US president admits to concern Russian counterpart does not want to ‘stop the war’ and ponders new approach to Moscow
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.
The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.
It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.
Yeah, but that’s this week’s statement. After you talk to Putin or your cheerleaders of chaos you’ll then condemn Zelensky and Ukraine again. Not a single own thought, only “he said, she said”.
It’s like a child who can’t choose between two divorcing parents, where one tries to be reasonable and the other tries to poison you against the first one. “This week little Donny will stay with papa Putin, next week he’s gonna stay with papa Zelensky”. Meanwhile an unnamed soldier doesn’t know if he’s gonna live or die today, not knowing his life is being affected by these childish and ever-shifting geopolitics.
Would you look at that. A POTUS, arguably the most influential seat on the planet, occupied by an empty shell of a puppet who doesn’t have a mind of his own, who needs to be told what to think.
Until now any POTUS had, by default, the soft power and influence to make Russia back the fuck off. This one, however, is using that power in all the wrong ways, and achieving the opposite.
Honestly makes me think if they could get Melania out of the White House, it might be more effective than getting Trump out.
