Trump Pushes a Fading Zelenskiy Toward a Risky Ukraine Election

The comedian-turned-wartime president is at a crossroads
Trump is pressing for a vote that plays into Putin’s hands

Volodymyr Zelenskiy knows a thing or two about wearing different guises. As a comedian, humor was his armor. As a wartime leader it was military fatigues. But there was no disguising the sense of betrayal reverberating in Ukraine as the president put on a brave face to let the world know about his latest dispiriting call with Donald Trump.

The US president had earlier spoken for 90 minutes with Vladimir Putin and for all intents and purposes sold Ukraine out, extinguishing any hope for NATO membership or American boots on ground. Russia would probably keep most of the territory it had snatched over the years. All Zelenskiy could do or say about Trump was to “appreciate his genuine interest.”

1. Europe really needs to step up

and fill the void, as much as possible, left by the U.S. under the Russian stooge.

2. The whole thing makes me so sad.

I love Zelenskyy. He’s an amazing person.

I didn't know until today that child porn is legal in Russia. That threw me way off kilter and I still am not over the shock and horror. I think of all of the poor kidnapped Ukraini children anyway. But now, learning that?

No telling what Putin’s holding over President Psychopath but now I have an idea and it's definitely worse than I originally thought.

In other news...Nollie has learned to sit on command. I'm so proud of her. Training is twice a day between naps, playing, eating, teething and potty time. And she's doing a great job with the last one!

She's had one accident but as of today she has started letting me know when she needs help. Still protecting me from my feet, too.

I love her so much.

Thanks for your reply, True. ❤️

3. So glad you have Nollie, LMSP

The world is becoming more chaotic by the day with Orange Mussolini at the helm. But that little puppy will give you unconditional love despite it all.
