President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that Ukraine risks losing the war if aid from the new U.S. administration is cut. "Of course, anyway, we will stay, and we will fight. We have production, but it's not enough to prevail. And I think it is not enough to survive."

    Gorilla pain, gorilla bleed, but big gorilla strong, big gorilla stronger than wrong gorilla, big gorilla kill wrong gorilla if big gorilla strong.

    Trump combined with people who made him president doesn’t have the weaknesses Trump taken alone has, that includes his narcissism.

    Zelensky had a dubious, but real chance to have a better deal to (maybe temporarily, but time works in favor of the countries having access to Western weaponry, not their enemies) end the war. That was like a year+ ago. Also at that point Ukraine’s losses could be called justifiable.

    Frankly I don’t think that mostly successfully defending against a 3+ times stronger enemy is something that can’t be turned into a success by propaganda. There’s nothing more to be achieved until demographic tendencies are reverted and people from front lines return into workforce.

    And Ukraine joining NATO just didn’t ever seem likely.

    Zelensky, God love him, is trying to appeal to Trump’s ego, but I don’t think it’ll be successful. Trump simply enjoys sucking Putin’s cock too much.

      I don’t take part in a god, but you’re right about him trying to appeal to Trump’s desire to “make a deal”. However, I don’t think trump likes sucking putins dick. He’s a narcissist. He clearly wouldn’t like or respect anyone else. This is all because Putin has dirt on trump, that trump absolutely can’t allow to get out. That’s why he sucks cock, not because he enjoys it, but because he knows the gallows are waiting for him if he doesn’t.

        I don’t think there is any dirt on Trump that could do actual damage at this point. His base hasn’t dropped him after all the heinous things that have come out so far. They have zero morals.

          Agreed, that doesn’t mean that said dirt doesn’t exist and that trump doesn’t want it out there. I would bet that it has something to do with the tiny mushroom and a child.
