  2. Shame on you European Union how you treating your followers whatever you doing always bureaucratically it's too late. Shame on you After all. It's immediately clear that you're afraid of Putin and Russia.

  5. Estonia beltics and others creaping closer defence spending over 5% wen will lazy usa match own spending to 5%

  8. When Trump said, "you dont have the cards" he was alluding to the fact that Russia could continue to destroy the Ukraine and there is no benefit to the Ukraine to continue the war.
    Zelensky knows if the war ends he will no longer be president and then there will be an accounting of the $B of US/EU dollars siphoned off to his buddies.

  9. The deal had already been agreed to by Zenlensky himself and he was at the White House to sign a deal that had already been agreed upon. All of Europe and our NATO alliance keeps spouting how President Trumps turned his back on the NATO alliance he has not. I find it funny how the European Union keeps regurgitating the rhetoric about article 5 an attack against one is an attack against all ! I hate to tell ya but Ukraines not a NATO member state

  10. Remember the false flag attack on the Russian attack on Poland perpetrated by the Ukraine? If Russia purposely or inadvertently strikes NATO the US must respond. Americans dont want war with Russia, or anyone else. We want peace, we want trade, we want freedom.

  13. Abrupt? Where have you been the whole campaign season?
    He run on ending the stupid spending for a war which was lost a long time ago.

  20. Because everyone now knows Zelensky already signed those mineral rights to the UK. Trump isn’t going to pay for security of someone else’s assets.

  21. Just an FYI! If NATO starts fighting in the Ukraine war against Russia, NATO cannot activate article 5 so the United States has to join the war. Do you know why that won’t work? Article 5 can only be activated if a NATO country gets attacked! Ukraine is not a NATO country! That means NATO could go in all by itself without American help. Do me a favor read the article 5 for yourself.

  23. Teachers and doctors need to get paid by their own country, or work for free for their own country. Why should another country pay for it? And it is not just teachers and doctors there are literally thousands of bureacrat parasites in every system. we have our own parasites, why should we pay for yours?

  24. Its very normal for US because they are always invading other countries
    So suck with it Europe
    Better make peace with Russia because Russia is not going anywhere hate them or like them they are your neighbours

  27. Zelensky realized he made a huge mistake when he thought he had options only to realize all the EU was going to give him was lip service. What they always do. Talk big and do nothing.
