Predictably, peace negotiations involving the White House went nowhere. The regime in the White House was peddling a softer version of Russia's demands, which were non-starters. Ukraine doesn’t need Trump to sign such deals. Another failed election promise

Trump’s regime is once again blaming Ukraine. Trump promised to end the war within 24 hours but failed, as Putin simply refused. Perhaps you shouldn't have caved to Putin so early in the negotiations. Weak and incompetent, surrounded by loyalists who only praise an unfit leader

Ukraine didn’t choose to be invaded. In contrast, Trump initiated a tariff war, only to later backtrack after damaging global trust in the U.S and savings of regular Americans. And why pick a fight with the Houthis if you're too incompetent to win it in the first place?

In 2022, Russia annexed the Ukrainian oblasts they occupied with updated maps of Russia appearing in book stores in 2023. In Russian law, the regions are Russia, not Ukraine or disputed, they're Russia. If striking "Russia" with ATACMS caused WW3, it would've started months ago.
