Things Ukraine President Zelensky must accept about reality.

• President Trump is not Biden.
• Russia has conquered lands once held by Ukraine and Ukraine is not getting this land back.
• There is no justice to exact from Putin. Sometimes shit happens and bad people get away with it.
• Of course aid from America is conditional. The primary condition is peace.
• The war is over. It’s now a trench war of attrition.
• Zelensky is sending his people to their needless death every day in a war he already lost.
• Ukraine is in no position to make any demands nor is Ukraine leveraged to set any conditions. That’s what happens when a country loses the war.
• Ukraine is not going to be a NATO ally. Not one NATO country in the EU wants this mess.
• Ukraine will never have the “secuirty guarantees” of a NATO ally. Let it go.
• If Zelensky believes he has the support of the American people he better look at the current cross tabs and who won the popular vote.
• Zelensky campaigning for Kamala at the Pennsylvania munitions factory was a huge miscalculation and he better be grateful Trump is more interested in the American people, Russian people, EU people, and Ukrainian people than holding a grudge about foreign election interference.
• If Zelensky can’t at least feign humility, contrition, and gratitude in exchange for conditional US support it’s best to replace him with a Ukrainian representative possessing the emotional intelligence for effective diplomacy.
• Suck it up, dude, and do as you’re told. We’re trying to help save what remains of Ukraine. You’re welcome.
