Zelensky is average height for an adult male. He is 5'7" which is the average male across the world.


That's what his press people say that he's 5'7 but he's shorter than everybody. He's probably 5'5, here he is next to Tom Cruise and Tom Cruise is 5 ft 7. He's at least two inches taller than zelensky.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

AP forgot the extra Y

I see he wears a nice jacket for Cruise. I think he had no idea Trump was so different than the Americans in general he had met before, who loved it if he dressed like he does when in Ukraine danger zones. Not just Biden Admin. We were quite encouraged to think of this guy as a hero. I have a hard time not thinking like that in fact, to view him as a problem is new to me

This one's interesting because a pattern is developing.

The pattern I see is, no one of substance is being charged for anything.


So it could be a strategy by Trump to defer or possibly could be the power structure is not what we think it is, etc.

Obviously, we can't have American Communists interfere with foreign Communist negotiations.


It's like the commies aren't even scared to interfere.

Maybe Trump wants the American public to see for themselves.

Might have to be partially blind not to see it already.


All roads lead to the Kenyan born man, at least temporarily.

It'll be interesting also, to find out to whom the illegal immigrant is reporting to.

I'd guess legal citizen Biden will turn on the illegal for humiliating his legacy of forcing him to step-down, even though he was insane the entire time.

In other words, Biden could be a hero, albeit an insane criminal hero.


I always had the impression Biden could set-up his illegal comrade for humiliating him.

Ukraine once had more nukes than China. In 1994, Bill Clinton convinced them to hand over their nuclear arsenal to the Russians in exchange for economic aid and security assurances.

As if 1,900 strategic warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and 44 strategic bombers wasn't enough of a security assurance.

No word how many tens of millions in under the table cash, Clinton handed the Ukraine leaders in return for selling out their people.

Typical right wing BS propaganda from the NY post
They blame the Dems for everything. Such BS
Zelensky makes his own decisions.
Always has and always will
Mineral rights shouldn't stand in the way of helping a country fight for its freedom
Putin has a President in his pocket

Javelins:


You'd think a Communist running a country would already know this.

Unless he was assured they could go around the security protections by traitors.


If I were Trump, I'd get the piano player to show other weaknesses and then string him out like a drug addict.

From the fake AI Brave Browser feature (just a fast search feature):

--------------

FGM-148 Javelin

American man-portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missile

The Javelin is an American man-portable, "fire-and-forget" anti-tank guided missile system developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. It entered service in 1996 and is currently in use by the U.S. military and numerous international customers. The system is scheduled to be in inventory until 2050.

Weighing 49 pounds, the Javelin has advanced electronics that allow for fire-and-forget capability, with the missile traveling at a rate of 1,000 feet every seven seconds, guided by an infrared seeker in the nose.

It has been used extensively in combat, particularly by the Ukrainian military during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, where it has shown to be highly effective against Russian main battle tanks and other armored vehicles.

I won't post the piano player video, but it's making the rounds.

Aside from securing valuable rare earth minerals and metals for US manufacturers and military weapons production, having Americans in Ukraine involved in mining and mixing with the Ukranian population, would make the Russians more careful about where they send their missiles and where their soldiers attack.

Trump's smart way of providing security without security assurances that can lead to WW3, and without putting American or European boots on the ground.

The dems want Ukraine to lose the war so they can blame it on Trump.

Zelenskyy fell right into their hands.

Russians are really going to step it up now.

Trump didn’t end the war on day one. FAIL

Trump didn’t have the agreement with Zelensky close like he said he did this Friday. FAIL

Trump called Zelensky the dictator. FAIL

Trump claims to trust Putin though Putin has broken several promises in the past FAIL

Trump’s smart? Only to the gullible.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to halt offensive operations against Russia, according to a current official and two former officials briefed on the secret instructions. The move is apparently part of a broader effort to draw President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia into talks on Ukraine and a new relationship with the United States.

Mr. Hegseth’s instructions, part of a larger re-evaluation of all operations against Russia, have not been publicly explained. But they were issued before President Trump’s public blowup in the Oval Office with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday.

The precise scope and duration of the Defense Department order is not clear, as the line between offensive and defensive cyberoperations is often a blurry one.

Still, retaining access to major Russian networks for espionage purposes is critical to understanding Mr. Putin’s intentions as he enters negotiations, and to tracking the arguments within Russia about what conditions to insist upon and what could be given up.
