Zelenskyy Discusses Breakdown of White House Discussions - Nothing is Acceptable Unless USA Troops are Put Into Ukraine - The Last Refuge
2025-03-02
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] Zelenskyy appears for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss the collapse of discussions today at the White House.

Again and again, Zelenskyy outlines his view of ''security guarantees'' which includes the baseline component of USA troops on the ground. Zelenskyy will not accept any negotiations or ceasefire arrangement without U.S. troops in Ukraine.

This same ''security guarantee'' demand (U.S. Troops in Ukraine) applies also to the minerals guarantee.

#3  Trump isn't the first US commander in chief to lose patience with Zelenskyy: resurfaced 2022 report


I'm surprised that the President didn't cut it off right then and there

And walk out, like he did with Nkor.

#2  Yeah and before meeting with Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering.

Link here.

I'm sure that they also advised him as to how to deal with Trump by being aggressive, knowing that it would create the desired response from the President so that they could then use that response to proclaim 'Orange Man Bad'.

Trump could absolutely tell where this was going downhill by 25 minutes into the video. He had an inkling when Zelensky started bringing out photos.

I'm surprised that the President didn't cut it off right then and there as Zelensky was trying to change the narrative away from the previously agreed to Minerals Deal. I would have had I been running the meeting, but I'm not a politician (nor do I ever hope to be one).

#1  Hey Zel, your grift is over. I don't think sending US troops is advisable. I would bring all of them home.
