I think most people are looking at Trump's negotiations with Zelensky all wrong.
Tump is showing master class negotiating and looking at Ukraine as only one piece of a puzzle.
Trump sees the USA as paying for the world's defense. Trump sees other nations, literally Canada, the UK, the EU and perhaps 60% of NATO nations as 'freeloaders' relying on US defense. Trump sees that most of them shirking their responsibilities and sees that most of them have done it for 10, 20 or more years. Trump sees that the USA can't afford to continue to pay the bill for freeloaders. Trump sees our borders as something that need to be defended first, and we have bi-lateral treaties with both Mexico and Canada and NEITHER are defending the border, both rely on the USA to monitor the border, stop drug trafficking, etc
Trump sees mass deaths in Ukraine, 1-Million DEAD, 3-Million INJURED between Ukraine and Russia and also see that NOBODY has a solution to end the war, the Biden admin gave Ukraine JUST ENOUGH aid to continue, but not to win.
And there is the middle east, which cost us billions and the HAMAS has only one desire => KILL ALL THE JEWS
So what did Trump do after he was elected, and some things were done even before his inauguration. . .
SO, looking at the ENTIRE PUZZLE, instead of treating each as an individual, Trump is looking at the WHOLE thing.
Break things down. NATO members are under paying. Some would have to increase to 10% of their GDP for the next 5 or 10 years just to catch up with what they have shorted over the past decade++
So he announces he wants Greenland and the Danes, which patrol the North Sea with icebreakers say WTF??? Oh Hell no! And they now pledge to move their ships to Greenland and to invest $2 BILLION in Greenland and another $5 to $7 BILLION in defenses IF THE E.U. steps up and takes over the North Sea.
BOOM, all of a sudden we don't need to buy Greenland, it is defended and it didn't cost the US a penny.
BOOM, all of a sudden the EU agrees to bolster spending to defend the North Sea. again costing US nothing.
And Trump starts bitching about NATO and sends several different signals.
BOOM, all of a sudden NATO nations are talking about increasing 3.5% and maybe even 5% contributions because they under funded and 9 nations are still under the minimal 2% commitment. This makes NATO much stronger. This costs us nothing. This also helps US companies export arms.
And he talks about GAZA as a tourist trap for the rich and people gaffaw and laugh and are outraged.
And he talks about HAMAS being 8th century barbarians and indicates he will unleash Israel to do whatever it needs to do, including bombing Iran.
BOOM, 12 nations in the middle east are setting a meeting to come up with a "Palestinian Solution" to figure out what THEY are going to do so that the USA doesn't just come in and displace all the Palestinians to build a beachside resort city. And remember that Russia has interests in Syria and Iran and and the middle east is a hotbed for Russia too.
And Trump talks about deporting illegals and nations start to say they won't accept them. He slaps down Columbia instantly and hard and turns their tough talking socialist president into his whimpering little bitch in less than 12 hours.
BOOM, countries now are offering to send their own planes to pick up people, a couple are offering to house criminals for us, and our border crossings have plummeted from 100,000 a week to 100.
Tariffs, tariffs and beautiful tariffs against Canada and Mexico . . . nothing about our trade deals, but everything about fentanyl, human smuggling, illegal border crossing, and the international treaties that both Canada and Mexico have been ignoring and failing to comply with for the past 20+ years (maybe more like 50 years).
BOOM, both nations agree to send their troops to patrol the border and look for fentanyl, both nations agree to invest roughly $1 BILLION each to continue enforcing the border.
And today we have the little chirping bird Zelensky, who has been publicly criticizing Trump forever. The guy literally flew to Scranton, PA during our Presidential Election (I believe it was September, but JD Vance said October, maybe someone can fact check the date) and campaigned with Josh Shapiro and criticized Trump. The Ukrainians, in 2017, during Trumps first campaign also interfered and that ended up destroying Trump's first term due to the "Steele Dossier" which turned into the Russian Collusion Hoax. And we get to today when he is bitch slapped down in the Oval Office.
IMMEDIATELY the E.U. members come out and say they stand behind Ukraine. But Trump knows that Germany has 10, possibly 11 F35 jets that are battle ready. Yes, 10 advanced fighters. Only 10. And UK's Starmer says he wants to commit 10,000 troops but his generals have already told him that the best they might be able to do is 1800 troops. And they would have to rely upon US transport planes, C130's and a full component of US logistics. So we know the EU and NATO are basically powerless without the USA.
And Trump is offering to put the USA onto the ground in the form of private companies to mine their minerals and develop their resources, in a co-dependent and co-profit sharing way, knowing that if we have these big American companies on the ground they are the "buffer" that will ensure lasting deterrence. Because our economic interests are the main reason that USA would be willing to defend any country.
And deterence will also come from NATO being much strong because the other nations are starting to step up and take defense seriously for the first time in decades.
And toss in the who Taiwan-China situation, combined with the massive risks to both Australia and the Philipean Island and all of a sudden the US is in a much better position to help protect the Pacific, which is now being threatened by China. The Phillipean Coast Guard ships have been targeted numerous times by Chinese ships, several have been "bumped" and pushed aside. China has made subtle threats against Australia that are not so subtle. But the mainstream media didn't really cover those incidents and there have been monthly confrontations.
So Zelensky wants 'guarantees' and all of these things add up to a stronger NATO, a strong Ukraine and a stronger US. But Zelensky is blind to the puzzle because he only looks at the single piece.
So now we wait for Zelensky to come back, hat in hand, and fucking apologize for arguing against a cease fire and acting like a 4 year old.
Again, most people look at these individual puzzle pieces and Trump seems to be looking at the whole puzzle. It makes a lot of sense if you actually look at the puzzle. I think Trump is probably much smarter than most people.

So what did Trump do after he was elected, and some things were done even before his inauguration. . .
- Let's make Canada the 51st state
- Let's buy Greenland
- Let's turn Gaza into a luxury resort city like Dubai
- Tariffs, Tariffs and more 'beautiful Tariffs
