  1. Never mind the fact that Zalensky is a HEAD OF STATE, not some underling. Trump spoke directly with Putin and then begins repeating Russian propaganda and trash talking Zalensky while an underling is presenting a ridiculous deal to Zalensky.

  2. Exactly. "oh, we can't help you because you weren't in NATO the instant you were invaded."

  3. Russia is the perfect example of how bad it is to have no friends. Trump is now trying to turn America into a Russia.

  4. Trump has never been punished for just making stuff up. So, he keeps doing it.

  5.  @cameronspence4977  you have to blame Afghanistan on Dubya. There was never going to be a way to withdraw with the Taliban just hanging out in the mountains waiting. Troops never should've been on the ground and didn't need to be on the ground. Al Qaeda as a threat could've been entirely eliminated from the air. The Taliban ran for the hills as the aerial attacks started. If they Afghanis had any interest in self governance (which hindsight proves they didn't), they would've had that opportunity to take the country for themselves. If after 20 years, an entire generation of young adults who were raised under democracy, the people had no desire or will to fight the Taliban (despite being trained and well equipped to do so for 2 decades), there's nothing ANY US president could do except occupy the country permanently. For contrast, look at Ukraine. Without 20 years of training and with a tiny fraction of the $2.7 TRILLION dollars we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, they held the "2nd strongest military in the world" off after the initial push and even pushed back in several areas, completely chased Russia out of the Black Sea, and have nullified Russian air power advantage (and ground based air defenses proliferation) to the point that Ukraine is actually conducting air operations in support of the Kursk SMO. Ukraine got to THAT level in just 2 years (and throw down their weapons and take off their uniforms) at a significantly lower $ cost than what was wasted on Afghanistan. Even if you're against Ukraine or spending money in the US building new equipment for us while we give them surplus and hand me downs, you can't argue that Ukraine is a worse value than Afghanistan. Again, Afghanistan is a Dubya failure. He had no exit strategy when he put Americans on that foreign soil. That's another value of Ukraine. WE aren't having to do the fighting, merely supply a friendly, already democratic country.

  6. 11:00 that reminds me... Britain shouldn't have gotten into that war with Germany. What were they thinking? As it turns out, it was a bad decision because Britain obviously lost to the stronger German Wermacht.

  7. It's almost like you're saying a r*pe victim shouldn't be apologizing to their r*pist...

  8. 12:39 Elon and Trump are correct that too many people have lost their lives and had their lives shattered. However, this can all end TOMORROW if RUSSIA LEAVES UKRAINE. The sooner the West gives Ukraine everything they need to make staying in Ukraine untenable for Russia, the sooner Russia will withdraw. We have seen proof that Russia absolutely can withdraw when staying has become untenable. Russia withdrew from Afghanistan, Russia withdrew from Georgia in their first invasion, "mighty" Russia recently withdrew from Syria. Stop fearing the paper bear.

  9. 17:45 this "trip wire" sounds a lot like Obama and Putin's red lines. Russia breaks the agreement and all NATO countries are free to hem and haw about how they can't do anything to help. Even if the agreement was "Ukraine is automatically admitted to NATO and article 5 is immediately triggered", NATO nations are free to do nothing. There's nothing preventing NATO countries from not doing nothing. This is an equivalent to the Budapest Memorandum. Here's some sunshine, hopes, and dreams. Now, go protect yourself with it!

  10. 8:40 Putin has broken every national security agreement that Russia had with Ukraine since 1992. Why on earth would anyone believe that Putin is NOW going to be a good boy?

  11. 1:26 What deal is Trump going to make with Putin to stop the war in Ukraine? Trump will invade from the west and the 2 can divide up Ukraine??

  12. 4:59 Russia only understands strength. Russia is 100% in the wrong by being in Ukraine. In his "truth propaganda", Prigozhin even admitted Ukraine was never an existential threat to Russia. Giving Russia ANYTHING except safe withdrawal from Ukraine for their troops is reinforcing Putin's belief that the West is weak and afraid of Russia's strength. This will only lead to more aggression from Russia.

  13. Facts. Trump is using the office of President as an infomercial to sell Trump and Ivana Coin. Putin and Xi Jinping appear to be putting in large orders. Trump is selling out America to fund his own retirement and thinks it's good entertainment watching King Elon mess around.

  14. 8:05 Zalensky tried to deal with Trump by being magnanimous. In response, Trump sent an underling to offer a ridiculous deal to Ukraine whole Trump spoke directly with Putin and then started repeating Russian propaganda and trash talking Zalensky. Zalensky is over it, just as he is with the UN and Zalensky is treating Trump with all the respect Trump deserves.

  15. 13:30 Putin can't make any deal other than "trade Russian territory for Ukrainian territory" as long as Ukraine maintains the integrity of the Kursk SMO.
