    Oil supply low means less funds for Ukraine too as the Europeans will get hurt too with price hike. Russian oil will be more expensive and China will be buy more and more and so will India and Turkey at a premium. The waiver is the right call for everyone because due to this war Russia wins and Ukraine loses regardless of waiver or not.

    Zelenskyy’s not wrong, but when you look at the ocean of bad decisions happening right now, I think this doesn’t even register for the average person.

  3. Zelensky needs to acquire a copy of the kompromat Russia and Israel have on Trump. That would help considerably.

  4. There are many posts talking about Trump’s removing sanctions on Russian oil, and how that has helped Russia.

    There aren’t enough to point out that, by aiding Russia, the American President is providing aid and comfort to their arch enemy.

    That should be grounds for charging Trump with treason.

    Trump always takes the easy way, what’s best for Donald Trump. Right doesn’t enter into his thinking.

  6. Yeah, true, weakening Russia (or not) is definitely more important than the billions of people affected by raising oil prices, especially poorer countries relying on imports from the middle east. Understandably that everything he says is solely focused on what could be advantageous to Ukraine, but for that reason his statetements have little to no value.

    Canada still has the embargo in place , USA is trumps buddy , Putin needs the USA money to bomb Ukraines women and children as he does .

  8. But then Zelensky offers protection to the U.S. and Israel? Way to throw away global support for your cause. 

  9. Easing sanctions on Russia was either part of the plan or THE plan with this whole operation.

    Weird how Trump’s moves only benefit Russia, China, and Israel. It’s like he doesn’t care about what happens to the US…..

  11. I was in the “Israel forced our hand” camp before but lately sure feels like Iran was intentional to cause oil price boom and this was the logical next step of the plan

    Trump once again showing the world how he supports Russia. Europe needs to stay out of the war with Iran, this is trump’s stupid war.

    Whole thing was to help his buddy Putin at the cost of American and Iranian blood. Oh and also a distraction from the fact he preys upon children.

    Does he still think Trump cares about Ukraine at all? Only place USA cares about is Israel.

    I admire President Zalensky’s self control. He’s a good man to have in a fight.
