During their roughly one-hour phone call on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that “American ownership” of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants would be “the best protection” for them, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters.

    I seriously want to be a fly on Zelensky’s wall after these calls with Trump, hearing what he truly thinks of this fuckwad.

      I bet it would be like-

      “Who the fuck is feeding him these ideas? Is it Putin or one of Trumps cronies?”

      “We are at war and he wants to make real estate deals? He clearly has no idea what the fuck he is talking about”

    Honestly I think Zelensky’s best play at this point is to agree to whatever with some token resistance, and immediately buy nukes from France, then cancel the deal. Trump/Putin have proven too many times their word doesn’t mean shit. Any treaty with them is worth less than the paper it’s written on. Treat them as such.

    I mean if trump were not in office and if we were talking the one russia took over and we would give it back afterwards then this would make some sense. Sounds like he is saying the us should take over all their infrastructure though and of course he would eff up anything under him.
