I'm not sure if it was a setup, it took some time and effort to organize that meeting and everyone was convinced Zelensky was going to sign a deal that would make Trump look good, the MSM sure thought so.. on the other hand, it is Trump, I could see him pull a stand like that, and as he said, it makes for some great television..Cannonpointer » 02 Mar 2025, 8:47 pm » wrote: ↑ Ya know, I've had time to think, reflect, check with sources I trust, and I have changed my perspective on what happened at the white house.
I think Zelenski got played out of pocket. I think they set him up, so that they can walk away and not be called putin puppets. They knew he was an emotional shorty - and they worked him until he blew a head gasket.
Trump was in on the overthrow of Russia - which is what the proxy war was INTENDED to produce - up to his orange neck. First to arm Ukraine. First to impose meaningful sanctions. And first to fold up shop in a hurry when the bet went south. That is a strength that Trump has shown himself to possess over and over and over again: the intelligence to walk away from a bad bet - to not throw good money after bad.
Against every assumption the west held as a truism, Russia stood. Sanctioned, it found new trading partners in currencies the west could not seize. Robbed, it dug deep and the people tightened their belts and stood behind their leader. Attacked with the weapons of 30 nations, Russia unleashed its industrial might and met and exceeded the strength of all those weapons. And it wore the American proxy to a nub. Everyone knows the deal is a bust - it's just Trump who refuses to spend a lot of time and energy and resources trying to save face. Instead, he expertly offloads the blame on Zelenski and the costs on Europe, and sneaks out the back with a bag of cash, leaving the liabilities for the cleanup crew (which rhymes with EU).
