Hats off to one of the few remaining real politicians who put the country over their own person.
On the other hand, if they would hold a vote for a new president after that, he surely would get the job again.
Russia will prevent ukraine nato entry
Trump so mad because Zelenskyy got all the balls and he got none
I wouldn’t say he got one. He’s got a couple musky ones resting on his chin pretty regularly.
Really clever move. Take the wind out of old Trumptator’s sails
That’s not very dictator-like. I’m starting to wonder if Donald Trump misjudged him…
Trump is incapable of comprehending this level of selflessness

Trump is cap
Trump is crap
As with everything Maga it was projection
Ol Drumpy? Misjudge someone‽ Nah, that’s just the WoKe meDiA lying to you!!!/s
Didn’t turkey block Sweden for years? Can Ukraine join NATO if the US opposes?
Ukraine can’t join without being in active conflict with another country for a set amount of time.
A rule, I might add, put in place to prevent exactly this scenario.
A fascist dictator rising in USA? That was planned for?
I think if the US opposes Ukraine joining, then NATO will be de facto replaced by some European equivalent. So the question is, is the US - and specifically I mean the Trump regime - comfortable with that?
Nothing would really need to change, as if Ukraine was admitted to the EU defence agreement, that is a stronger binding agreement than NATO towards Europe.
And if Russia attacks, and most of NATO is thus at war, the US will then do what the US would have always done either way, which I don’t know what it is at this point.
any single country can block another from joining
I think the rest of NATO should eagerly take him up on his offer… sans the resignation. Because Ukraine needs Zelenskyy at this point.
That alone would enrage Putin and his KGB puppet currently sitting in the Oval Office.
And then the rest of NATO can go completely weapons-free at Russia and Belarus.
sadly he just doesn’t get it.
bargaining with less than no leverage… smart move
This is not bargaining… It’s simply proving he isn’t a dictator
