Why is Trump Still Trying to Scam Ukraine? - Paul Warburg

[TexasTowelie]

The United States' attitude towards peace concerning the war in Ukraine has been confusing, to say the least. From peace talks, to ceasefire talks, to Trump & Zelenskyy's fight, to the pause of U.S. military aid, to it being resumed just a week later. What's going on? Is Donald Trump on Vladimir Putin's side? Or is there something else going on here?

In this video I examine the latest developments in Ukraine's ceasefire talks with Russia - and demonstrate why we shouldn't take Donald Trump at his word.

1. Once Trump's diseased and deluded brain focuses on something he wants, he never lets it go.

Like a timeshare salesman trying to make his quota at the end of the month, the guy's relentless.

2. Of course they are...

Why would anyone think they were anything else? That's all the orange orc is about, scamming people out of everything.

3. The White House adds Ukrainian power plants to its growing wish list

Ukraine’s rare earth metals were apparently just the start: The Trump administration is now eyeing Ukrainian power plants, too.

Since trump is a recidivist criminal, the White House adds Ukrainian power plants to its growing wish list.

But while questions linger about what the White House can get from our war-torn allies, new developments raise concerns about what else Trump and his team might want from Ukraine. The New York Times reported on the president’s latest phone meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

During President Trump’s call with Zelensky, he suggested for what appeared to be the first time that the United States was interested in taking control of Ukraine’s electrical and nuclear power sites. According to a statement from Waltz and Rubio, Trump expressed that ‘the United States could be very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise’ and that ‘American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.’

......Too often with Team Trump, the right hand doesn’t know what the even-further-to-the-right hand is doing. Presumably, they’ll figure out what their position is and get back to us. In the meantime, Zelenskyy also hasn’t indicated whether he’s prepared to turn over his country’s power plants to the U.S.

But while we wait for additional developments to bring things into focus, the list of questions is not short. Is the administration prepared to compensate Ukraine for its power plants? Does Trump intend to deploy U.S. military personnel to Ukraine in order to help protect these sites? Would Russia actually curtail its attacks on the plants? And what would Trump do if it didn’t?
