I don’t see why Zelenskyy doesn’t take the easy, obvious answer to ending the war that Trump is offering where they simply give Putin everything he wants and get nothing in return. If Trump has taught us anything, it’s how to give in when things get tough.

Imagine the FBI suddenly "finding" 1 million Epstein documents. On Christmas eve. Remember when a single email was enough to launch years of Pizzagate consipracies with zero evidence but Trump is all over the Epstein files and there's nothing to see here.
