Absolutely. Zelensky needs to keep saying no. #StandWithUkraine

It’s shocking that Zelenskyy is faced with the “lesser” of 2 EVILS! 😡

The irony is, signing a deal with either Trump or Putin isn't worth the paper it's written on. Neither one answers to "rules"

And we're only at the one month mark. Who will he swindle or extort after he gives up Ukraine to his puppet master?

Beyond the utter immorality represented by this demand, Zelenskyy is smart enough to understand that Trump will immediately violate it. Ask for more.

Trump can’t be trusted even for a moment. World leaders know this. It will have disastrous consequences for the US.

Not the best way to lead off a negotiation--especially one with such high stakes. Polite precision with real power and allies aligned behind you is a good way start. Putin & China are not allies. Neither align with democratic values.

That’s exactly what it is, but it’s how organized crime works, so not surprising.

Hopefully their response was along the lines of "When you're done with playground bully tantrums, there's a seat for you at the diplomatic table. Until then go away the adults are talking.".
Yes, how dare Ukraine not hand their lunch money to Putin. Totally their fault for getting punched.*eyeroll*

Vladimir Putin is the puppet master and Trump is the puppet. And the Republicans in the Senate and House are mere spineless minions. Disgraceful! Every single Republican in Congress must be voted out!

It seems like if the richest man in the world wants a half trillion dollars in minerals, he should just buy them with his immense wealth or trade his companies for them. It does not make sense for him to interfere in global politics just so he can get free minerals from Ukraine and Greenland.
