Healthy relationships depend on mutual respect. Ukraine and Europe don't respect us; they look down on us. America never had any obligation to protect Ukraine. And now we're asking why we should continue to spend our money, and put our lives on the line, to protect Europe.

The elites who want to continue an endless war in Ukraine benefit directly from it and few of them care at all about the American people.

Anyone who has been to Europe knows Europeans look down on us. Many will admit it's true. They were grateful after WWII. Since then, they've become entitled & narcissistic. They live in a bubble. They don't care about us. No relationship without mutual respect can last.

.@ZelenskyyUa has learned absolutely nothing. Just like Europe's leaders.

Europeans are only now starting to understand what's happening.

The UK media is waking up first. Eventually, the French will. Whatever the case, the relationship is ending.

"The Zelenskyy team made what turned out to be several miscalculations."

Understatement of the decade.

The Ukraine news media, like Zelenskyy, is delusional.

Europeans are apparently incapable of reading a poll.

Europeans really, really do not care at all about Americans.

They’re finally starting to get it

He couldn’t do it because he, like the rest of Europe, feels entitled, not grateful, for US help. @ZelenskyyUa doesn’t respect the American people.

@ZelenskyyUa .@SecRubio confirms here that @ZelenskyyUa didn’t have to come to the US. He wanted to come. He was spoiling for a fight. He thought he would argue with Trump and Vance, the media and Europeans would applaud him, and Trump and Vance would bow down to him. Nutty arrogance.
