Trump and Zelensky hold talks in Davos

Always in His Presence said:

Trump said he believed Ukraine and Russia were "reasonably close" to a peace deal, saying the sides would be "stupid" not to reach an agreement.

Two more weeks.

How many times will people fall for this?

Given the widely reported stories of Trump's mental decline, and the increasing numbers of Republicans who--if not seeing the truth for the first time--are gaining the courage to concur, Zelensky would be wise to wait out Trump's inevitable demise and get a better "deal" from a more responsible replacement.

I hate what this brave hero has been put through, but I have also seen time after time where Trump hurts the good and rewards the evil.

Just two weeks ago he pardoned my (area's) Congressman's son, serving 8 years for selling meth. I tried to forgive him, because this week the Congressman's wife died. It is possible, if improbable, that Trump pardoned him so his mother would be able to see him, and know he had been released. More likely, he wanted insurance that this Congressman, who has had minor differences with Trump on financial issues, would fall into lockstep with him.

Maybe if you read Rasmussen only?

I guess security agreements are in now, and land concessions???

Zelensky had a few words for the EU leaders who have their brains in the metaverse.

Despite Trump’s limited and scattershot support for Ukraine since taking office one year ago, Zelenskyy focused instead on Europe’s role in the conflict, accusing the continent’s leaders of complacency and inaction.

“Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words ‘Europe needs to know how to defend itself’,” Zelenskyy said. “A year has passed, and nothing has changed.”

Zelenskyy said: “Everyone gave attention to Greenland, and it is clear most leaders are not sure what to do about it. It seems like everyone is just waiting for America to cool down on this topic, hoping it will pass away. But what if it [does] not: what then?”

(The virtue signal is a waste of money. This was so dumb!)

Zelenskyy said: “Sending 14 or 40 soldiers to Greenland – what is that meant to achieve? What message does that send to Putin? To China? And perhaps, most importantly, what message does it send to Denmark?”

(This is why EU leaders are boisterous in speech, because they have Big Brother behind them.)

“Today, Europe relies only on the belief that if danger comes, then Nato will react. But no one has really seen the alliance in action. If Putin decides to take Lithuania or strike Poland, who will respond? Right now, Nato exists thanks to the belief that the United States will act … but what if it doesn’t?”
