Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hit back at Donald Trump’s accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that Trump is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.
He rejected Trump’s claim that Kyiv could have avoided the war and defended U.S. aid.
Referring to U.S. support—$67 billion in weapons and $31.5 billion in budgetary aid—Zelenskyy dismissed demands for $500 billion in minerals as “not a serious conversation.”
Moscow welcomed Trump’s remarks, further fueling concerns about his foreign policy approach.
Zelensky has been very careful not to burn the Trump bridge prematurely, but Trump's Russia misinformation comments seem to have turned the tide.
Trump was just baiting and waiting, and this response unfortunately likely took the bait (though who can blame him, it's all true). So I think this is the turning point and will give Trump an excuse to lash out by revoking aid, and jointly propose a "peace" treaty with Russia that gives Russia substantial parts of Ukraine.
Hey, he’s also trapped in American disinformation and misinformation bubbles too. Also, he’s extremely stupid so he’ll never realize he’s wrong and too narcissistic to ever admit he’s wrong, so we’re all screwed.
I mean It kinda depends on what Putin has on him. If it's a tape of him molesting Ivanka or Tiffany, or even one of his sons, he'd probably want to keep that hidden forever, even after he attains dictator for life status.
It's probably one of the few things that could actually take him down.
“I don’t like Trump’s flirting with Putin," said 49-year-old Fedir Logvynenko. "I don’t quite understand whether it’s from great intelligence or from complete incompetence."
Hate to break it to you, but it's pretty obviously the latter.
Is that translated? Or, rather, does Fedir speak English?
I got a funny feeling that the translators in global media sound a hell of a lot more competent than Trump. And there's a hell of a lot gained in translation.
Never forget these maga heads with t-shirts that said: i'd rather be russian than a democrat. They don't give a shit, they want their team to win. It's a sport to them. If you have to inject 15 year olds with testosterone maybe win a college football game, hell yeah, better than losing
It's not really fair to criticize privatization of state assets when the country is under attack and running on fumes. It's unfortunately a necessity to keep going. I seriously doubt it would've happened in peace time.
