Could certainly ask Putin the same question. The number of dead Russians outnumbers the Ukrainians. Putin doesn't care but at least Zelensky does. Or at least he appears to.

The point is that Putin holds the power. He doesn't actually care about his citizens and he is fine with the killing continuing. Obviously, Z is fine with it also, despite what all the Uke Bros claim.

Ukraine holds no cards. Their only power comes from other nations.

If Zelensky cares so much, he could've agreed to the same terms Russia is offering now back in February and a lot more Ukranians wouldn't have died.

Russia has not changed its demands, nor should they. They won, they get to dictate what Zelensky is going to swallow, or else they will continue to slowly take more until Zelensky says uncle. Which looks like is happening.

That is one of the most mind-blowingly ******ed questions ever.

YOU CAN. NOT. BLAME. THE. DEFENDER. FOR. NOT. SURRENDERING.

What is wrong with so many people that this isn't intellectually insulting?

I thought it was a good question. I want to know where Z's head is at. Making him answer a question that is so black and white allows Z to provide an answer that falls closer to one end of that spectrum (giving land) or the other (sending kids to their death). I was fine with Z's reply.

So we are making progress then?

This is going to be tough to spin as a negative for some ... but they'll find a way!

Listening to the two times I heard Trump and gang speak today, it was very positive. The world leaders were very complimentary of Trump and the progress that was made.

People need to wish for the best.

For some, I honestly think they would just prefer that Trump fail ...

Liberals and the media don't want this war to end because it means Trump is likely up for a Nobel Peace Prize, and they would go ballistic. The propaganda media outlets have fed these lunatics lies that Trump is this evil dictator & that goes completely against their narrative.

Russian oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia halted after Ukrainian attack

BUDAPEST, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Russian crude oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline were halted on Monday, officials in Hungary and Slovakia said, with Budapest blaming a Ukrainian attack on a part of the network.

Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, a key conduit for generating money for Kremlin's war efforts, with oil and gas sales accounting for a quarter of Russia's state total budget proceeds

Orban has been a huge Ukraine opponent since the beginning and has done nothing to curb their import of Russian O&G. It's not even not a huge loss, is not even a loss at all.

The Ukranian 'allies' should not be buying Russian oil. FAFO.

So if you were president of a country that was attacked, you are the type who would fold quickly like an empty suit? I SURRENDER!

Agreed. People can criticize Trump for a lot of things but he seems to really hate war.

Pray for peace.

Yup.

I was laughing my ass off with him when he was getting in on the joke with Zelinski earlier today. I literally thought, "if people paid attention to all of it rather than just a stupid sound bite here or there, they would get how likable he really is."

Sounds like it went well and will progress to a trilateral talk.

It's another step…very tenuous, but it appears that things are still leaning in the right direction…

Now, we all know the drill:

People who hate Trump will declare today an utter failure…

People on the complete opposite end of the spectrum will break out more champagne bottles…

The reality? We are closer to peace in Ukraine today than we were yesterday…so it's another positive step…

Z cancels his exclusive with Bret Baier…Z leaving immediately to get back to Ukraine to discuss today's events…

I honestly think this is a good move by Z…he gets himself in more trouble the more he runs his mouth publicly doing interviews…think he may be serious about peace and doing the work while being less concerned about winning a popularity contest…

Stay off camera and go to work…I like it…

So Zelensky promised to buy $100 billion of US weapons and sell the US $50 billion worth of drones.

Putin is really slipping if he didn't show up in Alaska with a business proposition
