is no “stalemate.” Funny, but not accidental, how that happens.
The full interview link is here (and below); however, during the interview Welker asked Zelenskyy about President Trump saying he would end the conflict within 24 hours. Zelenskyy scoffs at the possibility and rejects that any peace negotiations could take place. WATCH (3 mins):
.
I’m going to try and put the absurd nature (literally his World War Reddit disposition) of Volodymyr Zelenskyy over there on the side for a moment [that’s not easy], and accept his pronouncements are with what he genuinely believes, with the full weight and support of the U.S. State Dept/CIA to frame his reference.
KRISTEN WELKER:
On Saturday, I sat down with an emotional President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who spoke to me in both Ukrainian and English and acknowledged his people are tired but undeterred. His plea to U.S. lawmakers: give Ukraine one more year of aid and it will be able to close its funding gap or, he warned, the price for the United States will be even higher.
KRISTEN WELKER:
President Zelenskyy, let me start off by asking you: It has now been more than 600 days since Russia invaded Ukraine. How would you describe the state of the war right now?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
Thank you very much for the question. As far as the situation on the front is concerned, I think – of course, I cannot provide all the details to you. But nevertheless, we hold the initiative in our hands. You can imagine what a full-scale war or what two years of a full-scale war is like. Everybody gets tired. Even the iron gets tired. But, nevertheless, I am proud of our warriors and of our people, that they are strong. Our people are helping. Our people are mobilized. And our people have a strong desire to win. Again, some spheres, Kristen, we see steps forward. Sometimes they are slow steps because of the landmines which Russia planted there while we were preparing for a counter-offensive. And in some spheres, we have problems with the air. Unfortunately, this thing hasn’t changed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. We have seen Russia’s domination in the air. It’s a fact. And without the air defense, our steps forward are slow.
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
But I can give you one example about Black Sea. We have great success in the Black Sea. Even after Russia blocked Black Sea and canceled our grain corridor, grain initiative — by the way, we help by this corridor countries of Asia, countries of – every country to manage the hunger. And I think that was very important, crucial. And when Russia canceled it because they had initiative in the Black Sea, they blocked Black Sea. Now, we really defeated it. We really defend our Black Sea, and Russian fleet is being destroyed by our ammunition. And now, Russia doesn’t control fleet. That means that we used all ammunition — sea, drones and air defense — to defend this region. It’s very important. That was a signal – signal that we can manage this war even against such a terrorist organization like Kremlin.
KRISTEN WELKER:
The strategy of this war. This summer, and you reiterated right now, the progress has been slower than desired. And recently one of your top generals said Ukraine has, quote, “reached a stalemate.” Has the war reached a stalemate?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Kristen, you know, on the 24th of February when Russia invaded our cities, country, our land, our families, and they attacked all of us, the world gave us three days. Some European countries who really believed in us, they said one month. Others said it will be very quick. And this is really this situation, what they said. But now we speak with you. Now, it’s almost two years. Now, initiative in our hands. Yes, a lot of people, of course, in the world are tired. Of course, it’s understandable. Somebody tired on the battlefield, somebody tired on the works, and somebody tired abroad. They want to come back home to their husbands, to their soldiers, to these guys, women and children. Somebody tired from European leaders to support Ukraine. Yes, of course because long war.
KRISTEN WELKER:
I hear you rejecting the characterization by your top generals that this is a stalemate. Are you changing strategies, as has been reported?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
I believe that today indeed, the situation is difficult. I don’t think that this is a stalemate, this attack on the, on the, on the part of the Russian army. But before that, we did a lot. We have done a lot. We had a very difficult situation. They thought that they would checkmate us, but this didn’t happen. And on the contrary, we took the initiative in our hands. Now, Russia wants to do – to attack us. They are attacking us in the east of our country while losing thousands of people and hundreds of units, pieces of weaponry. We don’t see it. But in the Andriivka direction in the last week, 200 pieces of weaponry, of ammunition were lost – have been lost. Thousands of people have been lost. They have been killed.
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
So we don’t see details. Sometimes our attitude to the war, that somebody staying on the one – one place. But it’s not just stay. When you stay, you kill the enemy, and this is the fact. Of course, Russia understands that now when focus from Ukraine taken off, and when this focus to the Middle East, and when they try to divide the world in this crisis, Israel/Palestine crisis, and of course, of course Russia is very happy with this war. They don’t count how many children were killed there. They don’t think about the flag or nationality. We saw some moments their attitude. We saw what was in Makhachkala, Dagestan. This is the part of Russia. This is what the biggest wave of antisemitism. So what they want? They just want to divide the world, to take focus from Ukraine to another war. And if it will not be enough for them – I’m again repeat it, and I’m repeating it these two years – if it will be not enough for them – it will not be enough. Because Syria was not enough. They began in Ukraine. After Ukraine, in the Middle East. They will continue their plan. And you see that Iran is supporting them, in Ukraine supporting them with the weapons and now in the Middle East again.
KRISTEN WELKER:
So, President Zelenskyy, are you looking at a shift in strategy to try to gain the upper hand right now?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
Our military are coming up with different plans, with different operations in order to move forward faster and to strike Russian Federation unexpectedly. But barehanded, it’s impossible to do without weapons, without relevant, proper weapons. It’s a fact. Therefore, we have to prepare. We have to clearly understand what steps could be more appropriate, and we have to move forward faster.
KRISTEN WELKER:
President Zelenskyy, NBC News is reporting that U.S. and European officials have begun quietly talking to your government about what possible peace negotiations with Russia might look like to end this war. Have you personally been involved in these talks, and what’s the status of these talks?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
A lot of different voices around us. I heard a lot of different voices and emotions and without any contradictions and propositions, a lot of different things. But as for me, I don’t have – for today I don’t have any relations with Russians. And they know my position. That is the position of my country. That is the position of our people. We don’t want to make any dialogue with terrorists. And the president of the United States and Congress, bipartisan support, all these people, they know that I am not ready to speak with the terrorists because their word is nothing. Nothing. We can’t trust terrorists because terrorists always come back, always come back.
KRISTEN WELKER:
As you know, with this attack against Israel, Americans are now being asked to fund two wars. And there’s growing skepticism about ongoing support of Ukraine, particularly among Republicans in Congress. What is your message to U.S. lawmakers who don’t want to send another dollar to Ukraine?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
Thank you very much for this question. First of all, it’s not aid to Ukraine. I think that it is aid to the United States and the European Union. As I said, I believe that Ukraine is defending our joint values, common values. I will repeat: I believe that Putin wants to divide Europe, to weaken the United States of America. And he always wants to find a hot spot in Europe so that there is no stability in Europe, in the Middle East – what’s happening now – and on other continents, too. And I believe that Ukraine is defending both the European Union, the European continent, and our common values.
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
My message, one more message, you have to understand how we fight, how we live. You have to understand, just to come to Ukraine and see. We are the same people. We have the same values. I’m really thankful to President Biden. By the way, he was here. And I think he’s a strong man. And it was a historical moment. He’s a hero because he was in those moments under a Russian missile attack. But he was here, and he understood more about Ukraine. Yes, he knew Ukraine even before this invasion. Yes, he knew, but he understood the heroic attitude Ukraine has to democracy, to their people, to their houses, to their families. And he understood. He began more strongly to help us. And I’m also thankful to Congress. I had the opportunity to address Congress two times. And really, Congress and the bipartisan support was very important in a very important moment. Now, it’s a very important moment not to lose the will, not to lose this strong position and not to lose your democracy.
KRISTEN WELKER:
As you know –
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Please, it’s very important. Now, you don’t send your soldiers. God bless. Don’t send your daughters and sons to other NATO country. Because if Russia will kill all of us, they will attack NATO countries, and you will send your sons and daughters. And it will be – I’m sorry, but the price will be higher. That is my signal. And believe in democracy, believe in Ukraine.
KRISTEN WELKER:
How long should they expect to send more money? When do you anticipate you can end this war, President Zelenskyy?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY:
I think that the next year with the challenges, because this is the year of your elections. Now, again, we see the critical situation in the Middle East. So I think your help is very important for the next year. And that is crucial. And I think, if we will manage all the things that I said, the gap will be minimized in our budget. And after that, after next year, if – it the war will not finish next year – if – if it will not finish – I think that using air defense systems, using this platform of cooperation and co-production, and using these new jobs, I think we will manage to minimize this gap and you will not help us such high price. I’m sure. That’s it.
KRISTEN WELKER:
And to be very specific, I’m going to ask you about the election momentarily. You are asking for more air defenses. F-16s obviously are in the process of being ready. What more air defenses do you need, President Zelenskyy? Can you be specific?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Yes. Anti-drone systems and specific drones which our defense ministers and commanders they know very well. That’s drones which can attack enemies and also drones which are intelligent. They provide intelligence. So these specific things we began to produce.
KRISTEN WELKER:
And when we come back, more of my interview with President Zelenskyy, including his response to former President Trump’s proposal to end the war in 24 hours.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Welcome back. As the Republican presidential candidates prepare to meet in Miami this week for their third debate, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy spoke directly to the frontrunner who will not be on stage, former President Donald Trump.
KRISTEN WELKER:
President Zelenskyy, former President Trump, who is the GOP frontrunner, has said that if he is reelected he could end this war in 24 hours. What is your reaction and message to former President Trump about that?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Former President Trump said that about 24 hours, that he can manage it and finish the war. For me, what can I say? So he’s very welcome as well. President Biden was here, and he – I think he understood some details which you can understand only being here. So I invite President Trump. If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes – yes, 24 minutes; not more. Yes. Not more. Twenty-four minutes to explain President Trump that he can’t manage this war. He can’t bring peace because of the Putin. If, but always there is an “if,” If he’s not trying and if he’s not ready to give our territory for this terrible man, for the Putin, if you are not ready to give it, if you are not ready to give our independence, he – he – he can’t manage it. Yes.
KRISTEN WELKER:
You have –
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
– So he’s very welcome.
KRISTEN WELKER:
He’s welcome to come to Ukraine. Other presidential candidates have obviously come to Ukraine as well. Have you had any contact with former President Trump since he left office, President Zelenskyy?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
No. No. No, no. That’s why he’s very welcome to repeat our tradition, which was when he was the president.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do you think he would have Ukraine’s back if he were to be reelected?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Really, I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. I hope that – that – that it depends not only on the president institutionally. I think it depends on the opinion of Americans, of your society. I think that is most important. I think it’s important in the United States and EU, the attitude of just ordinary people. It’s their support. It’s their money. It – it depends on them.
KRISTEN WELKER:
There are reports that you plan to visit Israel. Is that true, and what will your goal be?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
From the very start, on the first day of the attack by the terrorist organization Hamas against Israel, we condemned this aggression and we stated our position. And I said that we are ready to go to Israel today. It is difficult to say because I’m a president of a country at war, and you know that on our battlefield it’s very hard. Therefore, my visit there depends on a number of things. I have to be open. First – so what’s happening on the battlefield defines many things. And, second, it depends on whether we will be able to get our citizens of Ukraine who are stranded there. If we can get them out of there, if for this it’s necessary for me to be there, in Israel, in Egypt, wherever our people are released, I will fly there if it’s possible. If that can be done without my involvement at the level of diplomacy, they will do that then.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do you believe Israel is following international law?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [TRANSLATED]:
I have to be sincere. We are looking at this situation as if something new. It’s not a new situation at all. It’s a fire that has been burning between Israel and Palestine, and some people are still throwing matches into this fire. And I’m sure that Russia was behind and sponsoring Hamas. And Iran, too. That’s who is to blame. When we talk about laws, rules, where there are terrorists, there are no rules. Everything is beyond laws. Everybody’s trying to save their own lives and fight against the enemy using all the effort, all the forces. First, in order to finish this war and sit down at the negotiation table, pressure on Russia and Iran, you have to admit that these countries are behind approaches. And I would also add North Korea there. You saw how many North Korean munitions were found in Gaza. It’s a fact, absolute fact. And it’s difficult, of course. The main thing is that if terrorists are attacking, if terrorists attack, if they behead children, you have the full right to defend people and defend your own country, state. But we have to understand: If we can open humanitarian corridors, take away prisoners of war, help people who are not involved there, the whole world should do this and the whole world should do all they can to stop this war.
KRISTEN WELKER:
President Zelenskyy, thank you so much. Before you go, if you want to share: What keeps you going? Do you ever feel defeated?
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
I have a lot of power, but even feeling strong, and I have a lot of energy, it doesn’t mean that we want to fight all our lives because the price is high, like I said. Because the war takes the best of us, the best heroes, the best men, women, children. That’s it. But we are not ready to give our freedom to this [EXPLETIVE] terrorist, Putin. That’s it. That’s why we are fighting. That’s it.
KRISTEN WELKER:
President Zelenskyy, thank you so much for your time this morning. We really appreciate it.
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY [ENGLISH]:
Thank you.
.
Purty shore POTATUS would have to give Trump approval to go to Ukraine
which he would never , ever do
get a load of this:
Ukraine Can Become Weapons Production Hub for the West, Says Defence Industry Minister
Ukraine’s newly appointed head of defence industry says he is working to turn the country into a weapons production hub for the West.
methinks a plot to keep the Defense Industry Dollars flowing to Ukraine
because there are NO dollars more profligate than DEFENSE dollars
… and this:
Muslim or no, Turkey knows on which side its bread is buttered (hosting US bases, that is)
TURKEY: POLICE TEAR GAS PRO-HAMAS MOB TRYING TO STORM U.S. AIRBASE
No – not IMO.
Not when I saw Turkey sit back as ISIS was about conquer Kobani – but then the USA finally supported the Kurd’s defense.
(Who R.T. Erdogan detests).
IMO Erdogan is an old school -Muslim-school Islamic wannabe (who destests Kemal Attaturk).
yeah, but he plays both sides of the fence
undeniably muslim
but joins NATO and hosts US bases
he’s no fool and I think US is the sucker
Turkey (and Greece) joined NATO in 1952 (NATO was founded in 1949, I think). There’s an interesting back story there re Greece and Turkey, for those who care about history.
due to the building of an American air base there in 1954. Adana air base then. I think the name has been changed.
How ironic now the Turks have been screaming for years for us to remove it.
Just look at some of the more popular poses of Bien and, especially, Wray and you’ll see a lot of “Vacancy” signs
Don’t forget Turkey has NATO nukes that they refused to return when asked
Be careful. This could be the setting of a death trap. Trump should not leave the relative safety of his immediate security people. Going to a war zone especially would be taunting his opposition.
I can’t imagine President Trump going to Ukraine. Too many who hate him are in the vicinity. It would have to be some sort of “neutral” zone before he would ever entertain anything like that IMHO. And where in the world does that exist!?
Did Trump give permission to Dems to shadow him overseas and undercut his policies?
No. But under the New Rules, treason isn’t treason unless Trump does it, and his going to Ukraine would be what they use to charge him with treason.
Pretty sure this would be a trap. A tad dangerous for PDJT and not worth the risk.
He’d be a sitting duck for the deep state
just like the SEAL TEAM 6 Massacre that obama, biden, and the pentagon setup…
Extortion 17.. So few remember and I can’t understand why.. I was a horrible thing to do to our service personnel.. unforgivable..
Putin and Trump should meet in Scotland without any knowledge or press. After the peace accord is reached they will announce in their own countries what the deal is. Problem solved…
He should invite Putin and Zelensky to the White House for peace talks
100%
It looks that way. On the other hand, if Zelensky wanted to talk to Trump, he knows what they would do with a phone call, so speaking man to man would be the only way they could communicate, wouldn’t it?
That Time Magazine piece is an attempt to place the blame for the Ukraine disaster on one man, Zelensky, and then to make it seem like it really wasn’t his fault either, because he’s deluded at this point, poor guy.
Notice they take the trouble to describe him as “emotional”.
Who knows if he really wants to talk to Trump, and what he really wants to talk about?
trump : ‘ i’ll come if you give all the info on biden and his corruption. oh, you can’t? you’re in the middle of blackmailing him? oh,okay.’
yep, why Joe wants an entire years worth of Ukraine funding
Zelensky’s attitude is exactly why we should be very careful what weapons we give him
he’s nuts and will start a huge war if given the opportunity
give him quail prices but not oil prices- Daniel Plainview
Our own government has been taken over by psychopaths.
Or hadn’t you noticed decades of outright treason being performed daily by Congress, the Office of the President, and the Supreme Court?
TRUMP was the breath of fresh air that proves the stink and corruption of the se treason filled criminal of the federal cartel. (and States too, down to your local who are these as your front lines.
The first step is admitting there is a problem.
We’ve known that for over a century now.
..just watch very close face of -blinken… it said all….
His brain is scrambled – a very poor thinker. He is a hot mess.
If I’m Putin, I’d make Ukraine pay reparations to the mothers and (not “or”)widows of slain Russian troops.
He’ll be more popular than vodka.
Stolichnya over GreyGoose.
I’d consider that a mixed drink, at least on a technicality. 😉
That means we’d be paying. No thanks.
Yeah, but at least your tax money would more likely get where it’s intended & for a reputable purpose.
It’s going to get p***ed away regardless after all…
If he starts peace talks, the Nazi’s may assassinate him.
It would sure be convenient for the deep state intelligence apparatus if that happened.
Perhaps that’s the reason for the invitation.
🤔
Do not give these people any coverage and oxygen to their propaganda
Zelensky ran on a Peace Platform. Then we paid him to repudiate the Peace Agreement and maim and murder tens of thousands of Ukrainians, which he did. For money. Zelensky does as he is told.
THAT MEANS HE WAS TOLD TO INVITE REAL PRESIDENT TRUMP BY THE OBAMA/biden JUNTA. HE DIDN’T DO THAT ON HIS OWN.
At a minimum, they are trying to set up Actual President for failed negotiations and a Logan Act charge (even though no one has ever been seriously charged with it).
More likely, GIVEN THE SPIRALING WICKEDNESS OF THE DICTATORSHIP, THEY WOULD LIKELY TRY TO SHOOT HIS PLANE DOWN IN A WAR ZONE AND BLAME PUTIN, ACCOMPLISHING TWO GOALS AT ONCE.
God forbid it, Lord!
Obviously the DS (with Zelensky) is trying to set up DJT. No way DJT will fall for this BS. If Zelensky wants to meet with Trump, he will have to meet with him after DJT is the POTUS in the 2024 election.
Half a million dead so far.
If a half million people die with no visible evidence, is it really war?
800K is more like it.
Boze Sacuvaj. Godpodi Pomiluj, Blagodari President Donald J. Trump. Tebje Gospodi. Amin!
This is just me, but Volodomyr Zelenskyy makes me think of what you would get if Adolf Hitler and Madeleine Albright had a baby – be aware and don’t get mesmerized. Pure nuts, off the scale aggressive cornered possum
Possums aren’t aggressive. Maybe a rabid one, and these folks are rabid.
There’s an opossum in a children’s book called Possamundas. He wears a diaper. It’s a very cute storybook. Once we surprised a possum at night. That animal stood stock still for 20 minutes, never moving an inch. Seemed rather harmless.
Zelenskyy talks a lot about everyone being tired. Noticed that. He had make up on to cover the dark circles under his eyes. Time to pack it up, Zelenskyy, the Ukraine war has been a huge drain on the US and on your countrymen. Our citizens are fed up.
President Trump stay close to home. We need you here.
Just as an aside, opossums raarely get rabies. It’s thought that their low normal body temperature makes it difficult for that virus to survive.
Adolf Halfbright
Isn’t the viewing audience for Meet the Press just over 2 million viewers? Don’t the Sunday morning cartoons have a larger audience?
Z would likely reach peace quickly if he fully committed to exposing the corruption and committed to never being the global slush fund for corruption for the world (and democrats). The reality that Ukraine is a corrupt slush fund is not new, this war is about exposing it (Putin) versus protecting it (globalists) from it being exposed.
US Tax$ —> Ukraine—> FTX —> DNC
prove me wrong…
The gal looks mesmerized or like she is trying to mesmerize back at him (and anyone watching) . . .
Sheesh.
I like Jack Posobeics idea better! Have Pres Trump invite Zelensky to Mar A Lago and bring the Biden files with him from Ukraine!!!😝
Zelenskyy is what he is. A leftist stage actor. He is laundering money with great enthusiasm for the US political grifters. What else does anyone expect from him? He will lose the war but if it takes another year, all the better for the bettors.
Zelenskyy could be the other side of the FTX coin – SBF on one side, Z on the other – both heads.
Wanna flip? Heads I win, tails you lose.
No thank you!
I think Hillary had a bunch of those two-headed coins (heads on both sides) for those Democrat Caucus coin-flips back in 2016
We do know that Ukraine ran a lot of money through FTX. I bet you can guess where that went.
“But nevertheless, we hold the initiative in our hands.”
Left holding the bag. This dude needs a lesson in snipe hunting my friends.
How comic right?
Smarmy fly, Mr. Z, the Reality TV Porn Star. What a L O S E R.
And this is who all of the “smartest” globalists hung their hats on?!
Now that would be a picture!
President Trump should send him a gift pack of all of his books.
Maybe throw in a few of his favorites BOOKS from his former pastor Norman Vincent Peale.
And definitely something on How To Dress For Success.
The pjs are getting old, and disgusting. Like Fetterman disgusting. Grow up.
Tell him to read them and come find him later for a discussion on real life and how to build stuff instead of tearing it down.
Trump should send Zelensky a complete set of DVDs of Obama’s speeches.
No need to go there PDJT. Uncle Vladimir will be ending this charade soon. This interview has a cryptic undercurrent. Zelensky looks and sounds like a defeated man.
Puffy, histrionic, doped up, exhausted and deluded.
It’s actually quite the appropriate look, for a tawdry counterfeit Ukro-Fuhrer.
Ole Adolf aged like milk too. Due to stress & heavy drug use. Though in all fairness at least he wasn’t a puppet and had a respectable military record in WW1.
Raise your hand if you truly believe that President Donald John Trump actually takes anything that was said and inferred in this fake news interview seriously.
Let’s count all those raised hands now…everyone who believes….okay…okay…I cannot see those hands raised…..
oooohhhhhh…way over there on the left…there’s a few…let’s see..I count…1, 2, 3,….anyone? anyone?
Beautiful nimrodman!
You always come through.
“You there in the back! Don’t’ be shy!”
Massive Patriotic rally for President Biden courageously leading the Free World against the dark forces of MAGA!
Zylynskyy is an idiot if he thinks that We the People believe any of this jive talk he puts out. How many times did he say Biden knew and Biden understands. THAT right there was the dead giveaway that this guy is a fake because we all (We the People) know that Biden doesn’t understand anything at all. His brain is shot.
Invite Obombie, Baby Bush and Slick Willy for the next Kinzhal missile attack
Trump got impeached because the CIA (Ciaramella and call me colonel Vindman) wanted no upsets in their scheduled Ukrainian War and called their servant Democrats into action. Zelenskyy stood silent as the entire World was cheated out of Peace and Prosperity in exchange for Ukranian payments to the Biden Family.
True statement
Trump shouldn’t touch this w a 10 foot pole.
Isn’t it possible that the dude is an intel asset? I mean that’s what it seems like to me.
Just cut off funding
The new Speaker is at least asking some basic questions like “how do we win this war” before any new funding is granting which of course the answer is “ there is no way to “win” this war without catastrophic nuclear consequences so funding should end now.
Right now.
The consequences of this Ukrainian gross misadventure have been an utter disaster with the likely destruction of our currency and the destruction of our diplomatic credibility, along with pushing Russia into alliances with China, Iran and North Korea.
If by some miracle Zelensky is still alive and still in power when DJT gets reelected it will be hilarious to watch Zelensky try to walk back all his comments and instead try desperately to suck-up to Trump.
This is the “Russian collusion” that the bird brains won’t acknowledge
https://media.marcopolousa.org/pdf/bidensar2.pdf
Yeeeesssss go to Ukraine .. the party of the ass would love that.. the 4th branch would love it more.. they would see it as a opertunity to cast a stone that would destroy PDJT physically.. And start the war they really want with the Russians …
This guy is going to wind up with his brains scattered on the wall like cherry pie. If the money train stalls, those Azov nazis will liquidate him, and the globalist thieves will give the go ahead. Nobody needs him at that point. He’s riding the tiger, and can never dismount.
So are you ready to admit its a fake war yet?
24 minutes? I can do it in 22. Pointless to talk to Ukraine, I’d call Putin. Winter is coming and there will be no offense from the Ukrainian side. Russia has no reason to end this police action.
President Trump has better things
to do than to visit the green pip-squeak!
The Zelensky curse! Nope. A visit with
Zelensky usually means the end of
your political career.
Just ask BoJo Johnson, Liz Truss,
Slovakia x President..I am sure there are
more😂
The TIME article was right.
Zelensky is delusional.
Bat-sh!t crazy😜
Everything he said during the
interview…think the opposite
and that is closer to the truth💁🤷♀️
Loved her question on how
does he deal with everything 🤣🤣
that was THE best part of
the interview…….
I didn’t watch..just read the
transcript….did he sniff or appear
to have “allergies “?
👃👃 🍬🍬 (nose candy) 😁😁😁
Delusional or just so strung
out he has no sense of reality?
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️🤷♀️💁
Trump, when reelected, wouldn’t waste his time with Zelenskyy. He would only “talk” to Putin as the US began a “drill baby drill” policy once again and oil prices crashed to earth at $20/barrel.
Say “Moose and Squirrel” for me Volodymyre.
Kristin Welker……..what an awful person.
She’s got that psycho look common among Dem gals recently.
Like Hochul, Whitmer, Hobbs…
All I’m getting out of what Zelenskeyy said was….”Give me MORE MONEY !!!”.
Zelensky did not listen to Trump during that famous, perfect phone call that was the catalyst for the first ridiculous impeachment.
Zelensky can try all he can to convince Trump that the war cannot be ended in 24 hours but you know Trump. He would tell Zelensky, “Ok, I’ll end it in 48 hours.”
Trump definitely should not deign to pay that rat Zelensky a visit.
Minsk Accords anyone?
IMO Nuke Kiev – when ZELENSKYY is next holding Court for the WEF Mouthpieces and then Davos next!
I’ve said my Amen after listening to Kenny Rogers sing:

Kristen Welker irritates me to no end but I just don’t know what to do about it? Advice, please. And don’t say “Just don’t watch her” because sometimes you have to watch some of these interviews.
Now I have a sure fire plan H. If that doesn’t work I have plan K up my sleeve. I also have an open ticket to a place with no extradition and I hope I don’t get whacked by my own people before that. Be of good cheer people we are winning.
Well, I see things a bit differently than most. The state department is trying to figure out how to end this situation in Ukraine. Joebama is an albatross now, and perhaps this is a real offer. If Trump took this up, it would have to be in a 3rd party country, maybe Helinski, again. This could get interesting.
Nah, just meet at the South and North Korean DMZ…Un would be happy to host…and the Pravda would be apoplectic! 😉😆😆
The average age of frontline Uke soldiers right now is 43. Let that sink in. In the US military almost nobody on the front line
is over 40 except maybe the Colonels and senior Sergeants Major. That means that an entire generation is gone. And for what, exactly? To retake territory that seceded to escape ethnic discrimination and restart the abuse? That seems to be the DoS plan in Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh too. No wonder everyone’s moving away from America’s Globohomo orbit.
He spends a lot of time with his beautician.
Not enough.
“I think that is most important. I think it’s important in the United States and EU, the attitude of just ordinary people. It’s their support. It’s their money. It – it depends on
them.“
We “ordinary people” never gave our support and our money was used against our will. Zelenskyy has no intention whatsoever of ever helping to stop the Ukrainian meat grinder, it’s too profitable for him and others. The amount of disdain and hatred that Zelenskyy and Welker show towards President Trump (and us) is proof enough that they want their money laundering operation to continue indefinitely. They can go to hell along with resident Xiden and his “administration.”
over 100 billion hard-earned US dollars have flowed into this corrupt shit hole. our dollars pay for their pensions, their fire department, their police all their agencies and I ask why? zelenskyy is a clown, and he is making a mockery of our country with the help of Joe Biden.
I almost feel bad for him. Almost. He’s got blood on his hands regardless of whatever occurred on the front end of it don’t get me wrong. But the whole purpose of pulling out of Afghanistan looking back now was clearly to satisfy certain factions on the left so that this administration could get the green light internally to mix it up with Putin passively through Joes little hustler friend here. Even he’s realizing by now they’ve become entirely dependent on us which he knows won’t last forever. Don’t think he doesn’t have the videos burnt into his mind of what the pullouts looked like in Saigon or Afghanistan without any warning. I don’t believe for even a minute that he’s got any direct contact to Joe because he’s not nearly polished enough to keep points of conversation above the legal threshold where they need to be or understand the concept of talking gangster in code through euphemisms. I believe he’s only dealing with a low level staffer because he’s too likely to talk all crazy down the road. And finally he already sees where this is going to end up. Him with nothing but his you know what in his hand to fight Putin with. I don’t wanna make excuses for him or imply he’s innocent but he was undoubtedly used as a designated dummy and its wrong to create this kind of dependency on us.
Zelensky obviously thinks he’s going to be able to continue the grift with Donald Trump the same way he has with Bi dung, but he’s in for a rude awakening. Still, I have to smile because even Zelensky can see that Bi dung is on borrowed time.
It may be impossible for anyone outside of a small group in the US and Ukraine govts to know their big picture strategy in this conflict but if VZ is any indication, there is none.

There’s another way to interpret this.
He (Zelensky) publicly scoffs at a peace meeting with Putin. Then he publicly (two times now) mentions President Trump, and the second time he brings up Trump and a peace deal, he asks to speak to him in private.
Hmm.
Could that mean that what he would say in private would be a lot different than what he is saying in public?
Also, why can’t he say what he would say to Trump, when he has the US airwaves to do it? Could it be he knows the media is corrupt?
Remember, it was a phone call between Trump and Zelensky that got Trump impeached, and Zelensky has a pretty good idea of exactly what happened behind the scenes.
Behind closed doors with Z? Precisely because the media is corrupt!
So tired of Welker’s mean look. What a deeply unpleasant person.
