Peace is not Zelenskyy’s priority, Tulsi Gabbard says

Sunday, March 02, 2025

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Sunday sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's leadership of his country and said while President Donald Trump is working to end Russia's war, "Zelenskyy has different aims in mind." "President Trump is committed to peace and to freedom," Gabbard told host Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday." "We're seeing this big divergence here between his position, his commitment to these values and the interests of the American people and the interests of President Zelenskyy and these European leaders."

Not that it would make any difference to Trump. He's sucking on Putin's manhood too hard to take notice or care.

And if Zelenskyy apologizes, as ineffectual as it would be, it will only further show what a good, decent, and caring leader he is. Because he would be, once again, putting his people first.

As he often does, the president has been wildly misrepresenting the facts around Ukrainian war aid. He claims that the United States has provided around $350 billion in aid; the actual figure is $120 billion. He has said that Europe has provided about $100 billion; the correct figure is $138 billion. (It is true that some portion of the European aid is in the form of loans.)

As a share of gross domestic product, the U.S. is roughly in the middle of the pack, well below small countries like Estonia and Denmark that are geographically close to Ukraine but roughly in line with larger countries like France and the U.K.

Against that backdrop, it is not clear why Trump believes that the U.S. is entitled to his requested $500 billion of compensation from Ukraine's critical minerals industry, large resources of titanium, lithium, uranium and others. Regardless, the Ukrainians appear likely to agree to something as soon as Friday, when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Washington.

It's also important to note that the European Union and its members have promised an additional $121 billion in assistance while the U.S. has only pledged an additional $5 billion.

Duh 138 billion is less than 120 billion.

Yeah, Pres Trump wants to end the war (and win a Nobel Peace Prize?) by surrendering Ukraine to Pres Putin.

Pres Zelenskyy, on the other hand, wants to end the war by securing the future of Ukraine as a democratic sovereign nation.

idk Perhaps Trump was talking about ALL the funding the US has made available and has been obligated to provide.
$182 + $140 = $320Billion

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Congress has appropriated
or otherwise made available $182.75 billion for OAR and the broader Ukraine response, of
which at least $140.47 billion has been obligated and $83.43 billion has been disbursed as of
the end of the quarter. (See Table 3.

Now you could argue its not DIRECT Military aid, but it is aid to Ukrainian war.

But I'll choose to discuss this one ...

Pres Trump has been lying about how much support the US has given Ukraine.

Fact-checking Trump's claims on amount of US aid to Ukraine
abcnews.go.com

... Trump said the U.S. spent $350 billion toward Ukraine, which is not accurate.

It's not the first time Trump said the U.S. has spent $350 billion toward Ukraine, though he has not cited where he's gotten that figure.

Despite such reports to the contrary, Trump repeated the false claim in the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon. He claimed former President Joe Biden "spent money like nobody's ever seen: $350 billion."

Government resources place the amount of supplemental funding appropriated by Congress since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine at $174 billion -- which includes not only support for Ukraine but also for other countries affected by the conflict, stationing additional NATO troops and more. ...

...
In the canyons of your mind
I will wander through your brain
To the ventricles of your heart, my dear
I'm in love with you again!
'Cross the mountains of your chest
I will stick a Union Jack
To the forest of your cheek
Through the holes in your string vest

[Instrumental]

[Spoken:]
My darling, in my cardboard-coloured dreams
(Ooh, cardboard-coloured dreams)
Once again I hear your laugh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I kiss, yes I kiss your perfumed hair
(But she's not there)
The sweet essence of giraffe
(Of giraffe)
And each time I hear your name
(Frying pan, frying pan)
Oh! My, my, how it hurts
(He's in pain)
In the wardrobe of my soul
(Oh, my soul)
In the section labelled "shirts"
(Aah)
Ah! Oh!
