Ukraine's Zelensky says he is ready for direct talks with Putin

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview posted Tuesday that he would agree to direct talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin to end almost three years of war.  

His comments came amid high anticipation of talks to begin, with Donald Trump -- who has pledged to end the fighting -- back in the White House as the third anniversary of Moscow's invasion approaches.

Ya know what got Zelensky to this point?  First the election of Trump.  No more graft and corruption being hid as aid.  Second was the warning shot of the Trump administration going after USAID.  No more CIA money to back the schemes of the deep state.

So now he's willing to talk peace.

After he's killed a generation of his countrymen in a flawed and badly run war.

This poor bastard was being used from the start, was in over his head at the start and will die not from the Russians but from the Mothers Of Ukraine.

This war will be over before next winter.  The Europeans will not step up to provide the aid that they're used to getting and their industry/economies won't support it if they did try.
