Zelensky releases video of meeting with bipartisan house members just before he went to the Whitehouse. They were all fawning over him , treating him better than their president.

descarado:The west is proud of it's freedoms . China , you know what not to say. Decadence is the modern way in the west. Disregard of religion . Funny most of those who don't believe in a good God believes an evil Satan , both are spirits. Then there are those who worship the Devil and poke fun of the believers China social life is pretty decadent too with their atheism state policy. The Chinese are not known to be proud of any truth or freedom. You echo the CCP position if you are Chinese. No ifs or buts. |
bemeruca:Everything is always coordinated Seems there is a Central Clearing House that sets what words to use for everyone on the group. No coincidence those tweets are almost identical. |
descarado:The west is a million times better than Chinaman. Wait till he dislodges America. They have a long term plan to be the world's superpower , they will steal IP, manufacture fake and substandard goods, send fentanyl to the west, force every citizen of theirs abroad to always put mother China first before anything else, use slave labor, manipulate their currency , etc to achieve that. They don't allow FB, IG, X, Google etc . They have the most advanced public face recognition CCTV operated by their police department. You can't establish a factory there if you won't have Chinese partners ( I'm not sure whether that's still the case today) meaning once they know your trade secrets they open a similar factory next door. |
cococandy:He doesn't lie but he embellishes. If it stinks then it's bad. $1B is bad enough for a war that should never have been started. If I caught you kissing your neighbor and tell your husband I saw you redhanded in the act, would you convince him that the only body fluids you exchanged was saliva? ![]() |
Seems like Zelensky took advice from Victoria Nuland, Blinken , Susan Rice and Vindman to reject the deal . On X it's said he took calls before meeting Trump. Makes sense. He is the one who insisted on coming to DC to sign the deal. There is a small act Logan Act that Joe Biden had suggested in Dec 2016 could be used to nail Michael Flynn..... Susan Rice was in that meeting at the oval office then. Trump revoked security clearance for a DC lawfirm Covington and Burling plus any contract they have with the govt. Eric Holder is a partner there. Victoria Nuland is a partner there after being the Ukraine Shadow president.
|
bemeruca:Zelensky telling Trump they "can't feel it " because of a nice ocean surrounding America was just outrageous. |
descarado:Be careful what you wish for. If it's the Chinese who were the superpower, you'd be dreaming in Mandarin. For example , China influence in WHO is immense,yet they are not among the top 15 contributors to the body.. |
bemeruca:How long is the video The meeting lasted 48 minutes, the last 10 minutes or so is what I've watched. Marco Rubio said the disrespect was before what I have watched. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14449431/marco-rubio-zelensky-reason-apologize-trump.html |
budaatum:Deflect. I will put you to the sword before long. Datarepublican who has been doxxed for exposing where USAID funds go to( She is waiting for a DOGE job). She is readying a tool to query voter matters. I doubt you've heard about her ,your leftie media will not cover her unless when she is exposed.
|
feedthenation:Are you sure EU countries have given more to Ukraine than Biden did?. Macron factchecks , were probably for media benefit, maybe the same thing Zelensky wanted . To be praised by media for standing up to Trump? Trump says $350B, Someone here says $175B ostensibly Trump doubled his figures. Audit needed
|
budaatum:So that gave him the right to try and pander to media present in the office, dressed like a cowboy and call Vance a bitch. He also goes on to say nothing is acceptable without American boots on the ground. Reuters reports. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency, had already begun probing potential problems with large sums of U.S. economic and security assistance provided to Ukraine, but those efforts would now be sped up. "They're already finding problems," the official said, without providing additional details Methinks he has some blackmail material on congress critters loudly supporting him. Time will tell . |
bemeruca:Yes note Russia is trying to win over the Ukrainians who are being wooed by NATO. But months to occupy some villages and Ukraine still has anti-aircraft missiles on. Ask Iran where their S-300s are. Taken out by Israel from thousands of kilometers away. Israel can fly in and out , those manning their SAMs better switch them off. Russia has that Oreshnik only that they have used once. It does not want to destroy Ukraine at the same time , but in a war you take out the enemy defences or breach them at will. Russia also is not using other ballistics that rained on Israel from a thousand kilometers away Why doesn't Iran send their ground army to Israel they have to use cowardly terrorist attacks and then scream genocide when no nonsense Israel retaliates. Russia has been warning NATO not to send long range weapons that can reach Moscow to Ukraine.Tells you a lot about their much vaunted S-300,400 and 500 efficacies. |
descarado:Not only that he has halted repairing the power transmission project America was to undertake. |
budaatum:Liar, Zelensky has refused to sign a deal 3 times in the last two weeks. The last deal yesterday was about $90 billion to repay America, which means there had been negotiations. He came to sign the deal, not to call Vance a bitch in the WH. |
bemeruca:Bemeruca..Those western militaries are deadly. They have mastered the art of warfare. Russia has been struggling for months to take a few villages and outposts. Mainly because they don't control the airspace, they can't use close support helicopters or gunships instead relying on artillery . America is far advanced in terms of everything including intelligence. Western militaries are hamstrung by lawyers and armchair generals away from battle fighting humane wars. If there was no nuclear weapons threat they can wipe the floor with Russia . Chinese , noone knows about them. They wars they fought relied on numbers and zealots throwing themselves like ants into a battle. These western armies are dysinfunctional because they want to follow rules of engagement. Take that out ,their weaponry and tactics are immense. Europeans also know they have NATO backed by America. |
MERCHANDISER:Zelensky was silent when Trump was impeached for asking him to investigate the now proven Hunter Biden corruption. It seems he might have blackmail material on Biden and other globalists wrt funds sent to Ukraine. Teeming with arrogance ,he set out to embarrass Trump Infront of media.He forgot Trump has a very long history with media and reality TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLD1yhxNik |
cococandy:We can agree that not everyone who works at FAA is an ATC . Which as I pointed out, will have an increased workforce of ATCs and a higher pay. At the time of that midair collision there was one ATC on duty doing helicopter and normal planes which normally is handled by two.Its ironic to fire staff when there is already a shortage. Maybe you can explain that logic. That's why I always take every anti Trump article with a pinch of salt. |
cococandy:You do a good job and Elon has said he Asperger's Syndrome. My AI chatbot tells me Asperger's Syndrome, now considered part of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), manifests in several key ways: Social Interaction Difficulties: Challenges in understanding social cues and emotions. Difficulty making eye contact and engaging in conversations. Repetitive Behaviors and Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or hobbies. Preference for routines and resistance to change. Communication Challenges: May have a formal or monotone speech style. Difficulty understanding sarcasm or idiomatic expressions. Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-sensitivity to sensory inputs like sounds, lights, or textures. You might want to delete what you wrote above fresh from this knowledge infusion. |
cococandy:Preempting you from saying he is firing ATCs. |
cococandy:Wage increase for Air Traffic Controllers due. On Thursday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced that the Trump administration is actively working to address the air traffic controller staffing shortage by exploring a 30% pay increase for new recruits. “This staffing shortage has been a known challenge for over a decade, and this administration is committed to solving it,” Duffy stated. “The new streamlined hiring process is just the first step to deliver on President Trump’s agenda to prioritize the American people’s safety and modernize the federal government.” Under the proposed plan, the starting wage for air traffic controller trainees would increase from $17.61 to $22.84 per hour. Duffy emphasized that this adjustment is designed to provide a livable wage during training, with certified controllers potentially earning an average of $160,000 annually within three years. However, he noted that the pay increase would need congressional approval to secure the necessary funding. He still your public enemy number one ![]() |
Insiders claim President Vlodymyr Zelenskyy "begged to stay" at the White House after his furious confrontation with Donald Trump and JD Vance. The Ukrainian leader, who was slammed for his outfit choice amid a 'dictator' scandal, clashed with the US President and Vice President in an explosive Oval Office meeting that descended into chaos. According to Fox News, Zelensky "begged to stay and work this out" but a seething Trump "kicked him out", meaning a lunch meant for the Ukrainians was left for White House staffers to eat. A 2017 CNN top headline story was that Trump gets two scoops of ice cream while the rest get one. GRRR. Dont I just love the media.

GloriousGbola:He sent non lethal aid. I quoted AP news . A gay pride flag is a non lethal weapon. It can be used to suffocate those pesky Russians. You can't prove he didn't send them all that, because you must have a list of what he sent. Which you can't post here because he only sent non lethal stuff to ward off the Russians. Maybe he wanted them to be like this Polish platoon preparing to stop Hitler battle tanks . Obama might be a secret saddist, you think so?

GloriousGbola:Stop being brainwashed. AP in a bid to whitewash St Jesus of Chicago wrote... While the Obama administration refused to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons in 2014 to fight Russian-backed separatists, it offered a range of other military and security aid — not just “blankets.” The administration’s concern was that providing lethal weapons like Javelin anti-tank missiles might provoke Russian President Vladimir Putin to escalate the conflict in the separatist Donbas area of Ukraine near Russia’s border. Trump sent them javelins. Obama .. blankets, sheets, night vision goggles, paper straws to conserve the environment, paper clips , high heels for their women fighters, nail cutters, and some gay shit pride flags . You really have a comprehension problem if not TDS. |
GloriousGbola:Trump sent deadly javelin missiles to Ukraine to kill any Russian tank invaders while Obama sent them blankets and sheets. That makes Trump a Russian stooge. New term you might want to know about. argumentum ad contrarium This thing below here is not designed to deliver chocolates ,cookies and flowers to it's intended recipients but I guess you knew that.

cococandy:As I said there are people who are very particular in some situations. My chatbot Previous Comments: Trump has previously criticized Zelensky for not dressing formally, particularly in military attire. Zelensky should have figured that out. It's not that he doesn't own suits.
|
cococandy:For all intents and purposes there is something called civility and decorum. Z was going to sign a long lasting deal which would have immediately charted a clear defined path to end hostilities. Some people are very cautious about appearances,dress codes and decorum. There are some professions you don't show up at the work place without formal dressing.. like law firms banks and accountancy firms. Some medical facilities demand consultation doctors be dressed formally.Infact I know some top firms limit which neighborhood you can live in and which streets not to go shopping. Others demand senior and managerial staff to join exclusive membership clubs . All to project a certain corporate image. There are some firms where your suits must be of a certain colour, dark corporate colours like grey or navy blue . Golf clubs have a dressing code too, they'll kick you out if you don't adhere to it's dress code. |
cococandy:Trump is an enemy? 76 million people don't see it that way. |
IjeBos:Fool Russia SMO objectives have largely been met. _Ukraine is not joining NATO _Ukraine will not sell gas to Europe and replace Russia. _ The Azov Nazi Battalion has been driven out of Eastern Ukraine. __ Russia has taken over 20% of Ukraine and will retain it,noone can yank it back unless they want a WW3. Crimea has a contiguous land link to the Russian federation. _Russia controls the oil rich parts of Ukraine. |
Several things I've picked up EU countries have very small armies. Norway 16000 Denmark a few thousands, UK 60,000 .. etc They never bother with defence that much , Because an attack on them is an attack on NATO. America underwrites Europe security guarantee . I've seen UK PM say he will gut foreign aid to increase defence spending. Days after wearing a suit to the WH!! At the same time EU want to weaken Russia, throw out Putin for it's vast mineral wealth and control. Putin had requested to join NATO which essentially would nullify it's purpose. To protect Europe from Russia. EU is the one promoting fear of Putin globalist intentions. If ukraine loses ,Putin tanks will roll all over Europe. Which is impossible. NATO is there. Putin talks tough . Without nuclear weapons his army is just a rag tag army like the DRC militia.Only that it's capable of manufacturing unlimited amounts of weaponry unhindered within it's vast territory. Modern warfare requires you seize air control and destroy the enemy missile defenses. Putin has no control over Ukraine airspace 3 years later.He should have infiltrated Ukraine army highest ranks by now ,his soldiers can speak Ukraine. I think UK alone can beat back his army and make incursions into Moscow without breaking sweat. |
budaatum:Thar was a damn lie. The worst reveal was Hillary casually informing the world that should a missile be fired from Russia It would take 4 minutes for the President to issue an order and have a retaliatory missile launched. She was not selling out , she just blurted it out with no bad intentions. Trump if he said something to an Aussie businessman, a friend of his, who shells out over $250K annually for membership was also not selling out. Federal staff are the ones saying Look China or Russia want to hire us if you fire us.In other words our insider knowledge is what they are after. Let me introduce you to another term. Debriefing. Any employee who leaves sensitive employment gets a debriefing. It is not a farewell drunken party if you must know. Thank me for educating you .... Now how many years ? They just returned all documents Jackboot took from Mar a Lago. Top secret my ass.
