After a bitter rift with Donald Trump left many in Ukraine fearing that the US president had swung behind Russia again, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the dispute head on: there’s nothing personal between me and Trump, he told CNN, but cozying up to Vladimir Putin would only “make him stronger.”
Ties between the US and Ukraine have badly deteriorated in recent weeks.
Zelensky said Trump was “on the wrong side of history” after he announced a deal to buy Russian fuel, upending international efforts to isolate Russia. Trump then waived some sanctions against Russia, drawing criticism even from his own party. Ukraine’s forces found their access to the Elon Musk-run Starlink service restricted.
Speaking to CNN from Kyiv on Thursday, Zelensky took a conciliatory tone, saying the tensions were “not about personalities” – but warned that Putin had no intention of stopping the war.
Trump hates Zelensky for not helping him cheat in the election with biden. He carries grudges to the grave and is one of the most vindictive narcissists I’ve ever seen.
No. As Zelensky said there’s nothing personal. trump was blocking aid to Ukraine even before that. Trump’s first impeachment was over blocking Congress’ approved aid. The Congress investigation regarding election interference showed that there was agreement between trump’s campaign and Russia that if he wins he will allow to install puppet government in Ukraine. Manafort (his campaign manager) was central part of it.
If you look what effort trump puts to help Russia looks like there are only those possibilities:
More and more looks like it is #3 and not just him but other Republicans (and probably some Democrats too).
I mean there’s the election in two weeks that he appears to care about, yet he comes openly pro Russia (couldn’t he wait few weeks?).
Then there’s outrage, points fingers at others when starlink was stopped, he backs down (restores intelligence sharing and starlink, though keeps removed sanctions).
You can get trump to do anything fairly easily. He’s a demented malignant narcissist and he’s one of the dumbest MFs I’ve ever seen. Those things make it child’s play to manipulate him. This is why they want him in power.
That’s what Manny leaders in Europe thought, yet it didn’t work. No matter what he always sides with Russia.
I think what confuses people is that they mixing up what he says with what he does. Those are two very different things.
Latest example:
He might seem to act randomlu but if you start asking yourself if given move benefits Russia, then he is so predictable, because it always does.
Yeah, this is the main thing that has made me really start believing it’s blackmail. It’s such a nonsensical move that I can’t justify it any other way than blackmail.
He shouldn’t have been allowed within a million miles of any Ukraine policy decision. Congress should have stepped in and cut him completely out of the picture. He was impeached for what he did with Ukraine already!
A complete abdication of governing on the part of Congress.
Because governing America means sending missiles to Nazis.
You sound like John Bolton.
Is this ANOTHER new account? Good lord you really just can’t seem to keep them, can you?
What are you talking about? You are aware that Trump was impeached by Congress for his scheme to get Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden.
That is what I am talking about. The fact that Trump should not be making policy decisions about Ukraine after being impeached for corruption related to Ukraine.
Please tell me you are not one of the pro Russian big bad NATO and Ukraine Nazis forced poor Russia to attack low effort propaganda losers. Because if you are we can just stop talking now.
.ml instance username means that is exactly who they are. For future reference.
Because there’s nothing dirty about his crackhead failson being a Ukrainian LNG executive. Right.
This is everything you need to know about Western aggression against Russia. America fostering fascism abroad started a long time ago.
Stop talking anytime.
My god. Please stop. I don’t like .ml chodes but something just doesn’t feel right about watching you hurt yourself like this in front of others.
“Calmer than you, Dude.”
For the love of god, please take your own advice.
Oh yeah, Ukraine is known for its corruption. I actually studied this and it was really interesting. Basically during the time of the USSR professionals didn’t really make very much so it became common to tip/bribe me. This bribing culture still exists to this day in Ukraine, but it really is cultural as opposed to just pure corruption.
Also, America fosters fascism in every country in the world so there is not a safe spot and Russia and China have both been heavily influenced by US fascism. The picture is so much more complex than you believe. You picked a side, which to my assessment, is pretty fucking silly. The only side you should be on is that of humanity. Fuck the new unspoken alliance between Russia, US, and China. You really need to catch the fuck up.
My side is the one not sending missiles to fascists, or anyone else. Silly?
Bullshitting yourself is not a very good look.
America is directly arming over 80% of the world’s dictatorships, making us the least democratic nation on Earth.
You’re the one bullshitting yourself to think any of this is about democracy.
