So we approve another huge aid package to Ukraine and according to Trump Zelenskyy wants to meet with him at Trump Tower.

All I have to say is be careful there Teflon Don, no doubt if this occurs the Left will squeal like little pigs.

Has anybody else heard this, and what does our UK and European contingent think

BREAKING: Trump just announced that Zelenskyy has requested to meet with him tomorrow at Trump Tower, and he has accepted the meeting to talk about negotiating the END of the war between Ukraine and Russia

Even Zelenskyy knows Trump's return is imminent. Other world leaders are also scrambling to set up meetings with Trump.

The aid package wasn't "huge". It was 7.9 $Billion. That's about 0.03% of our GDP. Approximately the same amount we spend on potato chips per year.

What is wrong with you? That’s a lot of money, taxpayer dollars at that. Ya know, money that should be being used here to solve America’s problems, not being wasted on a money laundering scheme in disguise of some umwinnable war, in some other country.

Do you even know where that moneys going? It’s funding their banks, businesses, payrolls and pensions and god knows what else. Screw them and their war they can’t win, we’re nothing more than a endless money pot they feel they can tap into at any beckon moment. Ukraine can go pound sand, we have better things to do with that money at home, then throw it away. 😡

Does everyone know what they're getting the Zelensky's for Christmas? They're on your list. I think a nice house warming gift for the residence we bought them in Tuscany should do!

I was thinking something for the house we bought them in Florida right after this started...maybe their very own hurricane?

Hurricane Olena has a nice ring, don't you think?

I can't imagine why Zelensky would want to meet with Trump, unless it's to bribe and/or threaten him. The only other reason I can think of is world leaders know something we don't and want to make nice with Trump to get the crosshairs off of themselves.

Not sure if I've understood you correctly here.
Are you saying that if Trump meets Zelensky his life could be in danger?
Who from, Zelensky or Putin?

That would be remarkably reckless and surely result in a massive response from the US.....wouldn't it?

I was thinking that Trump was putting Zelinski's life at risk, by announcing the time and place of their meeting. I know that Trump Tower has been fortified by the Secret Service, but if I was Zelinski's security team, I wouldn't trust them. I'd send a Zelinski body double to meet with Trump. I doubt Trump wuold know the difference.

Not your Wheaties AGAIN 🙄🙄🙄

TRUMP: "This is a war that should have never happened. It should have never happened, and it wouldn't have happened -- We'll get it solved."

he vow to end the Russia/Ukraine war.

I guess Zelenski wants to get in the cure.

What? Not sure what my breakfast cereal has to do with anything...🙄 But;

Under the watchful eye of Trump's security and the Secret Service, there have been 2 assassination attempts.

a reply to: KrustyKrab

It isn't cash wired to Zelenky's bank account

It's the book value of the weapons, munitions and equipment sent.

Most of which would have been decommissioned, at great cost.

Do you really think you are just sending all that in dollars?

Nobody wants to kill Zelenskyy.

He enables the skimming of millions of dollars to liberals in America.

And Putin loves his incompetence as a military leader. That's why Zelenskyy can give personal guided tours to visitors when they arrive in Ukraine, without fear of being droned.

The comedian turned military leader, and Golden goose for the corrupt, is safe.

Politicians say they’ll do stuff all the time. A politicians word is worth about as much as a Zimbabwean bank note.

Trump said he was going to reduce or eliminate the debt and then had one of the highest one term debt admins.

Luckily it looks like he’ll become president, so we shall see.

a reply to: WeMustCare

Well, he is still fighting the invader and succeeding in fomenting unprecedented outspoken opposition to Putin which ain't bad for a former comedian.

When Mr P mistakenly supposed he'd defeat Ukraine easily.

As for military incompetence, Russia is displaying that in spades.

Reagan starred in comedy films. Turned out he was one of your finest Presidents.

Quite how you can see fit to call Zelensky an incompetent military leader simply beggars belief.

a reply to: WeMustCare

And Putin loves his incompetence as a military leader.

Where’s that put Russia? They currently have land occupied by Ukraine, and have for months.

a reply to: CriticalStinker

And how many of Putin's military leaders has he sacked or had disappeared for incompetence or corruption?

You should be thanking the Democrats for those 2 attempts, I am sure you are in the group that thinks the 3rd time is a charm.

If anything Zelensky's goons could try to take Trump out to keep the Democrat gravy train rolling for him.

I didn’t say all of it. But you’re wrong and it certainly isn’t just for weapons, ammunition and equipment and some of it is absolutely going into Zelenskyy’s bank account in the form of government payroll. It’s going into theire payrolls, pensions, hospitals, social programs and the list goes on…….

There’s a lot online about it if you care to educate yourself on the matter. These are also not the only places the money is going. There’s also funding going to their banks and whatever else they can find that needs “essential” funds. Don’t be so naive carpy.

The United States has thus far contributed $19.25 billion in budget support to enable the Government of Ukraine to pay salaries of first responders and government officials, meet pension obligations, and operate hospitals. The United States and the OECD continue to further deepen and strengthen our cooperation with Ukraine to support its recovery.

The new aid will help Ukraine pay government salaries, pensions and fund social programs necessary to avoid a worsening of the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia's invasion of its southwestern neighbor.

WASHINGTON — Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine started in February, talks of support for Kyiv have largely centered around weapons and ammunition. But Washington is also sending large amounts of money to fund Ukrainian government operations, U.S. officials said this week, as U.S. and European officials affirmed support for Ukraine’s reconstruction, following the conclusion of the recent Lugano Conference. The United States is “proud to be the largest single country donor to Ukraine” and will be delivering “billions more of assistance” in the coming months, announced Karen Donfried, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, at an event in Washington on Thursday. Those sums include “billions in needed direct budget assistance,” she said.

Very US centric of you. Plenty of other countries are aiding Ukraine who have nothing to do with Democrats in the US.

And no, I don't want Trump assassinated.

a reply to: RazorV66

Trump sent aid to Ukraine, and was the first admin to send lethal aid to them.

Was he in on it too?

Zelenskyy met with Kamala 2 days ago and nobody cared.
😁

a reply to: KrustyKrab

Yes, and most of it is in the value of stuff sent.

I know you didn't say all of it, but plenty of folk seem to think it's all in cash.

A considerable amount of that “stuff” is in cold hard cash. At the end of the day everything sent cost a lot of US taxpayer Benjamin’s. It’s BS, period and I’m sick of funding it.

a reply to: KrustyKrab

Then just appease a dictator and say "hello" to the re-establishment of the new USSR and give Putin the green light to take back former Soviet vassal states back into the fold.

Is that what you want?
