What should Zelensky do next? Apologize......and make the deal to save his country.

[2aguy]

This is exactly right...

Second, in the (likely) event that Europe is 100% talk and 0% action, Zelenskyy better start groveling ASAP. ( Europe is all talk....they are not going to send one soldier to help Ukraine.)

He should schedule a return meeting at the White House at Trump’s earliest convenience. Then, Zelenskyy should show up — on time! — with a clean shave, wearing a tuxedo. (Hell, he should bring a bouquet of flowers for the First Lady while he’s at it.)

And he should apologize.

There’s nothing shameful about saying you’re sorry. All Zelenskyy has to say is something like, “I’m so passionate about my country; sometimes my emotions get the better of me. Over the last three years, I’ve consoled so many mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters — and some of their stories are so tragic and haunting, it’s heartbreaking. But I know I must keep my emotions in check; not just for the good of my people, but for the good of all people. Mr. President, I apologize for my behavior in the White House. Ukraine is grateful, thankful, and appreciative of America’s generosity. War is hell, and if there’s a chance to stop the killing, it’s absolutely worth pursuing.”

There’s a liberal theory that Trump and Vance planned this “ambush” of Zelenskyy, hoping to embarrass the Ukrainian leader on national TV. This is complete and utter nonsense: Trump wants to be known as a great dealmaker. He didn’t want to embarrass Zelenskyy; he wanted him to sign a deal.

Trump still does.

In a weird way, if he could get Zelenskyy to sign to a deal after this high-octane kerfuffle, it would be an even greater accomplishment. Which means that Zelenskyy will probably get another bite at the apple.

He better not blow it.

Because I don’t think he’ll get a third.

So What Should Zelenskyy Do Now?

Eat a big heaping helping of humble pie, put on a suit, shut his fucking yap, and go sign the deal the he already agreed to.

Nope! The Europeans were the ones who told the Zalensky to keep fighting! They own it now.
Americans are smelly anyway! Nobody wants them around.... Our presence is not wanted and our money is not needed.... I mean they just got done spending two days saying this!

Look at it this way:

1. Let's say Zelensky is right and the EU backs him to the nines 100% and they clobber Russia: Then Trump was smart, he got totally out of the Ukraine war, saved us billions of dollars, and finally got Europe to grow a pair.
2. But let's say Zelensky is wrong, the EU stiffs him, and the war goes very badly for Ukraine with Zelensky crawling back to us on his knees: Then Trump was even smarter, Zelensky has no hand left and now the USA carries all the cards. We are now in a position to dictate anything with the USA an even bigger winner.

Frankly, I don't even want that monkey back in our country, with or without suit, with or without hat in hand. He can deal with Trump over the phone now, or better still, have Trump send some intermediary to meet Zelensky somewhere to settle the details for him.

 

[Maxdeath]

Must admit I am a bit confused here. The Biden administration claims they have given Ukraine billions. Zelensky says it is no where near that amount. So if he did not get that much then why is he so combative?
If you are getting only crumbs and the rest is being diverted why get in such a wad?

Trump is a very magnanimous and non vindictive guy though. He does not carry a grudge and he is quick to forgive and forget those who have criticized or wronged him if they do a turnabout and meet him halfway to make amends.

There were no two people more verbally combative with Trump in 2016 than Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Now Ted is one of Trump's strongest supporters (and vice versa) and Rubio is Trump's Secretary of State.

If Zelensky does a turnaround and seeks peace and honor and honesty, he would be greeted warmly and generously in the Oval Office.

Either way trump has thrown away any respect the world has for him. World leaders already laugh at his childish behavior before his tantrum.

You really are dumb.........Trump is the only real leader in this situation......get back to us when Europe ponies up as much money as the U.S. and begins to conscript their welfare dependent citizens to fill the ranks fighting on the Russian front.

America has not put 200 billion into Ukraine.

Yep pretty much.

How much has the US given to Ukraine?

President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the US has given over $300bn to Ukraine, but he is incorrect.

Let me ask you a question.
The Biden administration says they gave Ukraine a little over 170 billion dollars in help. Zelensky claims it is not even close to that amount. Now if Zelensky is lying and lining his pockets with the money at the expense of the Ukraine people should we not stop that? If the Biden administration was inflating the amount that was sent should we not stop whoever is lining their pockets over here at the expense of the Ukrainian people before we send more?
Or do we not care that much about the Ukrainian people and just care about looks?

 

[Rawley]

Europe has paid as much as we have.

And now they can pick of the rest. Win/win
