As someone rightly put it on YouTube comments section, Mr Make a deal and his lapdog think that negotiations are done through threats.

Such balderdash and disgraceful behavior from Donald trump and JD Vance

Hold your ground Mr zelensky, He’s a con artist and a crook.

Don't sign a deal giving your minerals away, just Walk away instead

JD Vance is a bigger idiot than I initially thought
But without US how can he win the war?the thing is complicating in my own opinion

Chai, the western powers don scam Ukraine grin

Politics us such a dirty game.
Don’t generalize western powers against Ukraine, it’s Trump that is going the other way , because pumping more weapons to Ukraine without physical military actions from Europe is useless, Trump want the war to end

People must understand that slave blood isn’t in Eastern Europeans. They will die but they will fight.

Zelenskyy isn’t the one blowing the embers. Ukrainians inherently hate Russians. I’m yet to know a Ukrainian that doesn’t.

Vance said a lot but said nothing, retreating to emotional blackmail is toddler politics.

America is forgetting history, once Russia takes Ukraine they automatically become bigger economically, financially and in military than the US and China combined. Europe wouldn’t stand a chance, and all the Baltic countries will give in. The face of the geopolitical map of the world will change and no country for years to come will be able to challenge their authority.

To Africans, name 5 successful black men in Russia?
Choose your poison wisely, native Russians don’t like blacks.


And the last time I checked it was not Russiaaid accused of allegedly funding boko haram . It wasn’t Russia that toppled good African leaders and killed some. I would advise you to take your own advice and choose you poison wisely

Seems people actually want this war to continue.

It's about trump is a puppet to putin.
Wonder who Zelensky is a puppet to.

Why did he go to war.
Honour an agreement that was there before you. Simple. That agreement was there for a reason.
If America is in the shoe of Russia, they will do exactly what Russia did.
Her nebors knows that already.
Some people who want to launder money through proxy war while promising him heaven on earth used him for their own good.

Now, it's trump's fault. It's always his fault.

JD vance and Trump are two shameless bullies

Watch the entire video. They told him Ukraine sustained this far in the war because of the USA, should the USA withdraw its today, Russia will overrun Ukraine in two weeks. Zelenskyy accepted that fact, he even said 3 days.

Trump is trying to stop the war and prevent WW3. Zelenskyy wants the war to continue even after itting they’re losing to Russia.

President Trump is short sighted on his analysis of the war. It is true that the USA helped Ukraine during these times, but the USA also gained very valuable lessons from the war, which has made America way more stronger than Russia for now. In the first week of the war, with Ukrainian ground forces, America got s500, - which was Russia's newest weapon, getting that weapon will make Russia scrap that program, and go back to the drawing board. Also, the ability to study Russian hypersonic weapons in real time and even defend against most of them; and also other technical knowledge and strategies that could have been difficult to understand from a distance.


If Russia had taken over Ukraine in a month, went ahead and placed strategic weapons everywhere in ukraine; America would have been forced to spend over 500 billion or more, in one year, just to adjust to the perceived threat. Then, do you think Russia is not strategic; when they see America readjusting, they would have given china the confidence to take Taiwan in a month, which will make America spend lots of money in readjusting over there too. Then while that is going on, Russia might decide to take advantage and take Finland or Romania or even poland, to cause a distraction. Now, that ww3 you are avoiding, will come, without you having any knowledge of how to fight either Russia and/or china.


It is deeper than I stated, but Ukraine war has tremendously helped American weapons research and development. Also , Ukraine was limited from striking into Russia.


One might say to what end, which there are many avenues, but not like how President Trump is planning and doing it. He is doing it emotionally, and with short sightedness.


Back in the day, Russia will shout nuclear, Americans will cower. But after a while in the Ukraine war, Russia saw that they were very vulnerable, and now president trump, wants to give them an out, to go strengthen their weak points.



China will soon turn all these commercial ships to military logistics like they are slowly doing, latin America is shaky on their loyalty to America. Now, they are seeing that Russia can be a backer. And unlike before, it will be difficult for an American president to order Russia or china, to move away from the USA 's hemisphere.



President Trump needs to look at this long term. This cease fire will not hold. Russia feels emboldened, and they might even decide to use mini nukes to show their seriousness. Something they feared to do under President Biden, and that is because Biden was low on noise making, but very calculated after intelligence update.


To be continued....


Well said.

I share the same sentiments. If America loses Ukraines deal, they lose their status as protector of the suppressed. Taiwan, Hongkong, Japan will all review their foreign policy.
It will validate the rumor that to be an enemy to the US is bad, but to be a friend is fatal.

Europe will increase military spending and the arms race will meet an unprecedented spike. Already the green deal has been suspended.

For once in President Trumps life he has to embrace glory and not money.

Ukraine should be wipe off the map. All it's citizens have already found homes in other countries. They don't have the resources and man power to fight any war. Without the aid and threat of USA, Russia would have gone 100% against Ukraine long ago and wiped them off the face of the earth. They should take whatever Trump is giving them and crawl back into the hole they came from.
The clown was openly campaigning for Kamala Harris grin grin grin he forgot Trump shows no mercy to his enemies

You can't blame him. We all see what is going on in front of cameras, but some of use forget that these two people who occupy the highest office in the land have access to privy and classified information. That may have triggered him concerning Zelenzky.

No matter how triggered, the White House is not a place for kindergartens, how can you be asking a president of a country if he has said thank you today?

where is it in what i said that an African president must wear a suit? this is why you fail exams and interviews and then you blame the whole world for your woes, when in fact your poor education is the problem.

What’s the deal with ill-mannered kids lacking the decorum for public discourse on this forum.

Kindly enjoy the conversation without quoting me.

Read about Russia’s for the Nazi’s. It was only a matter of time before they got to Africa. They were occupied in Europe, there’s a reason all their neighbors hate them, and it has nothing to do with western media.

I feel like crying for President Zelensky..

This situation will make any country review their military alliance with the US.

Coz lets say you make a deal with a cool headed president and someone like President Trump comes in and rubbish everything.


Political stability is part of what makes a country a developed one

Why feel pity for the Comedian?

When this whole war thing was coming about a year ago and I shared my views here, a lots of people here were hurling insults and analysis that lacks historical credibility.

Now the reality is here. Epatewo fun comedic-president 👏👏👏👏

This is hard to watch. I’m no Zelensky fan, but this is completely disgraceful and he has his back against the wall.

It is obvious, in the next few months things are going to be much worse if he doesn’t just hover in to Trump. Trump is a complete different kind of beast that if you’re not ready to ingratiate yourself and praise , you’re completely alone.

This is not true, you are just repeating Trump talking point. I watched and still watching the coverage on Sky news.

Trump and his VP were just talking like playground bullies, they addressing a president like a child.

This is embarrassing to watch

NATO should withdraw from Ukraine, so that the comedian president will understand the language better from Russia
You are the type who will rent out your wife to your rich neighbour for money.

I dare you to challenge that because you would rather roll over than face the rich man like a man.

All this is bullying by Trump and his vice on Zelensky.


Unfortunately, let me tell you what will happen
1. Trump should prepare for another assassination attempt
2. Unfortunately, if this succeeds, it would be the last of USA as a country.
3. Europe will step up for Zelensky and the third world war will loom.


Henceforth, America is on its own. China should take Taiwan and not a single country in Europe will lift a hand to help him
