BEFORE and AFTER meeting pictures. Thoughts?

Every European state that tries to convince Ukraine that they should accept a security guarantee that falls short of NATO and relies on the word of Donald Trump--should be required to leave NATO and take the exact same "guarantee". We can then see how much worth it really has.

Sen. Joni Ernst: "Ukrainians want to be free. This aggression shown by Russia — by Vladimir Putin — is absolutely unacceptable and it should be unacceptable across the world stage."

Be realistic! Trump doesn't like Zelensky and Ukraine for the same reason Putin doesn't: They are proud and courageous people fighting for human values that Trump and Putin will never understand, so they prefer to interpret them as weakness or madness.

Here’s a peace plan based on historical facts: Russia can just leave Ukraine, and there will be peace. That’s it. Thank me later.

I’ll just leave this right here.

This is the right move. Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top European leaders. His plane has already departed with a stop in Brussels. Media report that NATO Secretary General Rutte, French

The only person worth talking about after the Alaska spectacle is not a politician, but a journalist. Her name is Rachel V. Scott, Senior Political Correspondent at ABC News. She was the one who asked Putin the question that mattered: “Will you stop killing civilians?” 1/n

Zelensky will be received in Washington on Monday without ceremony or red carpet – Sky News You must have killed millions of people, you must have given the order to rape women, sell children, and bomb hospitals – then you're worth a lot in Trump's eyes.

In decades to come, there will be many books written about how European states with well over 500 million people and an economy more than 20 times the size of Russia and approx equal to the USA, end up a group of sad bystanders in the making of their own destiny.

For tomorrow: US population: 340 million EU Pop. 450 M EU+UK+UKR 565 M Russia 143M US GDP 29 Trillion EU GDP 20 T EU + UK 24 T Russia 2.2 T What does neither the US nor Europe get? Trump thinks Russia is the only other superpower. Europe thinks it’s not a superpower.

1/5 As Trump refuses to pressure russia, Ukraine shows how it’s done. Just before tough negotiations with Trump, Ukraine unveils its new long-range cruise missile: Flamingo. The timing? Likely not a coincidence👇

While 40,000 Ukrainian kids are kidnapped, women raped, and entire cities wiped off the map, they’re critiquing Zelensky’s tie. Can you imagine nitpicking FDR’s suit after Pearl Harbor? Or Bush’s outfit on 9/11? Or debating Churchill’s bow tie during the Blitz? Hell, imagine

Our leaders talk as if Russia is some unstoppable superpower, as if it had China’s economy, Germany’s industry, and America’s military rolled into one. As if it had crushed Ukraine in three days instead of grinding through three years of failure. As if it were fielding alien

Down here we know what a real man looks like. He rides a motorcycle, trains hard, and stands his ground when his country’s on the line. He don’t fake bone spurs to duck the draft, and he sure as hell don’t think a suit makes the man. Suits are for salesmen. While Ukraine buries

What’s wrong with the president of the United States?

Russia Russia Russia

While Ukraine buries its dead, America’s ‘fashion police’ sit at their kitchen tables filing nails and whining about Zelensky’s T-shirt.

Strange, I don't recall anyone from Fox News asking Putin, "Are you prepared to keep sending Russian troops to their deaths or are you going to call off your unprovoked invasion of Ukraine?" This game of blaming Zelensky & Ukraine for being invaded and murdered is disgusting.
