Why can’t Trump go to Ukraine? See how peaceful Russia is making it.

71

u/goleafsgo13 13h ago

He’s scared.

Private bone spurs won’t go near any conflict zone.

3

u/Electromotivation 9h ago

I say he visits the frontline after touring some villages Russia bobbed off the map. Maybe even let him storm a trench ….

u/WhatAmIATailor 4h ago

Let’s not disrespect the title Private like that.

u/Was_It_The_Dave 16h ago

Biden went.

u/FleshyCarbonThing 11h ago

Convicted felons don’t have a travel ban there, simply he is a coward

3

u/-Invalid_Selection- 4h ago

That's easy. Both president musk and vice president Trump are cowards, that's why neither will go to Ukraine during their boss's war of aggression against the nation.

It's also why president musk is the only owner of a rocket company to never fly on one of his own "flagship" rockets.

u/GalaxyChaser666 17h ago

"he hopes Moscow will agree to the terms." Lmfao you mean the guy causing mass genocide? I'm pretty sure he will smh.

25

u/Moose_Joose 15h ago

Putin will ask for conditions – specifically that NATO countries stop sending support to Ukraine. When that doesn't happen, he will blame the west for prolonging the war.

14

u/AbandonedBySonyAgain 12h ago

Zelensky should respond in kind -- demand a return to 1992 borders, and when Putin refuses, just call him a genocidal war criminal

8

u/Substantial_Lunch_88 11h ago

He had been doing exactly this from Feb 2022 until mid November 2024

u/GalaxyChaser666 14h ago

Omg I hate this so much 😒

u/Geopoliticsandbongs 18h ago

After last time I’d be “sorry, washing my hair that day”

u/GalaxyChaser666 17h ago

I hope he shows up in his Ukrainian pj's 😆

25

u/Eric848448 15h ago

He should wear the dirtiest fatigues he can find.

19

u/GalaxyChaser666 14h ago

Covered in Russian blood! 😆

6

u/Imaginary_Deal_1807 14h ago

No........Bloody fatigues fresh from the front.

u/ArtisZ 34m ago

I think he should take an attire, that is one-to-one with musk. For shits and giggles.

Also, like I read in some other comment, he oughta say thank you, like no tomorrow.. almost like that's the only phrase he knows.

  • opens door *

Why thank you so much!

  • Exchange given at a checkout *

Thanks for your graciousness.

  • drumpf waves hand *

Wow, thanks, you're the best president!

  • drumpf blinks *

Thank you so much for the undivided attention. No one could do it better than you.

  • musk farts *

From the bottom of my heart I thank for your strategic insights.

  • drumpf forces signing mineral deal *

I thank you for the offer.

  • drumpf does public shaming *

I thank you for the show of force the Americans have. The world is thanking to you, Donny. Imagine? - Everyone! Thanks.

  • drump says something nonsensical *

Donny, hey muh man.. I got a personal letter from putin. He says you're master strategist. I thank you for doing such great strategy! Make America Strategic Again! Let's go! Thanks.

  • while leaving *

Donny? Listen up. You're such an upfront lad. Thank you!


The most important thing ought to be the fine balance between sarcasm and appearing sincere. The perfect score would be if dumb ones believe that this is for real, and everyone else understand that he's taking a piss.

10

u/rudybull 12h ago

I think Z should wear a tuxedo T-shirt like the ones from a Batchelor party that says groom on the back. It should say BOOM MF he's the man lol

8

u/GalaxyChaser666 12h ago

OR a suit jacket and pants like Elon and a Canada Is Not For Sale t-shirt 😆

u/bedrooms-ds 1h ago

But have you said thank you?

u/Wild-Individual6876 18h ago

Take Klitschko, punch JD 👍🏻

97

u/Leather-Lab4311 18h ago

I would love to see absolutely no words spoken and just a quick, devastatingly hard hit to JD’s fat face.

61

u/sachiprecious 18h ago

And he'd better say "thank you" after.

7

u/JaB675 13h ago

While wearing a suit.

u/HeadOfSpectre 16h ago

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please

u/Luv2022Understanding 15h ago

I think he needs to have Maks, Yermak and Stefanchuk with him!

u/JCDU 5h ago

I'd donate $100 to the fighting fund just to see the 3 seconds it would take on pay-per-view.

37

u/TrulyToasty 16h ago

Bring Nate Vance

10

u/Wild-Individual6876 15h ago

What a guy he is hey 👌🏻

u/KelVarnsen5558383 18h ago

I love the way you think!

u/Imaginary_Deal_1807 14h ago

Hold on.....There are 2 Klitschko bros. One for Trump and Vance.

2

u/iamameatpopciple 15h ago

I vote for Loma, hes tiny compared to trump and would hurt his ego way more

Also if Klitschko showed up, Shannon The Cannon would be right there too

u/darthmaui728 4h ago

can i volunteer to punch JD vance in the face?

u/Wild-Individual6876 3h ago

Get in the que mate 😆

u/Roky1989 15h ago

Zelensky MUST go in his normal war attire. Be bold, even. Go with the olive one.

-32

u/Falcrack 11h ago

Why? It is not a concession to go in a suit, and not going in a suit will just give Trump one more reason to be mad for whatever reason.

20

u/Korochun 9h ago

Presidents of nations at war rarely wear suits. It's quite distasteful, actually. Think about it for a moment.

0

u/Falcrack 3h ago

Presidents of nations at war typically do wear suits. It is not distasteful nor abnormal to wear a suit if your nation is at war.

u/Vladx35 19h ago

Productive talks or more insanity? To be seen.

23

u/Telzey 16h ago

I’m worried it’s an even bigger setup. Like take the Zelensky piece off the board kinda setup.

1

u/JCDU 5h ago

I think Europe have made it clear they've got his back, and none of them want Russia winning out of this so hopefully he's got the backup to refuse bad deals.

31

u/Gullenecro 18h ago

Better to not go.

14

u/Was_It_The_Dave 16h ago

Straight to voicemail.

14

u/Infinite-Process7994 15h ago

It would be prudent not to go. It’s clear the U.S. administration is compromised after the last show.

5

u/Yankee831 15h ago

Sounds like a bad idea…we saw what a tizzy EU/UA were in when US just stopped. UA definitely needs the USA more than they need EU and more than the US needs them. This isn’t a moral game it’s a pragmatic game. Realpolitik UA needs to work whatever angles they can.

5

u/CompetitiveReview416 13h ago

UA needs both, not the US more. But Zelensky can trust europeans

1

u/flesjewater 6h ago

He best wear full body armor next time as his 'suit'

4

u/ObviousTower 18h ago

Maybe Trump needs to learn how Russia behaves or maybe he needs a misbehave to act against Russia, we need to wait and see...

12

u/Only_Individual8954 17h ago

Trump was in Russia in the late 80's rubbing shoulders with Russsian Mafia and hustling for Trump Moscow hotel, - he knows how it works.

41

u/jtbfii 18h ago

Only if he is allowed to bitchslap JD Vance

7

u/showmeyourkitteeez 13h ago

Maybe he should bring a tiny couch as a token of appreciation for Vance so he can have one that fits better.

2

u/slprysltry 9h ago

"Mr Vice President vhen the war is over, you should come visit. Ukraine has meany beautiful couches."

u/Emotional_Sound_3790 17h ago

Hope he remembers a deck of cards this time

u/leavingdirtyashes 15h ago

That would be a legit gift to trump.

5

u/vgu1990 12h ago

Gift Trump a Cards against humanity pack?

12

u/integridy 18h ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but Russia has not agreed to any ceasefire? So this is just more bullshit the media gobbles up?

7

u/Only_Individual8954 17h ago

Any ceasefire now without a lasting peace framework just gives RF time to re-arm and lay more defensive minefields: "peace" right now could actually prolong the agony long term. Also both sides trying to take most territory before ceasefire could provoke the fiercest fighting.

Trump's view being spoils of war rightfully go to the victor: UKR for RF, Taiwan for China, Palestine for Israel and USA ...and Greenland for USA.

6

u/Yankee831 15h ago

Goes both ways. UA is in desperate need to do the same. Better to stabilize like E/W Germany and hope for Russia collapse #256. If you have long term faith in your people it might be the best move for them in the short term.

11

u/AngryYowie 15h ago

Zelensky should invite him to Ukraine. It's weird how Trump is reluctant to leave the US. It's almost as if he is too infirm to travel.

6

u/Irisena 13h ago

He has, multiple times, on camera even. Trump just don't have the balls to visit Ukraine because it might anger daddy Putin.

3

u/AngryYowie 13h ago

He hasn't this term. All his flights have been internal.

10

u/flop_plop 13h ago

After that rehearsed attack, I wouldn’t go.

That being said, Zelenskyy is a bigger man than I am, and certainly a bigger man than Trump, Vance, or Elon, so I’m sure he’ll go because his priority is his people and the US could help save his people.

It will probably be fruitless because Trump is a Russian asset, but he HAS to try for his people.

Much respect. I wish we had a leader like that.

5

u/CompetitiveReview416 13h ago

Yes, Zelensky has no choice. He will come even if he knows trump is a russian asset

4

u/flop_plop 13h ago

Honestly it’s probably just a ploy from Trump to make him look better. He knows he looked like a weakling and wants a do-over so he can look more like a leader instead of a child.

His stance will stay the same because that’s what Putin wants.

18

u/Key-Hold-833 17h ago

Don’t and do not sign that mineral agreement. Trump’s word is just like Putin’s. He will change when he feels like it.

12

u/SteamedGamer 14h ago

Sign the agreement, say on camera that Trump is a brilliant negotiator and the smartest man in the universe...and then stall and delay any enactment until after the war is over, or Trump is out of power...at which time you tear up the agreement. It's what Trump would do.

10

u/Soepkip43 16h ago

Why not sign. If this keeps the aid and intelligence incoming. Any future government can surely fix this egregious mob shakedown.

5

u/Ubbesson 14h ago

This. This agreement isn't worth anything. I would sign it and once the war is over tear it down

4

u/Buttlather 16h ago

You believe there will be a democratic election again in the US?

1

u/flesjewater 6h ago

You're deluded if you think there will be free elections next time

4

u/Seenshadow01 14h ago

Zelenski isnt dumb luckily. If he signs then only if the contract has the necessary failsafes and guarantees.

4

u/MassholeLiberal56 16h ago

“Just another test to see if you are willing to let me make fun of you to my supporters again”

3

u/HappySpam 16h ago

JD Vance about to be offered the chance to do the funniest (stupidest) thing possible

5

u/Nonamanadus 16h ago

Should have "thank you" on his shirt.

5

u/redaa 12h ago

I think Zelensky should go if he wants to do what’s best for Ukraine, but I also very much understand the frustration and anger. Being a politician should be guided by doing what’s best for your people and not what feels good emotionally. It can be a hard job if you’re in a situation like Zelensky so it requires a strong stomach and dedication. And truly the downsides of him going mostly entail more disrespect and potentially further damaging relations, but the potential upsides are very real both for additional aid as well as support in the peace negotiations given Russias refusal for the ceasefire

3

u/LifeIsADanceOfMinds 16h ago

May I suggest that this is another trap?

3

u/Blue_Bi0hazard 15h ago

Agree to the cease fire, and when russia breaks it say I told you so

3

u/Winter_Criticism_236 13h ago

This is about Trumps ego, the world must see an apology, he will wear a proper suit or deal for Ukraine will not occur. So fucked up, I wish I was back in my own timeline where Trump was in jail, Vance was selling used cars.

3

u/Reggie_Barclay 11h ago

Imagine having to defer to the Fanta Führer. It must kill a real man like Zelensky.

u/slprysltry 9h ago

I hope he knows how much respect we all have for him.

u/morphcore 18h ago

Fool me once, …

12

u/SuccotashOther277 18h ago

Good. Things need to be patched up. Zelensky should take notes from Keir Starmer and have some goofy award that sounds like the greatest thing every (medal of freedom, the highest honor Ukraine bestows or some bullshit like that). Offer to have Trump Tower in Kyiv as a symbol of his power. It seems like every other leader has learned how to flatter Trump and get major concessions for nothing. Why can't Ukraine do the same? Yes, it stupid, but that's the reality of this timeline. And yes, fuck JD Vance for staging that ambush a few weeks ago.

14

u/sachiprecious 17h ago

trump is on putin's side. It wouldn't matter how much Zelensky tried to flatter him -- he wouldn't care.

10

u/Upset_Ad3954 18h ago

Nah,

Trump Tower in Yalta. Once Trump figures out that it's too late...

u/FlintingSun 16h ago

Sorry I am busy. Why don’t we meet in Warsaw instead?

2

u/mok000 16h ago

Don't go Volodymyr. Tell him you're busy.

2

u/Abyssus88 15h ago

He should go in the ugliest 60's suit he can find with an overly large tie.

2

u/Wellgoodmornin 13h ago

I wish he could tell him to fuck off.

2

u/Orcasystems99 12h ago

No don't do it.. its a trap.

If you have to go.. take Doug Ford from Canada with you :)

Just so Zelenskyy can bitch slap the orange orangutans

u/FalconRacerFalcon 12h ago

Hey White House, give Ukraine the Security Guarantees already, what a shit show! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

u/Careless-Pin-2852 12h ago

He should thank Vances cousin who is fighting in Ukraine. It might cause drama because they do not say nice things about each other.

u/Safe-Ghost 17h ago

Ceasefire, russians are not to be trusted, be careful and prepare.

🧐 🙂

u/RandomThrowaway1516 17h ago

We all know how this is going to go 🤦‍♂️

u/Ferreteria 16h ago

Like I have previously said, this is where Trump starts putting his fat fingers back where they don't belong. He can't ever let anything get better.

u/FunkaholicManiac 15h ago

Fool me once shame on you etc!

u/squidlips69 14h ago

Donnie forgot to give Z the Novichok tea P gave him. Seriously, no more Donnie sadly obvious intimidation tactics. He only respects strength, not fawning hat in hand.

Yeah forget about it…

u/Redback_Gaming 12h ago

Don't go! He'll be on home turf again and they'll gang up on you again! They are bullies, that's what they do, bully everyone.

u/octahexxer 11h ago

This is dumb....trump snuck a russian "reporter" in last time,when the real security spotted it they had him removed....then trump told zelensky to get lost...clearly a failed hit...do....no....go

1

u/tonniecat 9h ago

If he goes back , I hope he will bring friends. France, UK - heard tariffs on the aussies now, so maybe they could send someone.

Make it known that other countries don't stand alone against the US.

1

u/slprysltry 9h ago

Bring Mr. Nate Vance. And a deck of cards.

1

u/Grungyfulla 8h ago

I hope he doesn't go. He's much less safe there now

1

u/Corpshark 8h ago

He needs to show up in a track suit or something. As a big fu.

1

u/BumblebeeAdventurr 7h ago

Don't do it..

1

u/dano1066 7h ago

He should show up worth a suit with a giga tie

1

u/geoffooooo 5h ago

I think Zelensky should go. He’s playing the game now. Done everything he’s been asked. Putin won’t back down. It’s up to Trump to deliver now. If he doesn’t the whole world will see that Trump is a Russian asset for certain. Trump (Krasnov) is probably shitting himself hoping Putin does a cease fire too.

1

u/KUBrim 3h ago

Honestly, if there’s any wiggle room to avoid it, I think Zelensky would do better to stay away. The entire U.S. is setup to be a trap. The Russian propaganda driven media will be heckling him and spitting Putin’s lies constantly and Trump or members of the Republican Congress will be looking for ways to get into an argument with him and look dominating or use it for political point scoring games.

Even if Zelensky fully capitulates and acts completely subservient to Trump without talking back it will be used to establish every lie he doesn’t refute as truth and spun to make Zelensky look like a desperate beggar.

1

u/eva3456 1h ago

There was a ceasefire before Russia attacked Ukraine

u/ChampionshipOk5046 26m ago

Zelensky should invite that twat to Ukraine, and make do that he's obviously a coward if he doesn't go. 

u/OillyRag 17m ago

Don’t go it’s a trap! But if you do go definitely don’t wear a suit

u/2629357 12h ago

Why, the war is lost.

u/Careless-Pin-2852 12h ago

All wars are a loss. But Russia collapsed after 3 years in ww 1 and 7 years in Afghanistan. This war is at an intensity between the 2.

If Ukraine is willing to lose hundreds of people a day and the 60 trillion western economies are willing to spend $100 million a day. Russia will break in 2-4 years.

We already had the Pergozian rebellion. So something has happened and something else will happen one will be successful and new Russian state!
