Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 11, 2025

The war in Ukraine is not "two children fighting in a park." It is a clash with a murderer who came armed onto foreign soil. Russian President Vladimir Putin is no longer a child and fully understands what he is doing, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with ABC News.

... The journalist asked if Zelenskyy believes that US President Donald Trump is putting enough pressure on Putin.

Zelenskyy responded that Trump has made various statements in recent days. [He] added that at one point, Trump had called Putin crazy, but then suddenly claimed the war reminded him of children fighting in a park who just needed to be allowed to throw a few punches.

However, the Ukrainian president explained that such an analogy about children does not fit the war in Ukraine. Ukrainians are not playing with Russians. This is not a story about two children.

"They came to us. That's a fact.

And this is an adult. Putin is definitely not a child. He knows exactly what he's doing. This is more like an adult maniac who walks into a playground where children are sitting, comes in with a gun, and just starts taking people.

He abducted children -- that's a fact.

He kills these children.

He has killed them -- that's a fact.

He left children without parents.

That's what this is like.

And in my opinion, you can't just say, 'Let's pull them apart.'

No one deals with maniacs like that. That's not how real life works. This is a maniac and a child on a playground," the President emphasized. ...

imo, Pres Zelensky has balls made of brass to make such a statement.

Major kudos to him for doing so.

He has a sovereign Country to protect.

If only Pres Trump were so bold.

There was a time in this country when a 'man' like Trump in the WH would be unthinkable.

Some reporter should ask him what his values are.... his empty expression would tell the truth.

@#3 ... Some reporter should ask him what his values are...

Said reporter would likely be banned from the WH, if the past is an indication of the future.
