I hope Z takes the peace deal, but he had the behavior of someone playing to another country’s media.
Remember, he already campaigned for Harris this past fall ( isn’t trying to influence an election what they claimed of Russia in the past? Looks like there’s someone else doing it too).
Regardless, if Z cares about his people more than himself, he will take the deal now.
It was unprofessional, undiplomatic, and disgraceful. That shit should have happened behind closed doors.
Unprofessional yes, but Zelensky opened his mouth trying to play to the cameras go with the Trump/Putin BS.
He got called out for it, but the blame is on him.
I understand that discussions can get heated, but that should have happened behind closed doors. Trump did nituing other than play right into Putin’s hands. Disgraceful.

that it was not a good public display. But I think that it was because Zelensky chose to make an opportunity for himself - not his country. Trump has no re-election to consider.
What i thought was interesting was Vance's annoyance with Zelensky - clearly there was something more behind the scenes before this press conference started.
I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people, but not for Fatigue Boy - he hurt his people today - either for his own ego or for his desire to avoid a peace that forces him out of power. Regardless, I feel sorry for them.
I oppose American troops being used. I oppose any more money being given in a hopeless cause that will have the same outcome but with more lives lost as well. I cannot believe that Zelensky would not be accepting of a peace deal unless he has his own personal needs above his country's.
freely sign over the rare mineral deal. Vance is a hypocrite and he lacks diplomacy just like his master. Hell, Just a couple of years ago, Vance hated Trump. Now that he’s (Vance) tasted power, he sucks Trump cock like no other than maybe the hookers Trump has slept with. It was a disgraceful spectacle that no one should be proud of and like I said, that kind of talk should have been behind closed doors…not in front of the world to see.
care who brokers it.......
But I notice that you did pick up on Zelensky's surprise. he doesn't want peace. He wants power. So does Putin.
As an American, I am offended by Zelensky's behavior, and offended by his social media play to you libs. An ally who wants peace does not act this way.
Not another dime.
He said that he’d end the war within 24 hours of him taking office. Another lie. Trump voted with Russia, North Korea, and Iran the other day. Trump has switched sides.
Zelensky wants his country to survive. He’s interested in his national defense. Trump essentially gave Putin what he wanted. I’m surprised Trump didn’t have Zelensky arrested so he could hand him over to Putin.
But regardless, you should watch Lyndsey Graham's interview. he was furious because he was one of the senators meeting with him before the press conference (R's and D's told him not to get into the details of assurances at the presser and not to argue or bait or disagree - that was for later, but Z intentionally did it anyways).
Guess what? Z had the support of almost the entire American population before that meeting (I was undecided on him but concerned as previous posts have indicated). He left with 47%to 49% support - just the libs......who are out of power. There is NO WAY Zelensky wants peace of any kind.
After that intentional bushwhack at what was supposed to simply be a photo op - he can't be trusted as a partner.
The Ukrainian people need a different leader if the US is to assist anymore. Trump is in power. He is not seeking re-election. He stood for peace and the US interests which is what we want on my side of the aisle.
If you really hate Putin as much as you say, you should be pissed at Zelensky because he just increased Russia's chances of getting what they want.
No way Z wants peace. He fucked his people today. No wonder his own popularity in Ukraine is so horrible. For their sake, I am sure Trump will be open to a different leader not interested in maintaining his own power selfishly.
You want to help Ukraine? Send them your own money now. I am sure Zelensky has a Cayman account where you can wire the money directly. Or get the Euros to grow a pair and take over.
The aid is done. This wasn't Trump's window for brokering a deal, it was Ukraine's. And Zelensky just gave a big FU to keep himself in power.
You actually think today’s escapade was a success? It was a downright embarrassment for our country. Trump pretty much gave Putin everything he wanted. Everything! Look up what Medvedev said after watching that bullshit.
And you don’t speak for Zelensky. Saying he doesn’t want peace is completely false. He wants a fair deal. Not some deal that’s going to 100% appease Putin. I have faith that history will prove me right on this.
