Trump and Vance were not the first to warn Zelensky that his ungrateful begging would backfire. In June 2022, during a private phone call, then-President Joe Biden reportedly lost his temper with the Ukrainian president. Biden had agreed to another massive $1 billion aid package to Ukraine at the time. Yet, no amount is enough for Zelensky.
Any diplomatic leader would react to a $1 billion aid package with gratitude, especially since the US had already sent him billions in funds and weapons. Not Zelensky whose response was to list off everything else Ukraine needed on top of the new aid package. Reports state that Biden lost his temper and shouted at Zelensky during the private phone call—SHOW SOME GRATITUDE!
Zelensky used the United States and public taxpayer funds as his personal endless piggybank. He made a complete fool of Joe Biden who continued to fulfill his every wish. The difference between the current and last administration is that Trump will not tolerate disrespect. Additionally, Biden was forced to save face with the public to secure Zelensky’s image and America’s unwavering support.
In fact, months after the heated phone call, Biden publicly apologized to Zelensky for not sending MORE. He blamed the GOP, stating that Republican lawmakers were stalling additional aid as a political bargaining chip. America had already spent hundreds of billions on Zelensky’s proxy war, but our weak sell-out of a leader cowered and apologized for not prioritizing a foreign nation over his own. What an embarrassment and slap in the face to the people of America.
Numerous people have told me, “This is what I voted for” after Trump and Vance put Zelensky in his place. “Have you ever said ‘thank you’ once?” Vance questioned. Zelensky telling Trump that America would “feel” the impact of the war eventually was the final straw. He actually threatened the president of the United States by warning that war would soon be on his doorstep. The world needed to see that encounter to understand Zelensky. He could have easily chosen PEACE! He could have chosen to prioritize the lives of his troops rather than his ego and pockets. The deal was there awaiting him, but he chose death and destruction.
Zelensky came for a paycheck and left with a reality check. Sorry, but the new American administration serves the American people who have provided Ukraine with more funding than any other nation. The neocons in Europe can cry all they want about America abandoning Europe, but they fail to acknowledge that our president was offering PEACE and an end to war. But no, the neocons are hell-bent on conquering Russia, so peace was never an option. It will be of interest to see how the European leaders who do not support this endless war will react and if it will cause another fracture in the EU.
Trump has said he’d like to stop focusing on Russia and Ukraine and refocus on securing America’s borders. Let us not forget that millions of undocumented, unvetted foreign nationals are still residing in America, presenting an extreme threat to our own national security.
The war in Ukraine has disproportionately hurt Hungary and Slovakia. To add insult to injury, Zelensky declined to renew a gas line deal that was providing the two European nations with essential energy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico have once again broken ties with the European Union and shot down the latest Ukrainian aid package.
Hungary’s Orban wrote a letter to Brussels in which he urged for peace. “I am convinced that the European Union – following the example of the United States – should enter into direct discussions with Russia on a ceasefire and a sustainable peace in Ukraine,” Orban wrote to Antonio Costa, who heads the Council of the EU’s 27 member states. Instead of seeing this man as someone who wants to prevent death and destruction, Western media is pinning him as a Russian tool and Putin ally.
“If the summit does not respect that there are other views than continuing the war, the European Council on Thursday may not be able to agree on conclusions on Ukraine,” Fico said in a Facebook post. Orban said that the differences in opinion “cannot be bridged” but believes that the EU must vote unanimously on the next aid package.
Costa replied to Orban’s letter with a biased anti-Russian stance, claiming that the EU does, in fact, want peace—but they’re unwilling to take any measures to ensure peace. Brussels does not protect its member states. Slovakia and Hungary repeatedly urged Brussels to take their energy crisis into consideration but the EU dismissed their pleas. Now, they’re asking all member states to continually pour money into one of the most corrupt nations in Europe for nothing in return. Brussels is akin to some cult leader begging members for all their funding, promising to protect them from some inevitable threat that will never come before asking them to commit (economic) suicide.
The European Union cannot survive for a plethora of reasons, one being that certain nations no longer wish to see their people live through World War III. We will see on March 6 if the EU respects the vote of all member states or if they blatantly move ahead without unanimous support.

We’ve watched a lot of different takes on the explosive Friday oval office meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Trump, however this explanation from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is exceptional.
Secretary Lutnick explains what the administration team anticipated from Zelenskyy versus what took place. Knowing the context of the congressional team that met with Zelenskyy prior to the Oval Office meeting, the explanation from Lutnick takes on even more sunlight. This is a very brutally honest take from a great member of the Trump administration. WATCH:
.
President Trump’s repeated position that Zelenskyy is refusing to discuss peace because the USA is standing close with him, is exactly the reason President Trump is now going to create distance.
CUT HIM OFF – President Trump is going to force Ukraine to stand without the USA support, only supported by the EU and U.K. It’s essentially a peacekeeping standoff. President Trump wants peace, the Ukranian people want peace, Zelenskyy and the EU/UK are willing to fight Russia to the last Ukranian.
It’s not about sending U.S. military goods into Ukraine, the Trump play can be twofold. (1) We stop paying for their government operations; and (2) potentially we turn off the U.S. satellite targeting systems that Ukraine is using. Then watch what happens.

No one should trust him, but Volodymr Zelenskyy just caved.
Posting to Twitter (X platform) the Ukraine President delivers the following message:
“I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”

Facing the potential for tariffs on Mexican assembled autos, Honda has cancelled plans to invest in a new auto factory in Guanajuato, Mexico, beginning in November 2027. Instead, the car company will retool the Civic auto production facility in Greensburg, Indiana, keeping jobs in the USA.
TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) – Honda has decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. While several automakers have expressed concerns about the levies, Honda’s move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.
Japan’s second-largest automaker had initially planned to manufacture the next-generation Civic in Guanajuato, Mexico, according to the three people. Production was slated to start from November 2027, according to one of the people. Mexico was chosen because rising costs were making it tough to produce the car in Indiana and Canada, one of them said.
It now plans to build the new Civic model in Indiana from May 2028 with an expected annual production of around 210,000, one of the people said. Honda would look to import from nations not hit by tariffs if production in Indiana falls short of demand, one of them said. (read more)
Honda also has facilities in Georgia and Alabama. Its plant in the Peach State produces gearboxes, while the Alabama plant produces the brand’s bigger Passport and Pilot SUVs and the Ridgeline pickup and Odyssey minivan.
Separately, Honda is making investments in American production. It has committed $1 billion toward turning its Ohio facilities, including the Marysville Auto Plant, into an “EV hub.”
