The bonhomie between Z and Donald probably does not mean our war will end within 24 hours, even before the latter takes office.
What he said in September:
[…] But what’s happening in Ukraine is a very serious matter. Let’s say we did settle and a deal would have been made with Russia years ago, three years ago, before it all began. And we could have made a deal easily. Could have made it easily.
If we had a president who was intelligent, we could have made a deal easily. But what do you have left now, right? Three years of horrible fighting. The country is absolutely obliterated. Millions and millions of people, including all of these great soldiers, they’re dead. Those gorgeous buildings with golden towers are demolished and laying broken on their side. And you’ll never see that kind of a town or city again. It can never be duplicated.
They’re all demolished other than Kyiv. You’ll never be able to rebuild the cities or towns the way they are. Impossible to do. They were thousands of years old.
And just think about it. Just three years ago, you had a beautiful civilization. Millions of people that were living that are now not with us any longer. Magnificent towns and cities that were so beautiful could never be reconstructed. Other than Kyiv, which is actually starting to be hit right now. He wanted to save that. Most of the country is gone. The heritage is gone.
So many people are dead. Many people have left for Poland, for Hungary, and for other places, never to return. And that includes many, many Russian soldiers are dead. A deal could have been made. There wouldn’t have been one person that died. And there wouldn’t have been one golden tower laying shattered on its side. A deal could have been made if we had a competent president instead of a president that egged it all on.
And Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before. Every time he came to our country, he’d walk away with $60 billion. He’s probably the greatest salesman on Earth. But now Ukraine is running out of soldiers. They’re using young children and old men because their soldiers are dying and other things are happening to them that we won’t even discuss.
So many are badly injured. Now, what do you have? What deal can we make? What deal can we make? It’s demolished. The people are dead. The country is in rubble. And who are these people that allowed this to happen? Who are these people? I said, don’t let it happen. This never happened in my four years. I told President Putin, you’re not going to do it.
He would never have done it. They started to form after I left. And I actually thought they were forming as a negotiating tactic for Putin. I thought it was a negotiation.
But through a lot of bad statements and stupid statements, he went in and he’s no angel. It’s all such a horror. And Harris caused this situation by the stupidity of what they said, by every move they make. But they caused this situation and now they’re locked in. They’re locked in. I watched this poor guy yesterday at the United Nations. He didn’t know what he was saying. They just don’t know what to do.
They’re locked into a situation. It’s sad. They just don’t know what to do. Because Ukraine is gone. It’s not Ukraine anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns. And you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people. Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.
If they made a bad deal, it would have been much better. They would have given up a little bit. And everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years. And it will only get worse with these people.
Kamala doesn’t even know what she’s doing. More people will die. More cities will fall. The ones that fell will continue to receive more and more bombs. They’ll be broken up, asunder, worse than they are right now. Nothing is standing. The crops are dying. There’s really nothing for the Ukrainian people to move back to.
And it didn’t need to happen. Those buildings are down. Those cities are gone. They’re gone. And we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated. Not possible to be rebuilt.
It’ll take hundreds of years to rebuild it. There’s not enough money to rebuild it if the whole world got together. They’re not going to be satisfied until they send American kids over to Ukraine, and that’s what they’re trying to do. And the moms and dads of America don’t want their kids fighting Ukraine and Russia […]
Depravity is an underused political category. Re-electing Donald represents the ultimate crime against punishment. This time around, at least, he didn’t have to call state officials asking for tens of thousands of votes.
Time is probably not on our side if Richard is picked to delouse foggy bottom. He has floated the idea of establishing “autonomous regions” in areas of Russia-occupied Ukraine.
Rapid unpredictable positive change is unlikely, judging by months of bad news about continuing advances in eastern Ukraine with arrows on war maps all pointing in the wrong direction.
Z had problems w/ teleprompter last night.
