Let’s post what President Trump said on Wednesday on Truth Social:
It’s always helpful to see what was actually said.
Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of
America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to
start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United
States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed,
while the United States will get nothing back.
Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe
than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits
that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in
Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.”
A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.
In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit
only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring
Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy
has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it
continues……
Not sure what part of that, if any, is untrue.
There was a coup in Ukraine in 2014 in which the usual suspects (neocons Victoria Nuland and John McCain) were involved, following which ethnic Russians in Ukraine lost their language rights. Crimea, which Khrushchev gave to Ukraine in 1954, voted to rejoin Russia, while a civil war erupted when the Donbas, which Lenin gave to Ukraine as an inducement to join the USSR, voted to separate from Ukraine.
Two deals were made to end that civil war, Minsk and Minsk2. Under both, Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine but with greater autonomy. Ukraine agreed to both but implemented neither.
President Zelenskyy’s term was due to end in May 2024.
Elections have been postponed and he remains in power.
The previous day, Tuesday, President Trump made some remarks during a press conference:
“I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given him almost all of the land, everything,
almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished,
and not one dome would have been knocked down… Biden, in all fairness, he doesn’t have a clue
— he was so bad for this.”
Ukraine is not winning this war, and the longer it goes on, the more Ukrainians will die and the more Ukraine will have to give up. But the neocons think it is a cheap way to inflict harm on Russia with someone else doing the dying.
Vice-President J.D.Vance added on X:
For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments:
first, the war wouldn’t have started if President Trump was in office;
second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to
victory.
This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.
And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored.
