Trump takes swipe at Zelensky’s leadership

“Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left,” US President Donald Trump says in a post on Truth Social.

Labelling Zelensky “a dictator”, Trump writes: “I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has done a terrible job, his country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died.”

Trump says in the meantime, the US is “successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia”.

For context: Zelensky’s presidential term expired last May, however Ukraine has been under martial law since the Russian invasion in February 2022, which means presidential elections are suspended.

    By “in our pockets” yes, it might go to some Americans, but you’re largely talking about taking it out of the taxes of all Americans and giving it to the 0.1%.

    Those American weapons manufacturers and their inverstors are already beyond incredibly wealthy.

      It’s always something with yall isn’t it?

      Lockheed Martin’s profit margin is something like 3%. The supply chain for the stuff they build Is the definition of “good factory job”

      None of that 97% cost goes outside of the US

        You’re right. Lockheed Martin’s CEO only makes a very reasonable $21,516,613 salary, 191 times their median salary. Your taxes hard at work.
