  2. Maybe Trump should stop spewing Russian propaganda about Zelensky?

    The fact that any of you think Zelensky has the problem says a lot.

    1. Zelensky has a big problem. The Ukraine is just about done, and he got played by the crooks in Washington who used this as an excuse to launder a hundred billion or so. Professor Mearsheimer put it well when he said “down the primrose path” Who loses now? Not Trump, not the crooks, only Zelensky and Putin. It should be a damage limitation exercise now.

    2. You are serious are you?

      Zelensky doesn’t know where half of the billions of dollars went or he said,he never got.

      This is not a problem?

      3 years to do something or mention this and suddenly it is this problem?

      Do you really believe that?

      That the fact he has off shore accounts, luxury house and stopping elections has nothing to be a problem about?

      1. I believe Z. He didn’t get half a billion in cash. He got it in kind – military equipment.

        What’s the point of going on about about off shore accounts, there are criminals on every side here. Z has outlived his usefulness. Maybe he’ll make a dying declaration and finger Hunter.

      1. Let’s see what the Ukrainian people do when they finally get to vote … you know … “Democracy”. If Zelensky is so righteous … then he will get elected in a landslide. Sadly, he won’t have Jimmy Carter there to “certify” his election …

    4. “The fact that any of you think Zelensky has the problem says a lot.”

      The fact that you don’t says even more about you.

  3. Sometimes, there is no good guy. There is however, lost causes. Very expensive lost causes.

    1. And I hate those who offend then go berserk when called out. You’re (as are way too many Kanadians) like the idiot in the right-side left-turn lane who cuts over into the left-side left-turn lane almost hitting the vehicle beside it. Then flips the bird when the driver in the left-side lane honks the horn.

      1. History is full of these macho “strongman” leaders. They generally end up doing far more harm than good.

  6. Anyone who cant see that elements in the US and NATO used the Ukraine as a proxy war and money laundering operation is simply not worth getting into a discussion with. None as blind etc

  7. My only real curiosity relative to Zelenskyy is where he bought property to live out his golden years. We know he had six off shore accounts. We know he lied when he initially took office by stating that he had removed himself from those accounts (while quietly just transferring them into his wife’s name). We know that one of his partners with those joint offshore accounts purchased a rather lucrative piece of property in a very posh section of London. And, we know that the media never talks about any of the above facts.

    So, where will Zelenskyy land to spend his money is the only thing I’m really interested in. Because, that will say quite a bit about those running the government of that location.

  8. Notice how the rhetoric of the ruϟϟische schweine (and those few Westerners who have a perverted attraction for the human-fancying pigs) has changed from “Russians will just take what’s theirs and the West will do nothing but whine”, which is exactly what a certain prominent schweinie-lover had said on this blog, to “two great leaders will negotiate a deal great for both”.

    Just goes to show how utterly pathetic the Ruϟϟischeschweinen kleptocracy is – acted like they were not afraid to take on the whole world, now cling to hope of riding Trump to their glory like a flea would ride on a tiger’s tail and think no-one would notice the change in attitude. Needless to say, they will fail at that “last shot” just like they fail at everything else, from sports to space. Stopping the US aid to Ukraine, which is the only thing Trump can do, will be of a very little benefit to Russia.

    1. – Stopping the US aid to Ukraine, which is the only thing Trump can do, will be of a very little benefit to Russia.

      No, Trump can also lift all the US (and US enforced international) sanctions. This will be of enormous benefit to Russia.

      1. He cannot. That would require congressional approval, which he won’t get. Democrats will unilaterally vote against it and there will certainly be enough republicans to make that vote a majority.

        2. – He cannot. That would require congressional approval . . .

          The current sanctions on Russia were put in place by Biden’s presidential executive orders under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (starting with EO 14024), without congressional approval. Trump can either end the sanctions with further executive order/s or simply let Biden’s last extention to 14024 expire on 15th April this year. Again, without congressional approval.

          This is my understanding and will remain so unless you can demonstrate a recent change in the law that counters it.

          1. I found this: https://www.justsecurity.org/103743/lifting-russia-sanctions/

            “With respect to Russia sanctions, if a president terminates the national emergency related to Ukraine, subject to limited exceptions, the authority to continue IEEPA sanctions terminates as set forth above, unless the sanctions are in place under a statute other than the IEEPA. If Congress disagrees with the termination, it could conceivably take legislative action (subject to veto and override) to reinstate those actions through a new statute.”

            So you’re probably right, but the sanctions can be reinstated by the Congress.

          2. . . . but the sanctions can be reinstated by the Congress.

            Again, subject to veto and overide. Even if Congress got its own new sanctions package through, Trump can fart about with it since he’s the one who executes the laws. By the time it got to the Supreme Court, Putin will have already had his Triumph (probably attended by Trump).

            Another thing Trump can do is drop all the satellite and other SigInt assistance the Ukrainians get.

  9. The US has no leverage over Russia in Ukraine … none. All of the some 20,000+ sanctions against Russia have failed spectacularly.

    Short of a nuclear war , which would consume us all , there is nothing the US, EU or NATO can do to prevent Russia from achieving it’s goals in Ukraine which they have clearly stated many times since 2022.

  10. A couple of salient points from the two links in the header post.

    The Fox News story is from way down the page. The left wing media are slavering all over this controversy constantly; conservative media are trying to make it go away. This tells you the issue is really not good for Trump.

    Scott Adams admits that Trump’s approach is shocking to many Americans. He’s not talking about lefties, who are still shocked that Trump is not in jail, he’s talking about normies; regular folk who aren’t in political bubbles.

    What you lot (as in the SDA editorial and fans thereof) don’t seem to get (or care about) is that most people out there would think you were nuts if they were ever to come across your viewpoint on this. They all think Russia / Putin is the bad guy, Russia started it, Russia is the aggressor, the destroyer. You don’t have to agree with them but you ought to appreciate that their mainstream viewpoint carries a lot more votes than yours. And they think Trump went nuts on this and, at best, looked like a petulant child having a tantrum.

    Remember, to fully successfully implement the domestic MAGA agenda, the Republicans need to not lose both houses at the midterms. Traditionally their support will drop anyway, so they’re up against it. If Trump looks to the normies like an appeaser, back-stabber and chaos agent on the world stage, they’ll get slaughtered.

    Zelensky, probably inadvertently, may have pulled a masterstroke. By making Trump lash out he has focused attention firmly on Trump’s behaviour. Trump is now in the position of having to actively not look like a Putin stooge. Giving formal recognition to Putin’s occupation just got a lot more difficult.

    1. “What you lot (as in the SDA editorial and fans thereof) don’t seem to get (or care about) is that most people out there would think you were nuts if they were ever to come across your viewpoint on this. They all think Russia / Putin is the bad guy, Russia started it, Russia is the aggressor, the destroyer.

      That’s nice. Still won’t change the inevitable outcome.

      The problem with people like you who get all their information from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, the New York Times, WaPo etc etc is that you never, ever expose yourself to the *other side of the story*, do you? You tell yourself that it is all right-wing disinformation and not worth deigning to look at. That’s why we keep making fools of you: because you are wilfully IGNORANT of the actual facts (and seemingly proud of that, for some bizarre reason). Much smarter people than you and I have analyzed the history of this conflict and documented timelines and occurrences all the way back to the end of the Cold War. They have written many articles on it. They have written BOOKS about it….but you read or watch none of it, so firmly convinced are you of the righteousness of your cause. You are gullible enough to believe everything the MSM tells you, and they know it. They USE people like you to push their narrative, and you blindly obey.

      We (the people who actually understand this conflict) do the opposite: we examine BOTH SIDES of the story in order to get all the facts, not just selected ones that promote a single ‘approved’ viewpoint. We go to these left-wing sources even though they make us laugh (or sometimes feel ill). We know that the ladies of The View are idiots, and the CNN and NBC ‘journalists’ are partisan hacks working for the DNC…we subject ourselves to ideas and viewpoints that are uncomfortable, laughable or even actually *offensive* to us, because unlike you we are not afraid to be exposed to other opinions in search of the truth. Unlike you, when we see lies being propagated by our own side (and yes, it happens) we are not afraid to reject them…we don’t pretend not to have seen them, as you do.

      Feel free to make the ‘appeal to authority’ argument as many times as you like: it STILL won’t change the inevitable outcome. And get ready for some of the warmongers, fraudsters and money launderers to be publicly exposed, investigated and prosecuted. Good times…

      1. . . . you never, ever expose yourself to the *other side of the story*, do you?

        In the very post you are responding to I literally compared left wing and right wing media reactions to the issue at hand. As people used to say before the days of internet keyboards, you should look with your eyes instead of your mouth. The whole of your pompous lecture is ridiculous. In fact, it is so pathetically generic I can only conclude that you’ve copied and pasted it in from some other argument you lost miserably.

        1. ” . . . you never, ever expose yourself to the *other side of the story*, do you?

          In the very post you are responding to I literally compared left wing and right wing media reactions to the issue at hand.”

          Which does not mean that you actually read either one of the stories, thus exposing yourself to [GASP!] other viewpoints (oh, the HORROR!). Nice try.

          ” In fact, it is so pathetically generic I can only conclude that you’ve copied and pasted it in from some other argument you lost miserably.”

          Nope. All original…just getting so sick of your pathetic attempts to blame Putin 100% for everything while utterly ignoring the all the evidence to the contrary. Like I said: give up your steady diet of left-wing BS and maybe READ A BOOK on the subject if you don’t want to come across as such a fool. Ignorance isn’t really bliss…it just makes others laugh at you.

          1. Once again your response is generic; addressing neither the original post nor the specific issues I raised from it. Just boilerplate “you-are-a-left-wing-fool-who-isn’t-all-clever-like-me-because-I-read-a-book-once”. From now on, unless your replies address topical points they will simply be ignored.
