Eldest son of Donald Trump makes speculative comments during tirade against Volodymyr Zelenskyy and EU

Donald Trump may walk away from the Ukrainian war, the US president’s oldest son has said in comments to a Middle East conference.

In a lengthy tirade against the purpose of continued fighting in Ukraine, Donald Trump Jr also said Ukraine’s “corrupt” rich had fled their country leaving “what they believed to be the peasant class” to fight the war.

Trump Jr has no formal role inside his father’s administration, but is a key figure in the MAGA movement. His intervention reflects the antipathy among some inside the Trump team towards the Ukrainian government, and comes as Trump’s negotiating team is putting pressure on Kyiv to give up territory.

      And meanwhile China is doing its best to have Russia submit to them. So in the end Xi is using Putin as a hand puppet to get Trump to do what Xi wants. That’s a weird influence game.

        china is halfway there, buying up siberias natural resouces, and russia utterly dependant on china for trade. russia is nothing more than a vassal state, much like NK is. china likes to have its buffer states against its perceived enemies. pakistan against india(friends with benefits since they helped pakistan developed thier nukes), russia against the west, Nk AGAINST its asian neighbors.
