That's how I was hearing it. What does Z have going on behind the scenes to give him such confidence in speaking that way to the USA?


The democrats and some Rs like Ms. Lindsey.

He likely thinks they'll sabotage Trump unless support for Litlle Z continues.

Yes, I do believe he just 'burned' himself. After that misguided exchange , he can't be of any good use to any of his puppeteers... they will replace him with someone that can stick to a script.

Z thinks making veiled threats will work. He’s sorely mistaken.

We should get Z and Putin in the same room and negotiate a deal that keeps a US peacekeeping force in place to extract the minerals that cover our investment + interest. Then, dip out and let the Russians keep the claimed areas.

Other targets, or USA? I don't think many believe that line of reasoning either way- it sounded far more personal than that, anyway.

Unless Zelensky was meaning something more sinister, as in influence like more attempts of Trump’s life from globalist nut jobs.

That if we don't stop Putin then he eventually come for us as well. It's a ridiculous assertion.

Anybody implying it meant anything besides "Russia will eventually come for you" are either being intellectually dishonest or have zero critical thinking skills. I can disagree with Z's point without abandoning all integrity and pretending he said something he didn't

Sounds to me like he was saying the USA is safe and insulated from attack by the Atlantic Ocean. And if Russia controls more of Europe, then the USA will be less safe. Just a matter of time.

His miscalculation was that he thought this would appeal to Trump’s sensibilities the same way as it does to Europeans.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that Russia would start an armed conflict, but they absolutely are a destabilizing force in the area. Basically think of much much more meddling in other peoples shite once they are done with Ukraine.

The reason it may have seemed more personal is purely recency bias of not great relations the last month. Z’s talking point has always been what Russia does in Europe will effect us even though there’s an ocean between us.

Truth be told, I took it to be sinister.

Don't care... russia power expanding, DS attacking Trump. Who gives a frick about any words that come out of his mouth. Sign on the line... end the war. Other his signature, you shouldn't care.

This little dick was demanding Russia pull out and pay rebuild Ukraine. What a freaking delusional idiot the DS put in power. But he is just doing their bidding.

Then he is beyond stupid in making that assertion.

If the USSR didn’t come for us, then Russia sure as frick isn’t.

What a moronic proclamation by that dwarf of a Ukrainian con man.

You are going to have to provide links to those talking points.

Yes, the USSR never supported the North Koreans and the Vietnamese against us (essentially what we are doing now). Open a history book already.
