Cut off all power, whether liquid or electricity, to eukraine.
zelenskyy, the Net Zero hero!
Things are getting so bad for Zelinsky, he is asking Kimberly Guilfoyle for advice.
LOL! Almost lost me coffee on that one Matt!
Good one! 😂
Turn off the satellites.
No more Starlink.
Blind their drones.
Full EU embargo until the war is over and it’ll be done in 24 hours.
–“eukraine”–
I like it! And it is oh so true.
86 / Zelensky
What does that mean?
J Comey
😂
Randomly found on Steve’s keyboard…
Just stood with the EU leaders and praised them as Real leaders. Infering what.
Called Brown-nosing when I was a kid!
Go Big Red!!
Rah, Virginia Mil!!
Drop one or two of those Big Beautiful Bunker-Buster Bombs on Z.
There, I solved the problem.
He is not worth two bunker-busters.
Two bullets in the head is fine.
Little Z needs to study history.
First our government supplied Saddam Hussein with weapons and then they killed him.
First our government supplied Osama bin Laden with weapons and then they killed him.
First our government supplied Muammar al-Qaddafi with weapons and then they killed him.
First our government supplied Volodymyr Zelenskyy with weapons and then (to be continued).
Monkeys are cheap. The organ grinders would just buy new a one.
Maybe it’s better to let them keep this one lest they find one that can actually dance well.
Time to send in the Bad Boys… Venezuala the Nazi
Z-boy is saying that he doesn’t need America’s help. So let’s disconnect everything. No more Starshield, no more intelligence sharing.
The next step is to tell the EU that anyone who helps Ukraine will be subject to 100% tariffs and have their government visas denied. No more trade, no more eurotrash globalists coming over here to bribe congressmen. Force these people to choose a path. I hope they choose Ukraine, as that would make it easier and faster for the US to disconnect from the failing EU and NATO.
That’s weird. I meant to leave this comment on that earlier post about Z-boy resuming attacks on refineries. Oh well, that’s what I get for having several tabs open so early in the morning. Sorry for the comment spamming!
Just disconnect the EU and ask “the putin” to simply stop all fuel to EU and GB.
Pipeline maintenance.
Trump: Challenge accepted.
Zelensky gave the order to his Nazis to blow up the pipeline as the Ukrainian Nazi appeared in court. His lawyers stated that the orde3r to blow up the pipeline came from the “Ukrainian Govt’ ergo he could not divulge much about it to his military orders.
Russia was the country accused and slandered of that act. The media is obviously not interested in that story but what about Germany?
I suppose they fund the war criminal who blew up their pipeline – is this a joke?
I’m glad to hear Trump point out the monstrous loss of life in that war, especially for the Ukes. After this is all over, there won’t be enough men left to repopulate and effectively manage Ukraine. The guys who have survived until now are often left in bad shape, unable to work like they could before.
And for what? For yet another bankers’ war? The bankers would sacrifice the entire world to Mammon if it meant putting their ledger sheets back in black. It’s time to put a stop to the genocide and instead focus on eradicating the money worshipers.
5 million Uke’s fled their homeland during the first couple of weeks at the start of the war. USA got a couple hundred thousand. Send them home
Why?
They got the H out.
Wouldn’t you ?
SOP for all (real) refugee situations:
– Refugees must stop in first safe place, not “where moar monies.”
– End the conflict
– Refugees go home and not stay forever.
They will not ‘assimilate’ any better than a Muslim.
Some already have and paid for it with her life.
If I remember Ukrian ladies are generally very pretty.
With such a shortage of men there should be some interesting times ahead.
Just thinking out loud.
I suspect the High-And-Mighty in the Ukraine government, and the crime bosses (maybe I’m repeating myself), are planning on increasing their harems. They may not want outside competition.
Wait til the mooslums find out.
Ukraine as an ongoing separate state and society may be doomed.
You are right – the loss of so many Ukrainian men parallels the loss of
English
French
and
German
men from WW1.
Only worse. Ukrainian society may never recover… though the impact may not be evident for a decade or more… just as the true cost of The Great War was not evident (and for some has never been acknowledged)
For many years.
Call out the real perpetrators and quit giving the Nazi leader credit because the Ukrainian thief is like Auto Pen Joe.
Call a spade a spade
Call me just plain silly but enough of all this worldly bullshit. Roll up all our military worldwide and bring it all home. Line both coasts with the navy and north and south borders with army/marines. Throw all the Muslims and illegals the hell out and take care of ourselves. Prosecute all the fraud and theft of taxpayers. String up all criminal politicians and media. Media first. Sick to death of the nonsense that goes on that we are forced to accept. Like Sundance says, we are in an abuse relationship with our so called government.
It’s well past time to tell judges, “Thank you for your opinion, but you do not make laws from the bench, and you do not make policy.”
Then full steam ahead with MAGA, America First!
That is something I have been wondering about for a while.
What would happen if President Trump just ignored those little Marxists in black dresses.
What do you think would happen? I’ll take a stab at it —
Civil unrest from the blue hairs
Impeachment
First step toward civil war
Famine
Gov and civil services switched off
See where I’m going? We are either a constitutional republic or we are not. Right now it looks like we are not.
“Sundance says, we are in an abuse relationship with our so called government.”
I remember reading somewhere else;
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

That’s great except we still have to import oil because almost all our refineries process the dirty crude or whatever you call it and not our sweet crude.
There is something way off with how he goes on trying to explain this Ukraine/Russia conflict. Tanks taking a wrong turn; Zelensky does not want to settle/Zelensky wants to settle; Obama is cause for Crimea being held by Russia; it was supposed to take one day…old media talking points which have not settled well. Not sure he is being fed the truth of what his supporters really think. He appears far off the mark and uncomfortable trying to explain it. He tells Z to stop hitting the refineries and then re-boots starlink/starshield which allow him to hit the refineries again.
Your influencer is feeding you the wrong informations.
I agree.
He also uses CIA casualty numbers which overstate Russian deaths, although he’s right that its all a waste of lives.
Their also seems to be a bias toward American arms manufacturing. Yes, Big Arms provide good jobs, and we need good modern arms, but we also don’t want to flood the world with weapons. Rumor has it Z-Bag is selling our weapons and drones to Cartels.
I wish RFK were in the Ukraine Loop. He has the best understanding of the NATO Expansion War Machine.
His son was there at the begining is why he has a better understanding.
yes, it is curious. Maybe it’s the proverbial multidimensional chess, but I am ready for some straight up straight talk.
Just the facts.
The only criticism I have, and I know he likes to repeat himself to drive the point home, is his constant statement of how this war would have never happened if he were in charge. I’m sure the Left and Independents have heard it enough, let alone us so it’s been said enough. But it’s water under the bridge this far out and the focus should be on what is happening now, not droning on about the past I dare say it’s a weakening statement at this point in the game.
Also no clarification on whether it was Russia or a false flag on Ukraine’s energy sector which happened prior to the refinery strikes.
This man is My President!
Wonder how much Middle East oil money Ukraine is getting
Or elsewhere besides the EU
Regardless, he won’t be around to spend it swinging from an oak tree…he’s a dead man walking. ‘Only a matter if time…..And Mr. Scott can freeze his assets. In parallel, bring back all the data showing our crooked politicians who were on the payroll. String them all up as well.
King Zelenskyy says we dont need no stinkin elections
The problem isn’t Zelensky. It is the EU/UK. Sanction them.
The problem is both Zelensky and the EU/UK.
Ther are also American soldiers according reports out of Ukraine. There were one or two American soldiers found dead after a Russin bombing run in Kiev a couple of days ago.
Unless they are mercenaries and that wouldn’t be anything new – do we have still rogues in our military?
I used to tune in to Newsmax (establishment “lite” as I sometimes call it), but frankly some of the anchors there make Sean Hannity look good by comparison. And as I’ve observed, Rob Finnerty is one of the worst. He has a lot to say, and it usually doesn’t matter who’s sitting across from him. To him, his questions/talking points are everything and the most important part of any interview. This might pass when interviewing a lesser politician, but not when interviewing the U.S. president.
Any headlines are going to come from whatever the president has to say, not from Finnerty’s talking points. He evidently has strong conservative ideas, but as to technique/talent as a media personality, I find him mediocre at best.
J
It would take an awful lot of bad to make Rock Brain Hannity look good.
Blah Blah Blah, As much as I love and support Trump his biggest problem is he’s soft. Take the little Nazi out.
Trump said he had a deal with Putin and Zelenskyy to stop targeting energy supplies and oil refineries. 54 minutes later Putin took out an energy distribution center in Ukraine. Some deal making. Zelenskyy retaliated and Trump now says Zelenskyy was the one who broke the truce. The amount of diesel Trump supposedly got from Putin is less than two percent of daily world needs. We don’t really need it because we are “energy independent”. The only “solution” to end the war between Ukraine and Russia is for both Zelenskyy and Putin to go so that their successors can settle on the basis of “I am not responsible for what my predecessor did and this is the best possible solution for all of us.”
Putin isn’t leaving soon, he was duly elected and enjoys a high approval rating amongst Russians. Ratface on the other hand, has been illegitimately ruling for almost two years now, and has to use press gangs to kidnap citizens off the streets…
At any rate the loser doesn’t dictate terms to the winner.
In fairness, Z-Bag also assassinates opponents in Ukraine and elsewhere.
Even Utah.
He sure does.
54 minutes later Putin took out an energy distribution center in Ukraine
Zelensky often attacks Ukraine for False Flag purposes such as this.
He’s not trying to win, he’s trying to keep the next paycheck coming.
Trump questioned the source of that attack. Many here are quick to suggest false flags. But when trump public states he’s unsurebof the source i am going with false flag. It does seem to be a pattern of behavior. Crack head behavior, overconfident and underwhelming.
Bruh, who had a more vested interest in ruining the deal, Zelensky (who hated the deal) or Putin (who was set to make $$$)
Zelensky is the king of false flags. Get real.
And little Zboy was trained by the same CIA that established the current Ukraine in 2014.
Why deal with him at all? Just cut of the money and the intel and forget about it.
Should have done that in February 2025. Rubio was ready to walk but we didn’t. I am pretty sure I know why we didn’t but I will keep it to myself.
Rubio was “ready to walk” in February 2025? Then why, pray tell, did Rubio ensure that our President cannot simply “walk” away from Zelenskyy, by co-sponsoring legislation passed in 2024 that explicitly *prevents* our President from exiting NATO without first obtaining prior CONgressional approval?
If Rubio did not realize two years ago that NATO would drag the US into war with Russia, he sure had a funny way of showing it.
You see, in order to blame our nation’s continued involvement in world war reddit by insinuating it all rests upon President Trump’s decisions, we have to “pretend not to know things.” He can only work with what he’s got. Right?
No we needed to end supporting So Called Ukraine. If it meant an all out fight in the Courts, Congress and Senate so be it.
Rubio was ready to walk away. Said it at the time. So Called Ukraine is not part of NATO and never should be! Regardless we should dump NATO.
I’m pretty sure that President Trump agrees we should now exit NATO. If only Rubio didn’t make that an impossibility the moment that President Trump assumed office in 2024, I might have also fallen for his hand-wringing bs in 2025.
It helps when we see things for what they are, and not as we wish them to be.
Yes Rubio made it more difficult to leave NATO but it’s still possible although I don’t see it happening. The support of So Called Ukraine is a different story. It would have been easier to exit in February of 2025. It’s still possible now but I don’t see it happening.
“All’s fair in love and war”
While President Trump’s intent is admirable, it clearly is not practical in war. However much Zelenskyy is a scumbag, it is HIS country that has been invaded with the intent to confiscate and annex it into Russia. Would any self respecting nation accept ‘assimilation’ from an invader? No.
It’s time to tell Europe that this is their war, their neighbor that has been attacked twice in 2014 in Crimea and again in 2022 in Mainland, not America’s and also not NATO’s.
You are pretending not to know things.
Not hardly. Repeating the mantra ‘this is all about money‘ while it may be true (in part) with Zelenskyy today, it does not erase the reality that Russia attacked Ukraine TWICE, with the first having nothing to do with NATO and the second just an excuse by Putin to take advantage of Biden’s weakness.
Had Europe given a darn they would have stepped up in 2014 and filled Ukraine with weapons to prevent 2022’s invasion but instead they typically roll over as was the case in ’56 Hungary, ’67 Czech, ’08 Georgia, and ’14 in Crimea.
Putin is a thug and takes what can be taken
Here’s the reason Russia is in Ukraine.
The-enlargement-of-NATO-1949-2018_cropped_3x2.png (1024×683)
Closer & closer to Russia they get. If this was China getting closer to the United States, and they were discussing joining other nations acting against you, what would you do?
Putin could care less about NATO and has always disregarded them as paper tigers without the means or will to fight any battle without the United States. He knows his reach is far beyond his immediate borders.
So we did not care about missles in Cuba?
Putin had watched the manipulation of the Ukraine for many years the deep state plots and plans the proliferation of bio labs and the baiting of Russian nationalist sentiments through the abuse of Russian expats. This was a cold calculated attempt to draw him into a war to diminish weapons stockpiles and resolve.
Ukrain is not a country it is achess piece being played by the ker players. My heart as our president’s goes out to the people of Ukraine. The women will have to rise up and reclaim their right to life and family. The Men are gone.
I suspect that Putin is not all that worried about the military might of the Western European countries. About all they do is call the U.S. and say “Let’s you and him fight”. At some point the U.S. will need to pack up their stuff and leave them to their own devices. Be nice to see it in my lifetime.
“Let’s you and him fight”
Another key phrase that speaks VOLUMES more than its word count
thanks, Frank
Russia was installing nuclear weapons in Cuba and desperate to find and edge against what they knew was an insurmountable foe and why they retreated. Today both sides have air, land, sea, and space assets to prosecute a war that didn’t exist in 1961.
Russia began subversive activities in Ukraine before the ink dried on the Minsk agreement in 1991 when the Crimean fleet pledged allegiance to Ukraine.
The real battle today is economic, and Ukraine is a key asset in food production, as well as a critical delivery route for the primary means Russia gets hard currency: the sale of oil and gas to Europe.
Not Russians installing missiles but the Soviet Union who did so.
Exactly. It was the communists. In other words, leftist globalists.
We were fighting an ideology then, and we’re fighting that ideology now. (The trouble is, there are more of those people throughout the west now than there are left over there in Russia.)
Putin is in Ukraine because of NATO/Globalist ambitions. Doesn’t look like he is disregarding them to me.
I don’t agree. Russia is in Ukraine to steal land, mineral, oil, and gas resources and to secure the pipelines that extend from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.
NATO has not the will or means to fight. They are underfunded and their military woefully inadequate to do anything other than stand around during ‘peace keeping’ missions. Without the United States NATO is NOGO
He does care about NATO and tried to join when Bill Clinton was President. Clinton was for it at first and someone said NO to Clinton and he dropped it.
“Putin could care less about NATO”
If you honestly believe that, you have an unenviable learning curve ahead.
The vast majority of Russians care greatly about the expansion of NATO.
An aggressive organism that has doubled in size, since the end of the cold war, when it lost it’s raison d’être .
As from the last NATO exercise I was part of , NATO added 10 new member states… Bearing in mind that this was long after the end of the Warsaw Pact and the fall of the Soviet Union.
NATO has become a dangerous destabilizing anachronism, that has been repurposed to serve as an extortion arm to the globalists.
Thank you, Sane Membrane
One huge benefit of our Treehouse community is that members are able to post THE crucial graphic that perfectly encapsulates an issue, having saved it to their files.
Sane Membrane’s map of NATO encroachment on Russia is one such key graphic
One that I often post I forgot to save first time I saw it
I put out an all-points bulletin request “Hey, did anyone save this yada yada I saw yesterday?” and got responses and saved it
On the topic of hysterical leftist complaints about the so-called “Far Right”:
The little zit needs to be popped.
Zelenskyy does not make the decisions in Ukraine… his ‘advisors’ do – EU and European heads of state as well as other financial heads with a profit to be made to prolong the war, are using Ukraine for their own nefarious reasons, specifically making money for themselves….
MF’er was asked by Trump not to bomb the refiners and he did the opposite.
Trump has got to be very angry because of this.
Has any congressman spoken out and agreed with DJT? Anyone from the EU or NATO? The Pope?
We’re supposed to continue sending Z money, weapons and intelligence to him?
How about we send autographed photos of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to Z?
Can’t we just send them instead.
That would be a war crime ;o)
Zelenskyy did just what DJT baited and expected.
DJT = Peacemaker
Z = Hatred filled unelected destroyer of energy for everyone.
I think people are giving Zelensky way too much credit for doing stuff and thinking stuff. He’s not doing anything here. Others are. He’s just a hand-puppet and Trump knows it. The President knows where all of this is coming from, but he won’t say it (yet).
So the bunker busters need to drop on city of London?
What – ignoring Brussels again?
Zelenskyy is the face of the War in Ukraine. Also he loves the camera. Good.
If enough regular Newmax viewers see this interview they might start to notice the “evil Putin/ Zellenskyy is destined for sainthood” that Newsmax pushes – every. single. day.
Check out James Howard Kunstler today.
The conflict in Ukraine is approaching maximum ludicrousness.
Bismarck said in 1888,
“One day the Great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans”.
The old German Chancellor wasn’t wrong.
And (moving the location a bit north and east…
He wouldn’t be wrong now.
difficult to deal with for the exact same reasons Canada is difficult to deal with
CIA/NATO started and has sustained the war.
Presidents count for nothing when there are trillions at stake.
Ukraine could not have fed its men into the wood chipper for long; if NATO/USA had not provided everything needed for a war, It would have been over quickly or would never have started.
The CIA runs things; presidents mean nothing. Zelensky counts for nothing.
He is a bought-and-paid-for hood ornament.
90% of the residents of Crimea voted to return to Russia. Nobody gave it away.
Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine in 1954.
The British have wanted Crimea since they started the Crimean War.
NATO wants Crimea; it would be such a beautiful naval base; it’s part of the creeping encirclement of Russia.
The war has nothing to do with Zelensky hating Putin or Putin hating Zelensky.
Clearly, you have been unable to stop supplying Ukraine with everything it needs to keep the war going, to the last Ukrainian.
Russia also seems unable to win.
There is no substitute for victory.
Ukraine needs to be ended as a country.It was always part of Russia.
The last thing the captive taxpayers of the West need is a ceasefire, and rebuilding of Ukraine with all the financial criminals left in place.
That would be as stupid as the endless rebuilding of ”palestine”and funding somali learing centers.
The corruption and theft are the main feature of Western ”democracies”and republics.
It’s just about the money: who gets to spend other people’s money on whatever they want.
That bit after homerd was unintentional and I cant edit it out

“It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal”Henry Kissinger said in November 1968, after Richard Nixon was elected U.S. president but before he took office: “Nixon should be told that it is probably an objective of Clifford to depose Thieu (South Vietnamese president Nguyen Van Thieu—ed.) before Nixon is inaugurated. Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
Kissinger was a Globalist. Pushed for NWO. Nothing he said is of interest to me.
Nothing personal to you. Just not a Kissinger fan.
Leon Panetta is sickening to listen to on MS Now. I go there just to hear the other side and it’s just painful.
FWIW Russian RT news original source.
Zelinsky trying to cut deal according to WSJ sources (Sin a tors) pushing and presenting deal to cease oil strikes for 100 days in exchange for increased Star Shield targeting ranging deeper into Russia.
“In an article published the same day, the WSJ said that Republican Senators Roger Wicker and Kevin Cramer brought the deal to the Ukrainian leader during their visit to Kiev last Friday. The outlet claimed that it was told by unnamed sources that Zelensky had agreed to the proposal.”
The US Senate and especially the US Senate is all about the war in Ukraine. Why wouldn’t Ukraine hope for a better deal after 3 Nov. In my opinion this is sedition on the part of the US Senate. All of Congress needs to turn over all their financial data and the data for their extended families for public scrutiny. You thought the Big Guy always got his cut? The Big Club always gets their cut one way or another.
Everyone conspiring against a coherent policy by the US President who by the Constitution deals with foreign governments and not bilious, bloated, be-spotted, bulging, buggers engaging in a permanent Bacchanalia.
Anybody even heard of the Senate Ukraine caucus?
Isn’t this new chapter with Zelensky all about the economic and political effects of the Iran war?
From late last year to mid-summer this year, while Ukraine was bombing Russian refineries, Trump was on board with even more $ for Ukraine and was usually complimentary of Zelensky and Ukraine. (While canoodling with Lindsey.)
Then, when the predictably horrible impact of the Iran war became too obvious to skate around, Trump pivoted to a different public position, pointing at Ukraine as “The problem” regarding diesel.
Sundance was been right about Ukraine for years — it’s a sad, dangerous mess of baloney, which Trump’s best dead friend (Lindsey) spent a decade trying to create. Oddly, Trump wasn’t satisfied with having one of those horrible messes on his hands, so he created another one.
May the spirit of Charlie Kirk slap Trump upside the head and spare us more stupidity.
The time is long past due that we should suspend all military and intelligence aid from the corrupt DeepState Zelensky.
