Despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s insistence Sunday morning that “we will give nothing” to Russia, President Donald Trump pushed back, arguing that conflicts aren’t typically resolved without territory or concessions changing hands.
“Well, he’s going to take something,” Trump said Sunday morning in a televised interview recorded earlier this week after the Zelenskyy meeting at the White House.
“I mean, they fought and he has a lot of property. I mean, yeah, he’s won certain – you say that, he’s won – certain property.”
Trump argued that the United States has a habit of entering wars without securing long-term benefits, and he criticized that approach.
“We’re the only nation that goes in and wins a war and leaves, you know?” Trump said. “Like we did under President [George W.] Bush in the Middle East.
“We go in, we blast the hell out of everybody, destroy the place and then we leave, you know?”
He also invoked his past calls about Syria’s energy resources, saying that when the U.S. stepped into conflicts it often failed to hold strategic assets.
“Remember, I used to say keep the oil?” Trump continued. “I said two things. I said, don’t go in. But then they went in.
“And I said, well, don’t go in, but if you’re going to go in, keep the oil.
“We didn’t keep the oil. What do we do? We blast it to pieces and then we leave, you know? Doesn’t make sense, never made sense.”

Anyone who is following the war closely is aware that Ukraine’s no concessions stance makes more sense now than ever before..
Russia is in turmoil. Their infrastructure is being devastated daily by the Ukrainians.
Their logistics are in shambles, and they’re incapable of sustaining an offensive.
It seems clear that at the moment, Ukraine has the upper hand and is in the mid-stage phase of shaping operations for a massive counter-offensive that will enable them to retake most of the territory that they’ve lost as well as to take a significant chunk of Russian territory, which can either be used to create a buffer or to trade for the remainder of Ukrainian territory that was lost.
You’re following Fake News. The 3.5-year-“war” is in the Ukrainian tunnels cleaning out their abominations and atrocities they’ve been committing for decades down there. It’s the Ukrainians themselves destroying their own cities and accusing Russia for the sleeping world.
