Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have launched scathing critiques of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of prioritizing publicity over his people’s suffering and mismanaging U.S. aid as the Russia-Ukraine war drags on. The high-profile attacks come amid growing frustration in conservative circles over America’s continued financial support for a conflict many believe Ukraine cannot win.
Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, took to X this week to lambast Zelensky for a 2022 Vogue photoshoot featuring the Ukrainian leader and his wife, Olena Zelenska. The photoshoot, titled “Portrait of Bravery,” was intended to highlight Ukraine’s resilience but has drawn sharp criticism for its timing. “He did this while kids are dying in trenches on the war front,” Musk wrote, echoing sentiments from Republican lawmakers who have questioned the optics of the shoot while billions in U.S. aid flow into Ukraine. He also ignited a firestorm of controversy by accusing Zelensky of being responsible for the death of American journalist Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison after being critical of Zelensky’s regime.
Trump, meanwhile, has escalated his rhetoric against Zelensky,
calling him a “dictator without elections” and accusing him of
prolonging the war to secure more American funding. “Zelensky talked the
United States of America into spending $350 billion dollars to go into a
war that couldn’t be won,” Trump said during a recent public
appearance.
It is not only internationally that pressure on Zelensky to end the war is growing but at home. Independent sources in Ukraine suggest that Zelensky’s approval rating is far lower than reported, claiming it stands at just 4%.
Those who reject Donald Trump’s approach to Ukraine, and demand the western powers keep pouring aid into Kiev's ever open pockets should ask themselves: if we give Ukraine all it demands what is the plan? More fighting? More death? Nuclear war. Perhaps another summit at which Western leaders can pledge their support for a cause they cannot aggord to pay for.
Since Trump's second inauguration there has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth about the death of the so-called “rules based order”. This so called rules-based-order did not stop Hamas attackinh Israeli civilians and taking hostages or Netanyahu killing Gazans (and it's a near certainty that Netanyahu is at even less less risk of seeing the inside of The Hague International Court of Jisticethan Putin does).
More importantly in the context, it did not stop Russia invading Ukraine three years ago, and it is notable the invasion did not occur under Trump though Russia and Ukraine were at loggerheads throughout his first presidency and which, he claims, he deterred by threatening to “hit” Moscow. In short, everything Trump is trying to fix, from Chinese aggression to drug trafficking, began under the very rules-based order now being lamente by the very globalists who did most to wreck it..
As for Ukraine, the war is going badly, and the longer it continues, the more land Ukraine is likely to lose. Last year, Stephen Kotkin, an eminent historian of Russia, gave an interview in which he observed that to achieve stated Ukrainian war goals – the total recovery of lost territory, Putin on trial – “you have to take Moscow”. And that is just not going to happen, Trump is a realist and knows that.
I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this but the Maverick US President is normally right. It just isn't always immediately apparent. Once again however, Trump is right about ending the war - other western leaders are just not willing to admit it. Ukraine should and would never be allowed to join NATO. Russia wouldn't allow it and nor should they. The USA wouldn't let neighboring countries to join military alliances with Russia or Iran or US allow Mexico do something similar. The other NATO countries have wimped out, allowing themselves to become dependent for energy security on Russian oil and gas while exporting almost all manufacturing industry to the far east and allowing China to dominate supply chains for essential goods and commodities. Thus without the USA, NATO is now irrelevant.
Beyond that both NATO and its allies and Russia have been meddling in Ukrainian politics for years. Do you think its for the betterment of the Ukrainian people? or do they want access and control of Ukrainian resources? It need not of come to this but the self righteous see the world black and white. Trumps solution may seem unfair to Ukraine and maybe it is. But it will bring peace. That seems fairer for all in the end. And above all we should remember that it was the UKIES that allowed themselves to be manipulated by Barack Obama's corrupt administration into starting the war back in 2014.

The young man was referring to the Storm Shadw missiles donated to the Ukie was effort by the UK.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the
primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...
Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable. To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this, The Daily Stirrer and many other alternative media news and analysis sites have been warning for about two years that Obama's foreign policy was making conflict inevitable.
