And they kill him.

Meh. They also supplied the French, Brits, Soviets, South Koreans and various Latin American dictators with weapons and didn't kill them.
What Saddam, Gaddafi and bin Laden have in common is that they were always more of an "enemy of my enemy"-type of ally to the US, rather than truly aligned with their broader agenda or worldview.

In their defense, it wasn't for the lack of trying.

Nope, those were people with no backing. Zelensky doesn't have a backing. But Trump is even funnier: apparently Zelensky is a dictator and cannot decide anything about the future of Ukraine without elections but he is still good enough to sign a mineral's deal over future generations

Trump has always been overtly transactional. Which has often times steered him toward more rational positions than those of the "Washington consensus". But yeah, this proves that his "Zelensky is a dictator"-talking point was cynical bullshit and that Trump simply doesn't want to give Zelensky a seat at the negotiating table, so that he doesn't get in the way when Trump cuts a deal with Putin.

Zionsky the Dead Terrorist

Trump is a realist, understands that this cannot be won by Ukraine and that the US is wasting hundreds of billions.

Trump doesn't like a losing hand and is way too rational. Not emotionally involved like the previous administration and their supporters.

Trump's campaign was all about ending this war and now he delivers. Like he stated, the Biden administration / EU / Zelensky had three years to sort this out and didn't even start negotiations. Massive fail

sir how dare you, this is a complete and utter lie. Biden was not trying to negotiate he was trying to start world war 3 or he was mentally deranged. please get your facts straight!

After 26years, he suddenly asks to disband. My guess would be, all of this "freedom fighters" separatist groups were financed by USaid. Without the money and support, they've got nothing on a proper government like Turkey. The protests in Georgia are also calming down. I think EU paid them as well.
