The War in Ukraine
Today's meeting at the White House between Trump and Zelensky may have been a turning point in the war.
Today President Trump and VP JD Vance met with Ukrainian President Zelensky at the White House. It did not go well for Volodorymyr. VP Vance even had to put him in his place saying to his face what many Americans were thinking.
The next move in this war now belongs to Vladimir Putin and Russia. My guess is that it’s been intimated that Russia would get to keep the Donbas region and return to the pre-war borders outside of that concession. The US gets a “a partnership” with Ukraine for minerals and Ukraine gets to keep its country. The EU and Ukraine get to whine about the fairness of this solution but when push comes to shove - neither will be willing to write the necessary check to allow them to do it in any other manner.
The world is getting to see the side of Donald Trump as the tough negotiator that made him famous in the first place. All that was missing today was chants of USA! USA! USA! breaking out spontaneously. Also don’t think it was a coincidence that England’s PM Keir Starmer visited the White House today and Trump joked about how England could never take on Russia without American help.
The important thing is the war was addressed and the Trump Administration viewpoint of the war was made clear. No more money for Ukraine - no matter how much Zelensky whines. Look for this to even become political capital for the Trump Administration as the idea of using DOGE government savings to rebate to the taxpayers all the money that was sent to Ukraine.
USA! USA! USA!
