casualobserver:His country is at war, do you really expect him to walk around in suits all the time, or are you just dumb? As for my opinion, never fully trust the United States. Their government changes every four years, making their policies unpredictable (if na China dey support Ukraine now, trust me it would he long term). If the U.S., the main funder of the war, says "ceasefire," then that’s what will happen. Whether Trump is acting as a Russian puppet is a separate discussion. But let’s be real, if the U.S. stops funding the war, do you really think Zelensky can stand against Russia? Not even all of Europe combined could. Sanctions haven’t really hurt Russia, so from Trump’s perspective, if his goal is to rebuild the U.S. economy, there’s no reason to keep spending money on a war in Europe. Priorities have shifted. it's that simple. |

I still dont understand why Zelensky went to the US for this meeting. If Ukraine has these minerals that are so sought after which can be used to manufacture weapons, how did Zelensky not develop his countr'ys defenses instead of depending on NATO which eventually let him down? |

I warned zelensky but he didn't listen, all his supporters are now nowhere to be found, USA are not worthy to be trusted, they do everything to favor their own aims and goal, now you have to negotiate your minerals for your freedom instead of you to stay off the proxies you allowed your self to be caught off guard 🙆🙆☝️☝️☝️, Putin please have mercy on this poor slowpoke |

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 terms 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. |

So sad watching Trump talk to the President of a country like his kid. This is so sad, the people of Ukraine have suffered so much, their only blame is not being strong enough to fight Russia |
| Re: "Show Respect": Trump, US VP In Fiery Exchange With Zelenskyy Over Russian War by Yampotatocarrot(m): 7:55pm On Feb 28, 2025 |
I don't think OP even watched the video... Where is the "fiery exchange"... But is the Ukraine president so docile or is it the office that humbled him? He was just acting like a house boy that's being reprimanded by his Oga On the other hand, why will Trump allow media to such a meeting just for them to "wash" the guy down... E no make sense na... Na person Papa be that, president of a whole country |

IF there was a God, this is time for him to show himself strong on Zelensky and Ukraine's side in the face of the slavery Trump wants to foist upon unborn generations of Ukrainians who did not cause Americas $36 Trillion debt mountain. |

lexy2014:it may play to the dumb audience back home in Ukraine and a few international dimwits but this is the thing...when you appear for a state visit and cant be bothered to dress appropriately, your host or those on the other side of the table do not take you seriously...its human nature. and the way he has been treated it is clear he isnt being taken seriously! |

Trump is right. Comedian Zelensky doesn't hold the cards. America through sleepy Joe Biden kept the war going for this long and America will stop it today by withdrawing their support and allowing Comedian Zelensky to either make a deal or Ukraine falls naturally to Russian control. |
| Re: "Show Respect": Trump, US VP In Fiery Exchange With Zelenskyy Over Russian War by hotseat: 7:59pm On Feb 28, 2025 |
Donald Trump is trying to cow Zelensky into submission by all means possible. His main grouse against Zelensky was that he "campaigned" with the opposition thereby incurring his wrath. DT is a vindictive personality and after winning the US presidential election, now intends to settle scores with all perceived enemies instead of concentrating on positive governance. DT shouldn't be a president of a "first world" country. Walahi! @hotseat |

Yampotatocarrot:But they ended up further exposing themselves as bullies and Zelensky showed the courage that Ukrainians have displayed to the world for the past 3 years. Shame on European leaders for bowing to the idiotic convicted Felon named Trump and abandoning Ukraine at the last minute. This is when God should show himself strong on Ukraine's behalf IF he truly exists. |

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 remember, 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.... |

RealLordZeus:If not for democracy , stupid presidents like Biden and Kamal , would have destroyed America. How is trying to end a war not a cool thing ? I don’t understand people like you. So you are ok with a “cool” president fanning a war than a not so cool one who wants peace and people dying ? |

Akalia:Mumu post More Russians are dying more than Ukrainians. Putin is a dictator he can use the whole Russian revenue to fight the war and no one can cough. If Russia military is that good why bring in North Korean troops. Ukraine does not have the economy to fight long war otherwise Ukrainian military is better. Russia is getting direct support from China, Iran, North Korea and Belarus |

Kobicove:He didn't start the war, he is just unlucky that he is facing a superior country. Putin took the advantage of his country capability against Ukraine, Putin started the war knowing that Ukraine is not his country mate. Imagine Putin invading USA (which he can't try), what do you think will happen to him and his people, then you will know that the restriction placed on the use of nuclear weapons is just limited to other countries except for USA |
| Re: "Show Respect": Trump, US VP In Fiery Exchange With Zelenskyy Over Russian War by Mirasteel: 8:06pm On Feb 28, 2025 |
Zelensky should stop this war now, Trump isn't Biden and I don't think Trump will be able to support Ukraine anymore so it's better the silly war stop for good. Just look at how Trump and JD are grilling him, that's embarrassing. |
