Should add that Z's ploy with the minerals deal is to trap the US into providing a security guarantee.Minerals deal was Z's idea to begin with. His grand idea to keep the US involved in the conflict and he is willing to part with half the minerals or whatever his country produces.
Luzyanin said the main symbol of American foreign policy was Trump’s “insane, enormously long signature,” and that Trump was “sawing through the Western world.”
Host Yevgeny Popov quipped that Trump was doing Russia’s job for it.
“We wanted to saw the Western world into pieces, but he decided to saw through it himself,” Popov said.
Z wants some military enforcement atleast from his perspective while Trump says US presence would be a security guarantee enough both needs to find common ground in this.Should add that Z's ploy with the minerals deal is to trap the US into providing a security guarantee.
Thing is Trump has flat out refused to offer any security guarantee
In simple terms, Z wants regional geo-political level security for his country, well vetted arranged resources sharing is a compromise.Z wants some military enforcement atleast from his perspective while Trump says US presence would be a security guarantee enough both needs to find common ground in this.
Not going to be easy considering Z words for him and Trump isn't one to take such words without action considering he's instead lessening pressure on russians let's see on how it plays out from here on after this disastrous meeting.In simple terms, Z wants regional geo-political level security for his country, well vetted arranged resources sharing is a compromise.
DTrump just want to extract UA's resources without any conditions, security is an after thought, once required resources accumulated UA will be again in trouble. Basically, DTrump's offer is mere hafta vasuli.
Moreover, didn't Z speak against dtrump in Pennsylvania before elections. What the heck was Z thinking ?Not going to be easy considering Z words for him
Feels this was planned on purpose and Z fell in right into the trap.how it plays out from here on after this disastrous meeting.
Yep and JD Vance even brought that to his face while they were arguing about it and tbh there would have been a deal everything was set and ready with binders to the podiums but it was also probably because of how easy it was for Z to get support like he has from the Eu and Biden administration he thought he could get a leverage over the deal which was a bad idea considering Trump's background.Moreover, didn't Z speak against dtrump in Pennsylvania before elections.

Always felt this Z dude slinky creepy. Billions of monies spent on nothing but destruction, brutal disaster and suffering of human life for all over the world and here it is...

That's not really campaigning. Howdy Modi also happened just before US elections (Sep 19) and was an actual rally with Trump, while this was just a plant visit, you will also have to classify that as foreign interference then.His criticism stems from a September 2024 visit to a munitions plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a battleground state that narrowly backed Trump in November.
"I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all the employees at the plant and by reaching agreements to expand cooperation between Pennsylvania and our Zaporizhzhia," Zelensky wrote in a post to X at the time. "It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail. Thanks to people like these—in Ukraine, in America, and in all partner countries—who work tirelessly to ensure that life is protected."
Although the visit was not billed as a campaign event, Republicans alleged it amounted to a campaign stop, arguing that it was inappropriate for a foreign leader to attend a political event just weeks before a crucial election. It spurred investigations from House Republicans about whether Zelensky's appearance was an improper use of tax dollars.
