Vance Offers Advice To Zelenskyyy: You’re Not Helping Yourself
Posted on 2/20/25 at 2:38 pm

“The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president’s mind by badmouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,” Vance told the Daily Mail in an interview.

You can blame Europe for this hubris. He thinks they are giving him 700B.

Take a page from Vance's book. Kiss Trumps arse and hate him quietly. Look where Vance is today.

Even if Europe did do this, Europe probably doesn’t yet realize Z will be back with his hands out and demanding more from them in relatively short order.

Most of that money never makes it to the front anyway, comrade. The slopes of Aspen are evidently teeming with newly minted Ukrainian billionaires.
All the money in the world doesn’t fix his people problem. Russia has way more soldiers than Z does.

Z wants to blow up the peace process. Continued war is how he stays in power.

I think he’s more enamored with the money than his dictator status, but there’s definitely something there. He was open to negotiating peace early on, then the billions started pouring in and the West under Biden literally took peace off the table. He puffed his little fricking chest back out when Europe promised him that 700B. And I believed they did it to kill the peace talks Trump is trying to usher, since the cessation of US aid was his leverage to get Zelensky to the table.

He sounds like Moe Greene talking to Michael Corleone: “I talked to Barzini - I can make a deal with him and still keep my hotel.”
Of course, we all know how well that ended for Moe Greene.

It's definitely both that he's enamored with. I hate it for the lives that have been lost, and will continue to be lost, until this ends. If EU wants to give him 700B and prolong this war and continue to agitate Russia, that's their demise. But this is where I say, as long as we stop funding it, I don't give a single shite.

God, people who insult others but get so butt hurt when they get insulted back are the most annoying people on the earth.

I’ve been saying it all along. Trump is actually doing the midget a favor. He’s interceding to get terms that will keep the little frick alive. He could just clap his hands, say “I’m out”, and let the chips fall where they may.
At the end of the day, it’s not our fight.

Ya except that makes no sense. Zelensky (even if out of power) will always be a target of Russia.

Then what are we doing getting involved at all?
You just made my argument for me.

Not a fan of Zelenskyy at all. He’s a grifter. However.., I simply can’t imagine the immense pressure he is now under. Without the US money and silly support.. he is in a true pressure cooker and time is ticking down.
The EU is talking collective shite but they aren’t going to do much at all. They are weak as frick and everyone knows it.

At the end of the day, they’ll hang Z out to dry if it’s in their best interest to do so. And realistically, it is.
