Trump and Zelenskyy trade barbs as US-Ukraine relations sour over the war with Russia
apnews.com
Zelenskyy said Trump was living in a Russian-made “disinformation space” and Trump called Zelenskyy “a dictator without elections” in comments that were sure to complicate efforts to end the war with Russia.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of living in a “Russian-made disinformation space” due to his administration’s talks with Kremlin officials.

He urged Trump’s team to be “more truthful” after Trump blamed Kyiv for the war and downplayed U.S. aid contributions.

Zelenskyy’s remarks came as U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg visited Kyiv amid shifting U.S. policy on Russia. Meanwhile, European leaders, feeling sidelined by U.S.-Russia talks, held emergency meetings.

Zelenskyy canceled a Saudi Arabia trip in protest.

    Idk what you’re smoking to think conservatives are against financial risk, given conservative governments reliably fuck up the economy.

        Conservatives don’t follow that one, and repeatedly vote for people who cannot manage an economy at all.

        If I tell you one of my core principles is that all life is sacred, and then I go out hunting, start a couple wars and in general kill a ton of people and animals, me telling you about my core principles is just lying.

        Conservatives reliably cannot manage an economy, in fact the US has voted someone in who can’t even run a fucking casino. Conservatives are not the side of good economics, no matter how often they lie saying they are.

          Buddy, decide if you want to push your propaganda or if you want to believe in reality. But stop playing this role of denying facts and history to serve your agenda. You could open your eyes and see a self proclaimed conservative president reducing the federal debt because conservatives are fiscally reserved, or you can choose to stay misinformed but you can’t rationalize this ‘conservatives are everything bad in the world so they are both over and under spenders’ mentality.

              I know you don’t genuinely want to know why conservatives are seen as fiscally conservative (it’s in the name), but I’ll explain. Republicans and conservatives are different things kind of like leftist and liberals are different things. Conservatives are seen as financially conservative they want to encourage family wealth, they want rely on family instead of the gov(can’t afford to lose the family fortune), and they tend towards ‘traditional’ (conservative) jobs/industries like oil and banking (instead of crypto and self driving/EVs, that are more risky for layoffs, closures, crashes and overwork). Republicans are seen as fiscally conservative because they want a smaller government and a smaller government doesn’t need to be funded so much so the taxes don’t need to be raised. The national debt is this black hole of doom that I thought we had all agreed we would just tolerate until the world exploded and I’m personally stunned to see any president try to reduce the national deficit.
