So Zelensky doesn't want the deal as offered? Then change it and give him less! Let's dispense with the formalities right off the jump, shall we. Russia was the aggressor. OK fine. Zelensky had the support of most of the world and with good reason. Putin was invading Ukraine and that was an act of war. I get it. But make no mistake about it, as time passed Mr. Z was getting exactly what he wanted, too. MONEY! If someone gave you 360 BILLION dollars and tons of top flight weaponry you should be able to hold off a nutjob who was using weapons from 60 years ago!Unless... unless that money (or a huge chunk of it) was going somewhere besides the war effort! That is exactly what I am convinced has happened in Ukraine! Zelensky is up to his hip pockets in graft and corruption! He and a few others in the Ukrainian government are siphoning off the top, bottom, and middle of the stack. Change my mind if you can.
Putin is not my favorite dictator. Neither is Zelensky. But make no mistake, both ARE dictators. Dictators have one goal in mind no matter what country they are in charge of...putting money in their own pockets at any cost. These two are no different.
The problem, as I see it, is that Putin has no intention of giving back the land he has taken so far in this war and Z has no chance whatsoever of forcing him to. There will be NO WINNER in this war. Millions of men, young and old alike, have died. For what? So Putin can look like the big shot leader to the people in what is left of Russia? So Z can look like a patriot to the people of Ukraine all the while lining his pockets with American taxpayer money as their sons and fathers die in vain? Spare me your sanctimonious, self-righteous posting of the yellow and blue flags on your FB pages. Keep your virtue signaling to yourselves. I do not stand with Ukraine or Russia. I stand with Trump and Vance as they keep that idiot dictator in check!
Zelensky better wake up and smell the bodies piling up across his country. He had the opportunity to make a great deal that would have kept Russia at bay for a long, long time but he got greedy. Now it is off the table. No more deal. UNLESS... unless he comes back to Trump, hat in hand and not his hand stuck out for more money, ready to apologize for being an idiot. Then MAYBE he has a chance to bring this senseless war to an end and stop the killing. Otherwise he cane take a hike and take his chances. By the way...Ukraine will never get into NATO. It has no business there. To allow them in would be to invite WWIII.
