Russia is making demands, but Trump is making moves—and that’s what matters. Washington and Moscow are in talks to end the war in Ukraine, and President Trump is doing what no other world leader has been able to do: bring an end to the bloodshed and cut off the endless U.S. spending that has drained taxpayers for three years straight.
Ukraine has no seat at the table—and that’s not Trump’s problem. His priority is America First, not Zelensky’s wishlist. For too long, the U.S. has been writing blank checks to Ukraine, funding a war that has nothing to do with American interests. Hundreds of billions of dollars have already vanished into the abyss, with no transparency, no oversight, and no accountability. That ends now.
Russia wants a deal, and Trump is making them sweat. Putin has demanded control of four regions—Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia—but he also wants cities he doesn’t even occupy, including Kherson City (275,000 people), Kramatorsk (147,000), and Zaporizhzhia City (706,000). Typical negotiating tactic—ask for everything, knowing you won’t get it all.
Meanwhile, the globalists are in full meltdown mode. The D.C. think tank elite is clutching their pearls, claiming that Trump is giving Putin exactly what he wants—as if they haven’t already been spectacularly wrong about this war from the beginning. They told us Ukraine was winning, yet Zelensky is now begging for more weapons and money than ever before. They claimed Russia was on its last leg, yet Moscow is dictating the terms of a peace deal. Maybe it’s time they sit this one out and let Trump handle it.
Trump has made it clear: both sides need to make concessions. That’s how negotiations work. Zelensky can cry all he wants about not wanting to cede territory, but the reality is Ukraine cannot win this war—at least not without another decade of American money and weapons. And guess what? The American people are done footing the bill. Trump was elected to put an end to this madness, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.
And let’s be real—Ukraine’s NATO ambitions were always a fantasy. The idea of letting a corrupt, war-torn, money pit of a country into the most powerful military alliance on Earth? Never going to happen. Not under Trump, not under anyone with an ounce of common sense. Putin knows it. Trump knows it. The only people pretending otherwise are the same warmongers who dragged us into this mess to begin with.
Trump isn’t “abandoning” Ukraine—he’s saving America. If Zelensky wants to keep fighting, he can ask Europe to foot the bill for once. The U.S. has already spent more on Ukraine than the entire EU combined. Enough is enough. Trump’s job is to protect America, cut waste, and bring peace—not bankroll endless wars.
