By Matt Underwood Trump told Zelenskiy after summit that Putin wants more of Ukraine, source says. Well, isn’t that just a stunning revelation? I mean, who could have seen that coming? It’s almost as predictable as the sun rising in the east. It’s almost comical how obvious it is. Of course, Putin wants more. Dragons always want more gold, don’t they?
Trump’s statement to Zelenskiy after their summit, that Putin has his eyes set on more Ukrainian territory, is hardly a shocker. Anyone following the situation even casually has likely arrived at the same conclusion. The intent to expand Russia’s grasp isn’t exactly a well-kept secret. It’s the core of the conflict.
It’s important to remember that there are larger implications at play here. This is not just about a piece of land. It’s about a leader who seems hellbent on dismantling another sovereign nation. It’s a stark reminder of the stakes involved and the fragility of peace.
However, as the saying goes, history repeats itself, and with leaders like Putin and Trump, the pattern is clear. Their behaviors, desires and methods are predictable, and, at their core, self-serving.
Now, there is one question that really hits a nerve here. Can you truly expect any form of honest negotiations or resolutions with this dynamic? We can see that it is clear that these personalities, these actions are not reliable, not consistent.
This entire situation highlights, more than anything, the necessity for strong allies and unwavering support for Ukraine. It shows us that appeasement will not work. If anything, it’s likely to embolden the aggressor.
So let’s not be surprised. The news is not surprising at all. Putin wants more of Ukraine. And, unfortunately, from some reports, it seems he might even be getting what he wants.
