Since the stupid war between Russia and Ukraine has been raging the US has been a staunch provider of weapons and money to Ukraine to help in their conflict….and then we stupidly elected a moron as president and one that has this bromance with Russia’s Putin.
Recently Ukraine has bombed refineries in Russia….and the US will be paying Russia for diesel (what happened to the sanctions against Russia?)
President Donald Trump on Saturday pushed back at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over attacks on Russian oil refineries, warning that he “better damn well stop” and calling for Ukraine to install a new leader.
The remarks marked a sharp escalation in Trump’s criticism of his Ukrainian counterpart and came just one day after Zelenskyy accused Trump of using peace negotiations as a “smokescreen” while striking a deal with Russia to temporarily lift sanctions on its diesel exports.
“Zelenskyy could have settled this war many times. Many, many times. And he chooses not to,” Trump said Saturday. “Very difficult. It’s a war that should’ve never been started.”
Donny has now gotten more verbal in this basic hatred of Ukraine’s Zelenskyy (still would like to know why 2 ‘y’s)….and his latest rant was about the Ukraine president….
President Trump’s relationship with Volodymyr Zelensky may have just hit rock bottom. “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump told reporters on Saturday, reports the New York Times. His remark came after Zelensky criticized the new US diesel deal with Russia, calling it a “sign of weakness” by Trump, per Axios. On Saturday, Trump shot back that Zelensky “wants to make problems for the world” because of his attacks on Russian refineries, and he blamed those attacks for high diesel prices in the US.
Trump said his administration had told Ukraine: “You can do whatever you want to Russia. Don’t hit the refineries because that’s a world problem that’s caused.” Amplifying that point, a US official tells Axios that Ukraine ignored multiple US requests to stop striking the facilities. The remarks landed a day after Trump moved to open US markets to Russian diesel and eased sanctions on those exports through April. Ukraine’s foreign minister, meanwhile, said Zelensky “has the support of the Ukrainian people, and they have the right to decide.”
What a goddamn hypocrite….he thinks the Ukrainian people should decide who their leader should be but not the same is afforded here in the US…..Donny and the Guyz have done all can to make sure they win each election….but yet he spouts crap and I am sure that he has someone on the payroll that he will back if and when the time comes….
Zelenskyy has made his response to Donny’s manure packed statement….
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that he would hold elections in Ukraine if Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a 60-day ceasefire, comments that came after President Trump said Ukraine needed a new president to reach a deal with Russia.
Zelensky’s term expired in May 2024, but he has remained in power because no elections have been held, and he has continued to reject the growing calls within Ukraine to hold a vote.
…
Zelensky also offered criticism of a deal Trump announced that would involve the US importing Russian diesel, calling it a “birthday gift” to Putin that would allow Russia to “kill us, kill our children.”

Donny is making enemies hand over fist….it is what he does….if someone does not kiss his ass then their ass belongs to him.
I have said it before and I will say it again….What a douche!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
.if someone does not kiss his ass then their ass belongs to him. — so are you saying that my ass and yours now belongs to him?
Reading a lot about UKraine that doesn’t get into tme mainstream news, it seems likely that Zelensky would lose an election. There is a lot of resentment and protest about the forcible conscription, men being violently’kidnapped’ on the streets and taken off to the army, and also the amount of corruption in the financial dealings of the Ukrainian elite. I read one translated description of them as ‘The Golden Toilet Oligarchs’, and that seems apt. But I don’t think there is much appetite for giving Russia 20%+ of the country to make peace.
Best wishes, Pete.
