Not gonna lie, watching #zelenskyy get slapped in the face by #trump was pretty great.
Ding ding ding! Wake up Zelenskyy! Smell the coffee.
Time to get serious and make a deal.

Why do you all hate the victim of this barbaric war? Do you secretly like barbaric wars? Do you secretly like invasions? Do you secretly like it when entire cities are razed to the ground?
I want that war to end. Zelenskyy has cancelled elections. His government was installed as a puppet for western intel. And he is trying to pull the rest of the world into WWIII because he can't afford to win it himself. He needs to kidnap his own citizens to use them as fodder for the front lines. I have no respect for him. Especially after watching his display at the White House.
He could have had the investment of American companies in Ukrain for mineral rights and production. This would have guaranteed safety from further invasion. But now it's likely that they will loose more because of his arrogant attitude.
The reality is that power is a zero sum game and without knocking over all the global dominos, Zelenskyy just doesn't have the power he seems to think he does.
His pride just lost him that war. It's just a matter of time now.
-> Zelenskyy has cancelled elections.
You are just repeating Russian propaganda!
-> “His government was installed as a puppet for western intel.”
You are just repeating Russian propaganda!
-> “And he is trying to pull the rest of the world into WWIII”
You are just repeating Russian propaganda!
Putin can't stop celebrating because of people like you, congratulations!
I’m not parroting Russian propaganda. My points come from fact:
1. Zelenskyy cancelled elections: Fact. Martial law, extended to May 9, 2025, bans elections under Ukraine’s own law, Article 19, "On the Legal Regime of Martial Law." The 2024 vote didn’t happen.

Russia spins it, sure, but it’s not their invention, it’s what Zelenskyy did.
2. Government as a Western puppet: Not a conspiracy, US influence is real. CIA’s had bases in Ukraine since 2014.
New York Times

and the 2014 Maidan got a US nudge, leaked Victoria Nuland calls prove it.

Zelenskyy’s 2019 win was legit.

but Western sway has always been heavy.
3. Pulling the world into WWIII: My opinion, based on his moves. He’s shoving Ukraine into NATO, check his “victory plan”

Begging for weapons and intervention

Russia says that’s war.
NYT

and his recent White House display, warning that the US would “feel” it, was not a good move.

I see it as risking WWIII, not wanting it. Trump agrees, he called it a gamble.
These aren’t Russian scripts, they’re Zelenskyy’s actions, sourced and clear. Russia might amplify some, but the roots are in reality, not spin.
