No one should trust him, but Volodymr Zelenskyy just caved.
Posting to Twitter (X platform) the Ukraine President delivers the following message:
“I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”
~ Volodymyr Zelenskyy (link)
Too convenient. Not buying the sincerity. Let’s watch what happens.
Just saw a “bulletin” text on our cell phone – the Turd of Omaha just announced that President Trump’s tariffs are a declaration of war –
I know that Buffet’s comment is not about Zelenskyy but I believe the “nattering nabobs” (h/t Safire, Agnew) are going to include Turd’s comment in the discussion about the President’s speech tonight . . . see how that works? To counteract that President Trump is a man of peace, “but look here, Turd said his tariffs are a declaration of war, so whadda ’bout that?”
I say the “Turd” of Omaha because I can’t think right now what would be a good substitute for “Sage” . . .
the Turd was a big factor in gutting out our industrial base right from the get-go with the namesake of his company, Berkshire-Hathaway as the first gutting out and all that work went elsewhere . . .
I would say that Buffet’s gutting out of good union jobs in America was a declaration of war all those years ago against US!
So, Buffet, you’ve made all that money over the years for yourself and your investors, do you mind terribly much if the rest of us make a living and are able to provide for ourselves and our families? How is this any skin off YOUR nose?
After Buffet had Obama block pipelines from Canada in favor of his railroad, he went on Chinese TV and sang “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.”
This guy has been a Robber Barron, using the government’s monopoly on force against his competitors forever.
And then there’s AIG getting bailed out and GEICO using the police to enforce their product uptake.
Look in the dictionary under Crony Capitalism or Fascism and his picture will be there.
Screw him.

Buffet is a Wolf in Sheeps clothing. His Mothers maiden name is Stahl. Yet he tries to erase all existence of her from the internet. He is Tribe.
I never saw the sheep’s clothing. Just a wolf, sucking the government teat to turn it against his competitors. And yes, he is Tribe. Tribe enough to make Abraham (The OG TRIBE liar and crook) himself proud.
article on Buffett nearly 20 years ago, hard to find. “the Baptist and the Bootlegger”…both referring to Buffett.
Full exposure that even back then he would have gone bust, have been ruined at least 3 times had he not had insider information and had he not had a Soros like influence on imposing regulations that destroyed his competition and have him an inside track on new industries birthed by those regulatory policies in which he could invest early
Great article…if you can find it
Modest Omaha residence is not accurate. Not the humble business man trope he likes to have disseminated about himself.
Correction…apparently closer to 15 years ago.

One of the more eye-opening articles I have ever read.
Trump Orders Zelenskyy Be Sent To Bed Without His Supper To Think About What He’s Done buff.ly/flFtyoK
Too late.
Move along, riff-raff.
Trump !!!
What about President Trump’s demands to hold an election. Has President Trump changed the deal?
I don’t care if Zelensky is elected Pope and President of Ukraine!
Can we please just keep our money, President Trump, and get F out of that shithole?
And out of Europe entirely. Just came from a European site and boy are they ever butt hurt because President Trump isn’t going to support them in the manner they’ve become accustomed to over the decades. Real American hate fest over the She-Hitler declaring that the EU will form its own military. As if.
Free medical care GONE euro commies when you have to pay for your own defense!
I agree. I don’t care what he does and where his personal aspirations go from here. That’s for him and what’s left of Ukraine to figure out. I just want US out. I’ve told EVERYONE in my life from the get-go, this is ethnic Slavic bullshit, and we do not need to be involved. We have as much business there as Russia would in a border between the US and Mexico. Not our turf.
This is all Obama‘s fault, every last sunken Muscova . Except they are fellow humans, and they didn’t deserve this. Ukrainians are the nicest people I know. Slavic traditions remind me very much of northern American traditions like Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota. They are damn good people overall a religious, and moral lot. I personally appreciate what we did, Biden could’ve done a lot more, a lot quicker, a lot more efficiently. He drug it out on purpose so Trump would have to take care of it. I just can’t imagine what Trump would have done had he seen the buildup on the border. Biden sent Harris to Ukraine, well, that was useless.
Minnesota are nice people? The state appears to be ultra woke. I call that evil.
I don’t think President Trump can tell the national leader to have elections, and make it stick
Trump wants a deal. He’s not going to sabotage the deal by asking the impossible.
The Zelensky owners caved: those EU financiers, English, French politicians, banking families, USA neocons….for now…vut they will never give up in their hearts.
They plan to double-cross the US at the first opportunity.
THIS
Not if we just walk the F away!
Zelensky realized or somebody told him, those 10 that met with him hold zero power over President Trump. He chose wrong.
Still no tie.
only for klaus. only for klaus.
Yes, only for klaus. Satan. Shows where his allegiance and heart is.
This is a presidential 10 inch putt. 🙏✝️🙏
The Zelensky owners – those EU financiers, English, French politicians, banking families, USA neocons- caved for now…but they will continue their devious scheming.
Zelensky better watch his manners, his patrons won’t put up with another public misconduct. Next meeting with PT, a suit should be mandatory for Zelensky, that carefully orchestrated look of him…as if he was a military comander fresh from the battlefield won’t work.
Suit or not, I don’t want him to pollute our White House!
Looks like he’s gonna go for a run.
Z still mentions ‘security guarantees’ & never explicitly says, but we know he wants our soldiers. No way! Get out of that hell hole NOW!
No f*cking way does Trump allow our troops in that mess. Makes as much sense as Putin sending troops to the US-Mexico border. We all need to stay in out damn lanes.
he keeps getting ahead of himself. we all do ,i guess. gotta get everybody to the table to even see if there can be a peace. trump could even tell putin to get all the way out of ukraine or europe will be burning our lng instead of paying him for his gas. and does anybody remember reagan telling europe way back then not to hook up to russian gas?
Notice that too and a couple ot hers in the counching of his words.
I think there are 50 nations represented in Ukrainian military. I’m not sure what they all do.. I did see a report on an American unit fighting right on the front, all ex military. Unanimously dislike Putin.. and I know there’s a Belarusian unit.
This psychotic drug addict is clowning us. No deal. We want to drop out of NATO. This is the best policy.
that is true. that is best for us. it may happen. the E.U. keeps arresting people for free speech violations and we should vamoos.
Their speech is against all the rapists and 3rd world criminals in their countries. Their leaders are siding with the criminal invaders.
Regardless of its effect on international politics, I would love to see that smug little f*c*er forced into cocaine withdrawal. His sense of invincibility would be greatly diminished. Cocaine + media and Eurotrash leaders kissing his ass = ONE SMUG LITTLE F*CKER.
He probably just should’ve left at the beginning of the war and took the plane out that they offered him let Russia take over. Instead, he chose to fight helicopters, airplanes, tanks, and crazy soldiers who stole toilets for their mother. And so did every citizen that had any ability. Putin started this war because Obama and Joe Biden let him.
Lol. For a brief moment, I thought you were talking about Trudope!
I’m thinking the Trump administration told Ukraine in private either publicly agree by the State of the Union address or risk being cut off permanently.
So they agreed. Better late than never.
remember ‘son of a bitch,they did it’. only america as a whole benefit’s, not just the biden crime family.
Funny that involved Ukraine too🤔
i feel that the outburst and all is planned out……and coming back to the table is part of the original plan….he went into the first meeting after meeting with several leaders ……so this is deeper than it looks…..in the past…….they went to great lengths to set up trump for failure…after the covid thing , phone call thing, assasination attemps….i would’nt put anything past the cabal…it’s time to play dirty….they are foreign actors…..use the 911 tools against them like they did trump…..poetic justice
Zelenskyy has to ditch the Napoleon complex: Gutfeld
Here’s a wild thought.
What if PT threatened to form a new alliance outside of NATO called the Trump Doctrine Alliance beginning with possibly Italy, Hungry, Poland, Argentina and any other country who commits to the following in their country’s constitution or charter.
1) Adopting our Bill of Rights and guaranteeing these freedoms and liberties for all of their citizens as God given rights
2) Free & Fair Elections using one day voting/counting, citizens ID, paper ballots,no machines and very limited mail in voting
3) Border security whereby they set annual limits of immigrants and entrance is based on merit.
4) Fair trade with members whereby there is no trade dollar disparity/deficit amongst members
5) Term limits for all elected politicians with elections every 4-6 max
6) Agreement to not expand your current borders
7) Agreement to spend a min of 3% of GDP on defense
8) Agreement that the dollar is the primary currency and the currency is backed by precious metals, no Central Banks
9) Agreement not to support the WHO, WEF or Green Energy until it is viable to compete with Clean Coal, Gas and Oil
10) Agreement that the fundamental principles and decisions made focus on benefiting the citizens first & foremost always
11) Agreement that any leader caught undermining these core principles will be deported never to return.
My bet is in short order Trump would have 50+ nations signed up and NATO as we know it crumbles.
It is a sweet dream. A dream, but a dream from which I wouldn’t want to wake up.
That is a cool idea, and I appreciate all the thought that went into it. They would have to have a base moral code like religion in order to make things happen. In God we trust.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a puppet. Ukraine is a pawn. Neither the country nor the leader really has any say or influence.
The war is between Russia and the West, which the United States leads. Those are the belligerents who will hammer out a peace agreement. And Zelenskyy will just shut up and smile.
Its not making sense to me. Europe just handed him 800 billion!
Him?
They just laundered €400B back to themselves.
Great picture of “Skeptical Vlad.”
I don’t see an apology in this statement.
That’s right. Stark omission
Haven’t read the 500+ comments yet, but two thoughts:
1) Z’s already full of suggestions how the “deal” should proceed with stuff about air limitations. I don’t think that will set well with our VSG.
2) “Step towards a security guarantee.”
Nope. Step AWAY, Z. You’re beclowning your sorry rearend yet again.
Russia -$72 TRILLION worth of rare mineral resources…Ukraine is a fraction of that.
Ukraine ‘s soils are fertile due to a lack of rare earth minerals!
Maybe sunflower seeds, potatoes or wheat will work.
Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, talked about Keir Starmer’s plan to keep arming Ukraine after peace is agreed.
She said, “Well, it’s like getting a kleptomaniac pedophile a job as an accountant in a kindergarten after treatment and punishment.”
I gather that Russia would not approve of continuing to arm Ukraine…….LOL!
Community Organizer Obama is working in the background to undermine President Trump in any way he can. Best to make a 100% clean cut with Ukraine now and close the door soundly. Let the others simmer in their own mess.
Sex trafficking of children and Frankenscience plague development in Ukraine labs are going to be exposed in Ukraine.
Swamp sweating.
Hoping it happens soon, President Trump has so much on his plate and it’s hard telling what these cornered rats might try in the meantime.
..
History sometimes (often?) isn’t what is written in books…
Another facet of the Ukrainian gambit…
“We are ready to work (fast) to end the war, and the first stages (Zelensky named the few) – Can he dictate those?
“Then we want (to move very fast) through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
Q : what are “all” likewise “next” stages.
What if Putin does not agree?
No sincerity : “Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way.” No apology, just ‘regrettable’ the way it happened – was not what it was supposed to be (what was supposed and for which side)?
Same old tune, expressed differently/ambiguously “Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a (step toward greater security- what kind of security?) and (solid security guarantees).
Again, Guarantees, and solid (stipulated)
Did not all the willing coalition members stepped up to guarantee support to fight the war “will put boots on the ground and planes in the air to create the security guarantee for a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire” – per Starmer’s announcement and that Britain will (lead) this coalition. Starmer and this EU ‘coalition of the willing’ are only willing to put their military into Ukraine (with stipulation) USA will guarantee to come into the conflict if the ceasefire falls apart. You don’t get to dictate to the current Leader of the Free World.
Go ahead wannabe next Leaderof the Free World.
No, too little too late Zelenesky. Go fact-check your rare earth stockpile and which and how much are actually under Ukraine’s control.

It’s always about either money or power – and often both. Tom looks at the financial implications associated with the London Conspirators and how it can be used to apply pressure by PDJT.

Even Z-man is smart enough to figure out the Euros are useless losers.
Think he just learnt the President runs the only game in town. He was convinced Congress in charge of everything.
can’t wait for the next zelinsky tantrum
Not a single mention of Israel. Makes me wonder if President Trump is intentionally keeping a lid on something big about to happen. Also, no mention of Steve Witcoff’s efforts in that area, not even of his role in helping secure Fogel’s release.
Z had no choice. Trump stopped all money, arms and U.S. satellite use, to the Ukraine. There was nothing left to wage war with. EU help was all phony bluster with nothing to back any of it up, no money, no troops…nothing.
Honestly, this is a E.U. problem. They want to talk like a super power, then let them,act like one.
I feel for the average Ukrainian. Their warlords and grifters are even worse than our Democrats, who love them so deeply.
“Regarding the agreement on minerals AND SECURITY, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time…”
This little creature still doesn’t get it.
Has he signed anything yet?
Someone has to pay for Ukraine’s bureaucrats’ salaries and pensions.
He seemed to forget to make an apology for his outrageous and ungrateful behavior
There are people saying Zelensky has already signed a 100 year agreement on rare earth minerals with the UK. And others are saying he was met with articles of impeachment when he returned home. How can we know if any of this is true? And if it is, what kind of charade is Z setting up this time? I think elections in Ukraine should be mandatory before any agreements with USA. I want to see what the remaining population of Ukraine has to say (after so many evacuated the country), and show by their vote. And who the opposing candidates are.
