Trudeau, Trump talk Ukraine as allies fear U.S. withdrawal from war effort

 via globalnews.ca

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump about the war in Ukraine Saturday as European allies fear a withdrawal of U.S. support for Kyiv’s efforts to defend against Russia’s invasion.

The translation?  They want us to provide money, troops and guarantees.  Why can't they do it themselves?  Easy.  Its easier to talk shit about the US while we do the heavy lifting and they sit on their ass than it is for them to actually commit.  Oh and if you don't consider the EU a superpower then you're wrong.

 

It also comes as Ukraine and its European allies fear the U.S. president may scale back its support of Kyiv’s war effort.

Russian and U.S. representatives last week agreed to start working towards ending the war in Ukraine — without Ukrainian representatives at the table. Senior U.S. officials have publicly mused that Ukraine must give up its aspirations to join the NATO security alliance and accept Russia’s seizure of substantial tracts of their country.

This part mystifies me.  Zelensky talked shit about Trump "operating in a disinformation bubble" and now he's using others to talk on his behalf to keep the gravy train rolling even though his CORRUPT ass country can't account for half the money sent and all kinds of high ranking officials now have new mansions and stacked bank accounts?

 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that his country would not accept any outcome of talks that Kyiv wasn’t party to.

This part irks too.

I wish to God that Trump would call his bluff and arrange a peace deal with Russia.  I dare Zelensky to walk away and if he did then we say "fuck'em".

I'd pay good money to see that.  Hell do that and they can keep that 5K from DOGE savings!

Anyway read this whine and cry fest here.
