Trump goes off on Zelenskyy for making "the worst statement" on the Ukraine-Russia War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s prediction that an end to his country’s years-long war with Russia is “still very, very far away” received an angry rebuke from President Donald Trump on Monday after an explosive confrontation at the White House last week.

“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!” Trump exclaimed in a post to Truth Social, reacting to a report from the Associated Press.

Zelenskyy also appeared to reference British Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying that Europe should do the “heavy lifting” to reach a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia while stressing that the effort “must” have support from the United States to succeed.

“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia,” an emphatic Trump added. “What are they thinking?”

Okay guys, let’s break this down with facts and logic, because the situation with Zelenskyy and Ukraine is a masterclass in diplomatic delusion. 

Over the weekend,  Zelenskyy hobnobbed with European leaders—probably sipping espresso and pontificating about solidarity—while insisting that Ukraine’s “relationship” with the United States would “continue.” This, mind you, comes right after a rare earth minerals deal got torpedoed following his Friday shouting match with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. 

The topic? Ending the Ukraine-Russia war—a conflict where the U.S. has funneled tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to Kyiv like it’s some kind of geopolitical charity case.

Now, here’s where it gets spicy and dicey.

The argument hit fever pitch when Trump—correctly, I might add—told Zelenskyy he’s “gambling with World War III” by not bending over backwards to make peace with Russia. 

Zelenskyy’s response? A veiled threat that the U.S. would “experience the consequences” of this war down the line. Oh, really? That’s the gratitude we get for bankrolling this moron's war effort? America is not your personal ATM.

Then we’ve got Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, laying it out plain as day. He said Zelenskyy “was there to strike some sort of make-believe bargain”—we’re talking $300 billion in reparations and security guarantees, folks—like he’s negotiating a fantasy football trade instead of a path to peace. 

Lutnick’s take? “And, eventually that just ran its course. And Donald Trump said, I can’t take this nonsense anymore, and made it crystal clear he’s the peacemaker. And if Zelenskyy’s not interested in peace, then he should go home and think about it.” 

Boom. Mic drop. Trump’s not here to play games—he’s the adult in the room, while Zelenskyy’s still scribbling in his dream journal.

So, what’s the takeaway? Zelenskyy’s betting on endless American largesse while thumbing his nose at the guy who’s actually trying to stop the world from imploding. Good luck with that, dude. 

Reality doesn’t negotiate with wishful thinking.

Zelenskyy unsure where the $100 billion plus went in US Aid

Zelenskyy made the claim in a recent interview with the Associated Press, where he casually admitted to having no idea the whereabouts of the majority of the funds allocated by the Biden administration.

“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the U.S., that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” he said. “We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about $70 billion.”

"But when it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true," he added. "I don’t know where all that money went."

Zelenskyy claims Ukraine only received around $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid that was sent from the United States. pic.twitter.com/mbdbtljvV1— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 2, 2025

So what's the big deal? Did he check the floor of his car? Maybe it fell under the seats.

"Perhaps it’s true on paper with hundreds of different programs – I won’t argue, and we’re immensely grateful for everything. But in reality, we received about $76 billion," he stated. "It’s significant aid, but it’s not $200 billion."

This means Zelenskyy is unsure of where just over 57 percent of the taxpayer money America sent to Ukraine is right now.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), some of the most vocal supporters of audits for the aid, may have a good point . . . unless, of course, Zee can come up with the dough.

seem like a rare duo who actually care what is happening with the funds and/or military equipment.

“We should immediately stop payments to Ukraine and begin a thorough audit of the $60 billion that Joe Biden and Congress have already sent there,” Massie wrote on X back in 2022.

From the days of bagman Hunter Biden, to the present day, Ukraine has been able to avoid accounting for the money we send them and it's only now that this administration is ready to turn off the money spigot.

In 2023, the Pentagon revealed an accounting "error" amounting to $6,200,000,000 that resulted in a surplus that would later be used in aid packages to the Eastern European nation.

Then-Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh announced the error at a presser, noting it took place in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and was a result of overestimating the value of weapons being sent to Ukraine.

Even the Comedy News Network's Jake Tapper, was shocked when the error was originally reported at $3,000,000,000. He went so far as to call it a "hell of an accounting error” that "provides a lot of fodder to critics ... who say there’s not enough oversight going on.”

One thing is certain: that money went somewhere and did not disappear in a puff of smoke.

Republicans attack Graham's attempt to pass resolution to push Ukraine's admission into NATO

Vladimir Putin

It's likely that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is secretly working for the vast military complex or perhaps a weapons manufacturer, which is basically the same thing. The one main bargaining chip Ukraine has with Russia is the NATO issue and if somehow Graham succeeds in getting Ukraine into NATO, that could spell World War Three--and that isn't hyperbole.

Republicans in both the House and Senate are livid that Graham would push such a militaristic scheme of passing such a bipartisan resolution. Putin would have no choice but to go guns-a-blazing and one cannot even blame him.

Graham tweeted that he thinks there is "overwhelming" support for his proposal in the Senate. He claimed that Ukraine's membership in NATO is "vital to the future security of Europe and the world."

"I will be working with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to pass a resolution urging the admission of Ukraine into NATO," Graham said of the effort. "The best way to prevent future wars and promote peace is to create security guarantees that make aggressor nations think twice before starting wars."

On the contrary--Ukraine's membership in NATO, at the very least, is a deal-breaker for peace in the region.

"Ukrainian NATO membership is vital to the future security of Europe and the world. I believe there is an overwhelming majority of Senators supporting this proposition," the hawkish senator added.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) went after Graham's proposal in a Friday evening tweet, insisting that it is "exactly wrong" and warning that it has the potential to lead the United States into a war with Russia. Rand is correct.

"Absolutely not. This is exactly wrong – as usual – and could very well lead us to war with Russia, something no one should want," Paul said in response to a tweet from Graham.

Not Vladimir Putin

Graham also drew backlash from House Republicans.  Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), tweeted: "I'm sure Lindsey Graham knows this, but this would mean American troops on the ground in Ukraine."

"Dangerous rhetoric from warmonger Graham, whose foreign policy track record means you'd be well advised to do the opposite of what he proposes," Mollie Hemingway posted in a tweet.

But Graham's boots stay home while his bank account grows.

An ardent supporter of Ukraine's defensive efforts and a stolen valor liar, Graham traveled with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) to Kyiv last summer.

During the meeting on the 134th day of the war, Zelenskyy,[wearing his favorite John Fetterman-inspired gym attire], "called on senators to back the decision on providing Ukraine with modern air defense systems," according to his office.

So called President Biden read the teleprompter this week saying that he believes now is not the time for Ukraine to join NATO. But everyone knows that Biden couldn't find it on a map. Hell, he probably couldn't find his butt with both hands.

Another Russian general bites the dust in Kherson, Ukraine

Yet another Russian general has been killed in Ukraine on Saturday, according to Ukraine's military. He is the fifth top leader to be killed since Russia invaded the country on February 24. It isn't typical for generals to be killed in combat as they tend to stay behind the fighting in relative safety, but generally speaking, this has not been the case in this war.

Lieutenant-General Andrey Mordvichev, commander of the 8th army of the southern military district, was killed when Ukrainian forces destroyed a command post at an airfield in Kherson, in southern Ukraine.

Kherson is a port city making it a strategically important area to control.

Mordvichev's death is a solid reminder to the invading Russians that Ukraine is not going to go down without a fight, if it goes down at all.

Meanwhile thousands of civilians are trying to flee Mariupol, which has been under horrific bombardment for weeks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a video warning the Russians that the invasion would take a serious toll on Russia for "several generations." 

The death of thousands of Russian soldiers along with some of their military leaders, is a harsh example of Zelenskyy's words, and come in response to a huge Putin rally held Friday in Moscow. The rally was purportedly held to support Russia's military, but reports claim many of the tens of thousands at Luzhini Stadium said they were “forced” to attend, which rings true based on the protests being held in Russia against the invasion.

In the video, Zelenskyy  accused Russia of deliberately creating "a humanitarian catastrophe" and once again appealed to Putin to meet with him to stop the bloodshed.

Currently, Russian forces are blockading Ukraine's largest cities, hoping to starve the Ukrainians and create miserable conditions that would get them to surrender, Zelenskyy said. He vowed Russia that they would pay the ultimate price (like the generals) and made it clear that Ukraine has no intentions of handing over their country to a scumcrumpet like Putin [my words, not Zelenskyy's].

“The time has come to restore territorial integrity and justice for Ukraine. Otherwise, Russia’s costs will be so high that you will not be able to rise again for several generations,” he said.

Zelenskyy made an analogy using the 200,000 people who were said to be at the rally in Moscow as roughly the same number of Russian troops taking part in the invasion.

“Picture for yourself that in that stadium in Moscow there are 14,000 dead bodies and tens of thousands more injured and maimed,” Zelenskyy said.  “Those are the Russian costs throughout the invasion.”

That seems like a fair analogy but it would have been even more powerful had he spoken about the Ukrainian babies and mothers who had been killed, hospitals and schools that had been bombed, and perhaps shown photos of the destruction. People who have never been to war have no idea of its horrors.

Ukrainian and Russian officials agreed to establish 10 humanitarian corridors for bringing aid in and residents out — one from Mariupol, and several around Kyiv and in the eastern Luhansk region, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Saturday.

She also announced plans to deliver humanitarian aid to Kherson, which was seized by Russian forces.

Vladimir Medinsky, a top Russian negotiator who has led in several rounds of talks with Ukraine, said the two sides are closer to agreement on the issue of Ukraine dropping its bid to join NATO and adopting a neutral status. But the NATO controversy seems to be a smokescreen because while Russia has borders with 14 countries, five border Russia and Putin has shown no concern over their presence. Let's not forget, NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one.

Fighting continued on multiple fronts across the country over the weekend.

Biden bikes at the beach while Ukraine president fights Russian invaders

Biden signals right-hand turn, goes left

Biden took time off from napping at the White House to go back home to Delaware where he went for a bike ride followed by his caretaker as the photo above shows. He later told the media that he won the beach bike race and challenged Trump in a 10K race around the schoolyard.

The photo shows our PINO peddling at Gordons Pond State Park in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Sunday. Coincidentally, Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelenskyy was under heavy fire by the Russian invaders and warned the world of a possible "third world war."

But true to form, this did not affect Joseph Robinette Biden as he peddled on, racing against the guy behind him in what is left of dwindling mind.

Even though Biden has been criticized in the past for leaving his job to screw around in Delaware, we know that he has no clue how to deal with the Russian onslaught, the exploded economy, China and Iran. He prefers to leave those things to "the experts." By that we mean Ron Klain, AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, and Barack, to name a few. 

So the world may go to war again--he's 79--he doesn't give a rat's tush; that's a problem for the kids.

The leftist media is scrambling to get the scoop on what flavor scoop Biden will choose this time. CNN thinks it'll be vanilla, but MSNBC is betting on strawberry. 

Russia has fired a hypersonic ballistic missile into Ukraine and killed dozens of people. 

The PINO is thinking: "Hmm. Maybe I'll fool them all and have pistachio." 

Zelenskyy was interviewed the same day Biden biked. The Ukraine President warned of a third world war if talks with Russia fail, and it seems like a good bet they will because Ukraine isn't going to hand over any land to Putin, whose head seems to have become as round as a bowling ball.

"C'mon, man. Who am I kidding? You can't kid a kidder--I'm gonna go for vanilla again. I love vanilla because so creamy and white."

Zelenskyy said that "any format" should be used in order to have a possibility of negotiating with Russia, specifically with President Vladimir Putin.

"If there is just one percent chance for us to stop this war, I think that we need to take this chance, we need to do that," he added.

"Vanilla it is."

Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi reads Bono poem to comfort Ukrainians who hopefully don't speak English

House Speaker [for now] Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) teased us that she would be reading a poem at Congress' annual Friends of St. Patrick luncheon. The poem was written by Irish rock singer Paul David Hewson [aka Bono] to help assuage the death and destruction on the Ukrainian people because all the Ukrainian people need is love and a Bono poem to take the edge off the war. It seemed as if Pelosi pulled this poem out from her nether regions as it surprised the American public. People on Twitter asked "Why?"

The answer as to "why" may be as simple as to why whenever PINO Joe Biden tries to sound coherent, his words make as much sense as Mandarin does to a Venusian. 

Bono, you may know, is the lead singer of U2, a group named after a spy plane shot down over Russia in 1960 flown by Francis Gary Powers. The poem compared St. Patrick to the Jewish Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

After reading the social media responses to the reading by "Hands-a-Blur," the main statement could be summed up in three letters: WTF. 

The poetry reading and the poem were as bizarre as Brian Stelter's claim that he is straight.

As flagged by Greg Price, Pelosi told the media Thursday morning, “I will be reading a poem written by Bono about Ukraine which you might find interesting.”

One Twitter user opined:

Good god this is getting worse every single day. The kabuki theater and virtue signaling from hell. Only war escalation and zero efforts toward peace. This country is lost

— Paisano™ (@Paisano) March 17, 2022

Paisano is correct, it is Kabuki theater: a form of Japanese dramas where the acting is heavy and the  costumes are elaborate. In this case, Nancy Pelosi was trying to be serious but she wasn't able to pull it off.

Some additional tweets from a few blue checks:

Third in line. 81 years old. Unhinged. https://t.co/XGspycexUi

— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine)

Imagine if Pelosi became POTUS.

Immediately prior to introducing River Dance, that Irish tap dancing where the legs moved at the speed of sound while the arms and torso remained straight up, Pelosi read the Bono poem. It sounded like it was written as a "go to the blackboard and write a poem" high school assignment and Nancy didn't pull it off very well either.

“I got this message this morning from Bono,” Pelosi said before reading the rhyme. “Most of us — whether we’re in Ireland or here — Bono has been a very Irish part of our lives,” she added.

Here's the poem:

Oh Saint Patrick he drove out the snakes; With his prayers but that’s not all it takes; For the snake symbolizes; An evil that rises; And hides in your heart; As it breaks; And the evil has risen my friends; From the darkness that lives in some men; But in sorrow and fear; That’s when saints can appear; To drive out those old snakes once again; And they struggle for us to be free; From the psycho in this human family; Ireland’s sorrow and pain; Is now the Ukraine; And Saint Patrick’s name now Zelenskyy.

The Federalist’s Ben Domenech tweeted something that some may have considered:

Is this a prank? Did someone pretend to be Bono and sent her this?

— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) March 17, 2022

Pelosi was simply keeping in the same form as she did when, on January 6, she invited the cast of the broadway musical “Hamilton” to preform one of its songs and discuss equity.

The next thing you know, Hollywood will use Stacy Abrams to play President of the Earth. Oh wait, they did.

As weird as the Jan. 6 "Hamilton" appearance was, and Stacy Abrams playing President of the Earth, this limerick-sounding rhyme was the winner of the Weirdest Thing A Leading Democrat Has Done award.

Perhaps Nancy Pelosi, with the help of Bono, are hoping to cause Russian President Vladimir Putin to laugh himself to death. They already tried and failed doing that with Rear Admiral Rachel Levine.

Russia brought along thermobaric missiles and that would be brutal shock and awe

Putin may be evil as hell but he is not crazy--he's determined to take Ukraine and start what looks to be a rebuilding of a Soviet empire as he always dreamed. But let me again emphasize how evil this bastard is.

Thermobaric missiles have been reportedly been seen heading from Russia to Ukraine. Putin used this type of weapon both in Chechnya and Syria and they are devastating. Officials say they would cause "indiscriminate violence."

A thermobaric missile contains a mixture of highly explosive chemicals and fuel. When it detonates it sends out supersonic blast waves capable of tearing through buildings. Reports say the Russian Tos-1 Buratino missiles have been seen traveling into Ukraine and as yet, have not been used.

The Soviet Union and United States were the two nations that developed this weapon in the 1960s. They are often referred to as the "father of all bombs." These violent weapons suck out all the oxygen in the surrounding area of detonation creating incredibly high temperatures, and for this, they are also dubbed "vacuum bombs." The number of humans one of these devices can kill in the nearby area is devastating.

The US dropped a thermobaric missile on the Taliban in 2017--it weighed 21,600 pounds and left a crater 300 meters wide.

Russia, however, reportedly detonated the largest thermobaric bomb ever made in 2007, resulting in an explosion equivalent to 39.9 tons of TNT.

On Friday, officials were openly fearful that Putin, being the crazy person that he is, would use a thermobaric missile, The Telegraph reported. If Russian troops continue to be thwarted by the Ukrainian people, you cannot rule out Putin going ahead with firing this weapon at the Ukrainian.

Putin is frustrated and impatient, therefore he is unpredictable. Should he go ahead and use this horrible weapon, we don't know how the world will react. However, the Russian people have had the guts to protest this war and over a thousand have already been arrested for demonstrating. 

Hopefully Putin will come to his senses or somebody will have the courage to take him out of the equation before the Russians take out President Zelenskyy.
