Trump accuses Ukraine of starting the current conflict

ukraine finding out that kissinger wasnt joking when he said being americas ally is fatal.

The headline is absolutely false. What trump really said is that it is Ukraine's fault they aren't being included in negotiations.

At Mar-a-Lago, he also tried to reinvent the facts around Russia’s invasion three years ago, when Putin’s forces rolled across the border of an independent, sovereign democracy and redrew the map of Europe.

“Today I heard, ‘Oh well, we weren’t invited,’” the president said, referring to Ukraine’s complaints that it’s not been allowed to take part in the nascent peace process. “Well, you been there for three years. You should’ve ended it after three years. You should’ve never started it. You could’ve made a deal,” he said.

Pure uncut copium. What do you mean our actions have consequences!? That RFK Jr. quote at the end really brings it home.

“Vladimir Putin has a black heart. He clearly has Stalin’s taste for blood.”

And Trump’s attack on Zelensky, who was hailed as a hero in the United States for resisting Russia’s Blitzkrieg on Kyiv early in the war

Was he? I mean by the media, yes, but was he that popular amongst the population?

While recent surveys have shown Zelensky’s popularity dropping significantly from the almost universal approval he enjoyed at the start of the war, it’s nowhere near the depths cited by Trump.

Would you be so kind as to link the surveys or state the numbers?

In essence, the president seems to be suggesting that the Ukrainians should have made an agreement with Russia to avoid the invasion — which, in practice, would have involved submitting to a puppet government in Kyiv loyal to Moscow or simply giving up fighting to hand a win to Putin.

Interesting how the actual demand (no NATO) of the russian government is ignored.

Trump’s response to the Saudi talks, which he said on Tuesday could be followed by an in-person meeting with Putin by the end of the month, risked redoubling what was already a victory for the Russian side.

Libs and their obsession with symbolic "victories".
