Fable one: Trump is appeasing Russia?
Who wiped out the Wagner group in Syria? Who sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany not to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II deal?
Volodymyr Zelensky took a major step on Tuesday toward mending ties with President Trump, issuing what amounts to a tacit apology for what he called last Friday’s “regrettable” White House slugfest. The question now is whether Mr. Trump will take yes for an answer and put comparable pressure on Vladimir Putin to negotiate a durable peace.
SO much has already been written and said about the disastrous White House meeting between Trump, Vance and Zelensky that you might think there’s nothing more to add. But two important points may have been missed by most of the supposed ‘experts’ and various talking heads.
The decision comes after Trump criticized the Ukrainian president on Monday after Zelensky claimed that “an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House was a total disaster, where the European leader tried to use the same playbook, he masterfully used to max out aid with Biden, on President Trump.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not grasp—or deliberately ignores—the bitter truth: Those with whom he feels most affinity (Western globalists, the American Left, the Europeans) have little power in 2025 to help him.
