Zelenskyy Pulls a George Costanza, Claims He Was Just Kidding When He Quit the Peace Talks
The headline is a reference to this Seinfeld episode.
What? That? I'm a joker, you know that. I kid!Zelensky reaches out to Trump after "regrettable" meetingHere's the statement this stupid actor posted on X:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has extended an olive branch to President Donald Trump following what he called a "regrettable" meeting in Washington. Zelensky thanked Trump for past U.S. support and reiterated Ukraine's willingness to sign a mineral agreement "any time and in any convenient format." His remarks come as the U.S. has paused military aid to Ukraine, and Trump has signaled a preference for peace negotiations. Key Details: Zelensky acknowledged that the Friday meeting at the White House did not go as planned and expressed a desire for "constructive" future cooperation. He highlighted Trump's past support for Ukraine, particularly his decision to provide Javelin missiles, as a pivotal moment. The U.S. paused all military aid to Ukraine on Monday, with Trump telling Zelensky to return "when he was ready for peace."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир ЗеленськийLOL. Please.
@ZelenskyyUa I would like to reiterate Ukraine's commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
Sure, sure, sure. Now you're grateful. Two days ago you were sanctimonious and entitled and petulant, but now you're truly grateful.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky -- ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure -- and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Zelenskyy needs the US. We don't need him. He's a side-show and an irritant. And yet he acts like he's doing us a favor in taking billions from us (and squirreling away millions for himself and his cronies). Same with Europe. Emily Jashinsky put out a video noting that America was tired of Zelenskyy's and Europe's never-ending moral blackmail. Certainly. And I'd add that every US citizens has faced never-ending moral blackmail from the unreasonable left for more than ten years -- going back to 2007, when it was demanded of us that we praise an unaccomplished "community organizer" communist as New Black Jesus. We are tired of the moral blackmail, and it no longer works. It now provokes us and angers us.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
Hans MahnckeSlava America, bitch. Europe is pretending that maybe they'll send their tiny armies to stand down Russia. Via David Strom, Italy's Giorgia Miloni says "Not with Italian troops you won't."
@HansMahncke The endless theories about Zelensky's meltdown--Trump set him up, communication issues, Slavic mentality--are exhausting. There’s exactly one reason this happened: Zelensky himself. He's a petulant, arrogant, entitled fraud who lacks even a shred of statesmanship. He got away with his act for far too long because Western elites indulged him. That ended yesterday. The world saw the real Zelensky, not the manufactured caricature. No further analysis is needed. One man's character flaws caused this. That's it.

He had his chance, he used it to work with the Deep State to try to ratfuck Trump. Then he ran off to try to get the Europeans to replace the US as prime benefactor, and the Euros said "not happening. But we'll gladly take your rare earth minerals and maybe the French will send a detachment to protect that in Ukraine. Maybe. You know how the French are though."
And now that that gambit didn't work, he's back to try a do-over? Fuck off.
He's clearly not negotiating in good faith.

Also I'd be interested in seeing how many people still believe a word he (or the Europeans) say, or what percentage of Americans care.

Larry David angrily quit Saturday Night Live -- he was a writer who couldn't get any of his skits on the air -- and told off Lorne Michaels in front of the whole cast and crew.
He then realized that he had no other work lined up and needed the paycheck and did it really matter if they didn't like his sketches if he was still getting a big paycheck?
So he went in on the following Monday and pretended he was just kidding around when he quit.

The real problem is the weapons.
We don't even have enough domestic ability to manufacture to make our own weapons. We are importing all kinds of shit from China for that purpose. And we were exhausting things like artillery shells very quickly at the height of our military industrial complex spending orgy in Ukraine and Israel.
Europe has even less domestic weapons manufacturing ability.
Russia is the only country that retained it's domestic weapons manufacturing ability from the cold war era. But unfortunately, I doubt they'll be willing to sell weapons to Ukraine.
So really, we're the only game in town. Or, I guess, China. But I suspect China is sitting this one out.
But I'm sure Z knows all of this. The Deep State told him to ignore Trump, they'll continue to send him whatever weapons he needs. Not sure if the Deep State can really follow through on that promise in a big way, but we'll see.

The Europeans haven't been just shoveling cash in to Ukraine like we have. They've been giving them secured loans, as Trump pointed out in that pressure.
Secured by natural resources and gas pipelines.
We've just been "making it rain" like an NFL draftee at a strip club, throwing unimaginable amounts of cash all over the place (and, of course, skimming, scamming, grifting and grafting. But presumably a bunch of that money ended up in Ukraine to be used for their own skimming scamming grifting and grafting.)

This isn't about him "caving". This is about a head of state acting like it and engaging in diplomacy. Framing this as Minister Zelenskyy "caving to Trump" is needlessly inflammatory.
he didn't cave! He's still taking about security guarantees. He's been attacked as not being interested in peace, so he has to say he wants peace, he has to look cooperative, he has to say he's willing to negotiate.
I read this more as a reset. "Hey, you flipped out because you think I didn't say thank you? Fine, here's a thank you. Can we have a constructive discussion now?"
Poor choice (IMHO). Set an agreement with the whole of the EU and make them your partners, not this Russian tool play acting as a President.
Smart move. Trump is trying to destroy Zelensky and an independent Ukraine at the direction of Putin. His X message puts his European partners in a less adversarial position so they will have more political cover at home to support him. It wouldn’t surprise me if he wrote it at their request.

slight correction: USAID is not dead, and in fact, looks like the R's are poised to continue funding it in the next continuing resolution to avoid a government shut down.
Also, USAID is far from the only slush fund in DC. Just the tip of the iceberg. I suspect most of that money that was being spent has already been shifted to other budgets.

But one of the things they made him do was to help them fuck Trump back before the war started. And it didn't work. Now he's back, and Zelensky's fate is in the hands of a man who he's given ample reason to personally despise him. He's in such deep shit, it's almost unbelievable.
Meanwhile, all the actual shot callers who set Trump up are kicking up their heels in some Beltway manse, clinking glasses, and frolicking among their catamites.

International diplomacy is extremely, some would say rabidly, ritualistic. Diplomats have set templates for speaking to each other, they go back to their rooms and pore over the statements from the other side looking for minor nuances, then go at it again. I think it's to prevent their bosses from looking like morons.

And it's not a simple "people aren't as active." No, they're not, but as a 29 year old, people were lazy back in the 70s and 80s, too. It's "not as active" plus something else(s), and it will likely be earth-shattering when the nation is allowed to acknowledge what it is.

I think it was initiated when he did a stop over in Ireland on the way to the US. I'll bet that there were a nice collection of EU and UK diplomats on hand to hand him his strategy with President Trump. I believe that approach was hatched the week before at the emergency summit the EU called.
Here's the thing. Prime Minister Meloni attended that event (showed up rather late)....and was the only participant not to run to the media for face time afterwards. In fact, she left without speaking to the press and appeared agitated. I'll bet a chocolate donut that she called Trump, tipped him off, and that's why Trump brought in Vance to participate on live TV.

All you need to know about discovery is that it's all self-selected and provided. If a plaintiff wants discovery from a defendant, it's the defendant -- and only the defendant -- who searches its files, retrieves relevant docs, and provides them.
The defendant chooses what docs to produce. You'll be shocked to learn there is cheating and illegally withholding when it comes to finding and providing unhelpful documents.

I recall that in antitrust cases, the winner also gets its legal fees paid by the loser. So NFL probably had to pay millions in legal fees to USFL. Still a pittance compared to what was at stake, and the obvious fact that the NFL engaged in antitrust violations. Hell, all of pro sports is one big antitrust violation.

Oh, i did. Brit numbskulls tried to make something out of nothing. First - The words in question were "fought A war" not "fought in a war". Big difference. Our allies sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, but the US supplied the logistics, transport, most of the in-theater medical support, intelligence collection, base-road-airfield construction, air traffic control, etc., etc. THAT is all part of "fighting A war". And none of the European countries have come close to a total theater deployment of military forces since the Falkland War (and the UK depended heavily on surreptitious US support for that, too).
Second - JD Vance served as a US Marine combat journalist in Iraq for several months. He knows exactly how much our allies contributed to the war effort, which is a helluva lot more than the buffoons in the UK who fomented and encouraged the BS outrage over JD's excellent exposition of US-Ukraine policy.

President Trump plans to go forward with 25% tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican goods. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he would shut off power to 1.5 million homes and businesses in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota, and restrict the export of other goods in response.

I unwittingly ran across a video of such a thing last night of Uke "recruiters" conscripting a man off of a city street who was begging and screaming for help saying that he had a child at home alone with no wife as they beat him and threw him in a van. People on the street too scared to try and intervene.

I suspect that if Ukraine had trillions of dollars in minerals, they would have been exploiting that prior to the Russian invasion. And would have continued exploiting it throughout the war, and would be a very wealthy country.
Since none of those things seem to be true, I suspect there are no (or very few) minerals.

Russia has far more prisoners, many of whom do not wish to come back. Plus Ukr is short of troops
and truce in the sky -- ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure
** The US is no longer allowing targeting to Russia using US resources. Russia is unchallenged in the air **
-- and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.
** Ukraine has no navy, aside from jetskis strapped with bombs. It has been a while since they used those up
**

Oh, I’m sure Ukraine has trillions in minerals. The problem is, it’s not economical to extract them. That’s not because of the war as much as the fact that a lot of minerals are not worth pulling up at today’s prices. There are plenty elsewhere. These “trillions of dollars in minerals” things never take into account actual market conditions.
And even if some end up being extracted, it will take decades for payoff. It’s not like a trillion dollars is going to be pulled out of the ground in five years. It will be over the period of a century.

It's a combination of our own EPA shutting down power generation, Canada having a lot of hydro generation ("green energy") that will help utilities hit certain goals, and the fact that the grids of the two countries are a combination of a bunch of smaller grids and ended up interconnected cross-border in a lot of places because it hardly made sense to duplicate the power generation needed for border areas by having both countries generate power.
Anyways, it's reversible. And we should reverse it. ANd like I said in a previous thread, it's about time Canada got their own country code and got off of our phone exchange. No more +1 for Canada! They can be +310 or whatever is available.

I assume 1) he's under contract to provide those things with terms related to breach and 2) the US would consider cutting off power and causing death as even more serious than whatever the terms of breach are in the contract.

An air defense system fires two missiles at least at any target. Just sending so 500 missiles from Russia, 5000 anti missiles means these antimissiles can last a week.
Note nobody is telling us how many launcher systems and radars they have . If those get taken out 5000 antimissiles can't do any good at all. And those require western operators so look for 'helicopter crashes in training' to pick up.

Our problem is not the transmission of the electricity (well, that is a problem too, but unrelated to this). It's the generation of electricity.
The EPA has been shutting down coal plants all over the country since Obama's term, and the Northeast in particular is being fucked by NY's "no new pipeline" position, so there is not enough natural gas flowing to new england to power additional plants, even if they could build more, which is also hard and expensive due to all of the regulations. And also, does not meet the green energy goals set out by the govt.
So it was decided to just import "green" (hydro) energy from Canada.
Which -- whatever. It is what it is. But that's why we are here.

Making artillery shells is boring old tech.

The Dem military makes trannies and jihadis, so I guess that is worse
But one of the lessons of the Uke war is that you also need to consider the monetary costs in any longer military conflict and cheap artillery shells are "sustainable" until multimillion dollar missile systems...

This will only intensify as China has placed end user export bans on certain minerals ( tungsten, tellurium, bismuth, indium, and molybdenum) in addition to the previously placed restriction on gallium, germanium and antimony.
Many of these minerals are essential in weapons production and China is the world's largest producer of nearly all of them, in some instances producing over 90% of global production.

Right. Our military industrial complex, whose entire existence is based on the idea that we need to be ready to go to war at any time and thus need to keep the weapons factories churning out weapons, off-shored much of the manufacturing of the basic materials needed for things like artillery shells to factories in China.
Russia retained all or most of their weapons manufacturing abilities from the USSR era.
Much easier for Russia to ramp back up production than it is for us, when we can't produce sufficient quantities of gun powder or explosives or propellant or even the casings without buying a lot of shit from China.
It's a national security nightmare, frankly.

Well he's gone either way. He is ousted from the party by election #1 and his party will lose in election #2. Similar to Z, his first act will be to resign, or order elections which will replace him.

Much easier for Russia to ramp back up production than it is for us, when we can't produce sufficient quantities of gun powder or explosives or propellant or even the casings without buying a lot of shit from China.
It's a national security nightmare, frankly.

I suspect there is not as much active fighting going on as we may imagine.
I think Russia has the territory they want and have been incorporating it back in to Russia and the front lines have basically been unchanged for several years.
But as you say, we really have no idea. Which is a bit odd in 2025 with ubiquitous smart phones, no?

Early in the war there was a claim from a Uke woman that a Russian patrol showed up at her house and sexually assaulted her.
I remember you could find maps of the front lines at the time and so I checked and she was 10 miles away from the front lines with one road leading from the Russian held territory to her. So then the story I guess is a Russian patrol went deep into Uke held territory driving right down an open road, found an occupied house and...spent hours literally dicking around in enemy territory?
I assumed that was just some propaganda (and later one of the Uke ministers got fired for being too obvious with this stuff) but imagine if it wasn't? What kind of f*cking war does that NOT get you killed as the Russian patrol?

It was dicey at the start when oversight by drones and satellites was first kicking in. Any long stroll in the open could be hit by accurate arty or drones could fly into your trench bunker after you and take your squad out.
But now, the air force for Russia can launch fuel air bombs if you try and hold an urban area and incinerate the men. City is pretty rough after that, but that's what rebuilding is for. They were rebuilding Mariopol back the first summer of the war. They aren't pulling out.

Well the front line maps aren't accurate either. Many don't report updates frequently or at all. It could have been a UKR patrol, or a foreign volunteer.
But yeah, in the Donbass wide sneaking is less useful since there are IR and night vision and now IR drones. The current tactic is to rush down the road a KM or too, dig in on the roadside. Then if no UKR come close they extend out from the roadside each direction and move the point out some too. So it goes from a pin, to a finger, to a bulge. Some miles away they do another and between them the entrenchment, or town, is nearly surrounded from the start.

The combined NATO militaries have more soldiers/sailor/airmen/marines than the US.
Same if you count reserves for NATO and US.
And it's not a tiny margin.
Maybe, but wars are won in the will. NATO/EU pussies don't have the intestinal fortitude to use those native-born numbers on the battlefield, which is why you have a French Foreign Legion to do froggy dirty work, or why the Royal Navy let a bunch of Iranian towelheads in speedboats briefly take hostages from them around 2007 without firing a shot in response.

One form is to protect your own developing industry usually war related so you aren't dependent. Alternatively you subsidize the local industry. Both have disadvantages. The blanket or reciprocal ones are more to cudgel the foreign country to try and find other stuff to buy from you to balance out nasty fund transfers.
So if we buy power and maple syrup and they tariff our dairy 300 percent, they could drop dairy and buy US cars and lower their tarriff so ours can get a market there. Or they could just import something new from us to add to their economy as a new thing. Like an army or something.

Simple proposition to think on... if your REAL (not government) economy is growing less, then your trade deficit, then you are as an economy getting weaker.
If your GDP is growing LESS than the combined trade deficit added to your non government Inflation... then you are in a recession, and if it continues (as it has for decades now) a depression.
Note, I keep adding in NON GOVERNMENT ... when Government control over 40% of GDP (Local, State, Fed)... because the government produces nothing but order... you can't really use that money to count for growth.

Russia has already formally incorporated the "4 Regions" into Russia. Donbass, and the south bank of Dnepr and the area between Kherson and Crimea. US has pretty much accepted that and Crimea as Russian.
I expect Kharkov and Odessa to be ceded as well or in some free state status dependent on Russia. Kiev area? Not sure, they have historical clams but it currently is full up with Ukraine government types. They want a buffer zone bigger than artillery range. These are't formal.
Putin has also floated letting ethnic areas in far west ukraine go to NATO neighbors like Poland, Hungary, Romania.
