Responding to reports, former US President Donald Trump stated Ukraine should not strike Moscow, a stance he reportedly discussed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump denied intentions to send long-range weapons to Ukraine, dismissing claims of a plan to sell US arms through NATO. These comments followed media reports that Trump had inquired whether Kyiv could target Moscow and St. Petersburg. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump raised the issue but denied encouraging further violence, amid reports of potential Tomahawk missile shipments.

Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, and the first thing that comes to mind is the sheer absurdity of it all. It’s like watching a broken record skip and repeat, constantly changing its tune depending on who’s listening, and more importantly, who’s calling. One day it’s all bluster about being tough, the next it’s backpedaling faster than a greased piglet at a county fair. It’s hard to take seriously any stance when it’s likely to be reversed within hours, influenced by… well, who knows? Maybe a phone call, maybe a whispered word, or maybe just a stray thought. The fact that Russia has been relentlessly bombing civilian centers, while the former President seems more concerned about protecting Moscow’s “feelings” is, frankly, sickening.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, because apparently, upsetting Putin is the biggest no-no of all. It’s a classic case of prioritizing the ego of a dictator over the lives and safety of a nation fighting for its very existence. While Ukraine is focused on military and infrastructural targets, the suggestion that they shouldn’t respond in kind to attacks on their own capital city is beyond the pale. It’s a twisted logic that seems to suggest that only one side is allowed to inflict damage, while the other must passively accept it. It’s a strategic move, of course, protecting high value targets is a better move as it is.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, because it seems to play into the narrative of weakness and appeasement. It’s a narrative that empowers the aggressor and demoralizes the defender. The implication is that Russia’s actions are somehow understandable or excusable, while Ukraine’s right to self-defense is conditional. It’s like saying, “Don’t hit back, even though they’re hitting you.” In a world where Russia openly rejects any peaceful resolution, this kind of rhetoric becomes dangerous and counterproductive.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, the speed at which the narrative shifts is staggering. One minute it’s a stern warning, the next it’s a complete reversal, a flip-flop so fast it would make a political acrobat dizzy. It’s almost as if the previous stance was simply a way to position oneself as a hero, a savior of sorts, by threatening Moscow, only to have that wind taken out of the sails when reality, or maybe a phone call, intervened.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, the irony is almost too much to bear. On one hand, he claims not to want to send long-range weapons to Ukraine, but at the same time, the weapons being sent could potentially reach Moscow. It’s like a riddle wrapped in an enigma, tied with a bow of hypocrisy. What is the real goal here? To support Ukraine, or to play a complex game of brinksmanship? The constant confusion leaves everyone bewildered.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, and it’s a stance that feels like a complete betrayal of the values that should underpin any meaningful leadership. It’s a slap in the face to the memory of every Ukrainian who has lost their life defending their land. How can anyone defend the city of Kyiv from daily bombardment and the answer is to stop targeting Moscow’s feeling? It is an appalling position.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, it underscores a lack of seriousness that defines the situation. The whole thing feels as though there is chaos at play, and in a time of war and suffering, that is dangerous. What is the real goal? To help Ukraine, or to be seen as a hero? The whole thing feels like a betrayal of Ukrainian suffering. And it’s also a political move to try to make sure the GOP does not show the Epstein files, who knows.
Zelenskyy should not target Moscow – Trump, and that’s the reality of the situation. The only people in the world who are suffering from this are the people of Ukraine, who are seeing their homes and lives destroyed. The best thing to do is to stay focused on what is right and what is just. The best way to remember the Ukrainian dead is to fight for their freedom, and that may mean the fight is taken to Moscow.
