Yorobastards have deceived and pushed Zelensky into a war he can't win and now they've suddenly abandoned him to support the same Trump they swore over their ewedu skulls will never become president. Trust a fork-tongued and double faced Yorobastard at your own peril |

Ukrainian are only fighting with drones. You can never spot them in trenches. How would u drop $1m dollar bomb to neutralize a soldier. Waste of America resources. I would rather attack Ukraine if I were Trump. They must pay back dat $350billion by fire. |

AImiron:Musk's statement is not only boastful but deeply troubling. While it’s undeniable that Starlink has played a critical role in Ukraine’s defense, his framing of the situation reeks of self-importance and a dangerous level of influence over a sovereign nation’s war effort. No private individual or company should wield such unchecked control over a country’s ability to defend itself. Musk has previously admitted to restricting Ukraine’s access to Starlink in certain operations, raising serious ethical concerns about a billionaire’s ability to single-handedly dictate the course of war. His comments highlight the urgent need for governments to develop independent and secure communication networks, ensuring that no one individual can hold an entire nation’s security hostage. Musk may see himself as a benevolent tech savior, but his words reveal a troubling reality: Ukraine’s fight for survival should not be at the mercy of a single man’s whims. |

Emeskhalifa:Who should be bullied if not a fool? He went to the Oval Office and said Ukraine was fighting alone. Trump had to angrily tell him he is ungrateful. Trump told him the war wouldn't last 2 weeks if not for US, Zele sarcastically answered Trump it wouldn't last 3 days. That is a height of stupidity. Very ungrateful. Now he is crying because US stopped weapons supply, intelligence but still allowed Starlink. Russian upped their attacks and about 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers in Sudzha are in grave danger of Caudron. Zele is stupid. |

bassdow:1. Tell me why Ukraine or Iran should not acquire their own Nuclear power? 2. Tell me why it makes strategic sense for USA to destroy NATO for Russia? 3. Tell me why Taiwan should not quickly negotiate with China? Please no stories but answers! Trump is most likely a Russian Asset or just terribly MYOPIC! It seems the worst mistake Ukraine made was to Trust the security guarantees of Russia, USA and France in giving up their Nukes to Russia for Independence |

It seems the worst mistake Ukraine made was to Trust the security guarantees of Russia, USA and France in giving up their Nukes to Russia for Independence in the Budapest agreement! We are learning that guarantees by world powers means NOTHING especially from USA and Russia! |

Saga16:This your France has gone to beg for supports in the Oval office. Beggars for guarantee. Why can't the strong France be Ukraine's guarantor?. The reality is Ukraine military are running blind in many fronts because they lack Intel. In few days, you will here how thousands of Ukraine soldiers either surrender and hand over nato weapons to their captors or dead because of the yeye incursion they made last August into Kursk region. Putin is dealing with all of una presently. Enjoy it. |

Ukraine biggest regret would be trusting fully in a highly unstable country like USA. Imagine the messaging from the United States the past weeks, everything to weaken Ukrainian morale and increase Russia morale |

martineverest:what do you mean by lazy Europe? Trump is singlehandedly destroying American superpower status. European countries like Germany didn't fully militarize because USA did not let them, USA had bases there just like Japan because they lost WWII. Once Germany build its military and get nukes American undisputed status will evaporate and the world will be very close to another world War. Trump is way too retarrded and narcissistic to even understand how the United States military kept the world under its control. Do you think Germany will be happy or sad when Trump remove the US occupation army from Germany? Germany literally fought the world twice, do you think they will have any problem building another formidable army once the US allow them? I see maga talking stupid things like protecting Germany I laugh. Once America remove their bases from Germany it will take them a few months to modernize their military. They have the best engineers |
