He's out of his freaking mind
American Troops Must be Deployed to Ukraine or Russia Won’t be Deterred, Insists Zelensky
Intensifying talk in European capitals about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine’s front lines is welcome but it won’t work without American boots on the ground, President Volodymyr Zelensky says at the Davos World Economic Forum meeting.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has been at Davos this week drumming up support, but also attempting to ingratiate himself with President Donald Trump by acting as a conduit for America First messaging to European leaders. Nevertheless, Bloomberg reports the Ukrainian “bristled” at the suggestion the United States wouldn’t put boots on the ground in Ukraine to deter further Russian aggression.
The conversation follows months of talk in Europe, particularly in capitals like Paris, Warsaw, and London, about what happens when the now apparently inevitable ceasefire comes. Preventing Russia from simply using a pause as a chance to catch its breath, re-arm, and then attack anew after a short break is the main concern and European leaders have told President Zelensky they would want to consider deploying their own armies to Ukraine to prevent Russia from renewing hostilities.
But forward-deploying NATO like this and de facto welcoming Ukraine into its protective embrace wouldn’t work, President Zelensky reportedly told Bloomberg on the side-lines of Davos, without American manpower. He is reported to have said: “It can’t be without the United States… Even if some European friends think it can be, no it can’t be. Nobody will risk without the United States.”
As well as the United States, Zelensky also expressed optimism that China might be persuaded to force Russia to peace, because so much of Russia’s economy and military supply relies on Beijing. While “President Trump is the strongest”, Xi Jinping “can push Putin for peace, I’m sure”.
Perhaps the most involved Western leader in the concept of a multinational peacekeeping force sending troops to face down the Russians in Ukraine has been France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who has been discussing the idea with Zelensky for months, now. Previously, Zelensky has even branded the idea “President Macron’s initiative regarding the presence of forces in Ukraine that could contribute to stabilizing the path to peace”.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has already indicated he will back Macron’s idea, saying the country will play a “full part” in the peacekeeping mission”.
As previously reported, it had been stated by a ‘senior European official’ in December: “if there were a NATO security guarantee, where would the impetus on the ground come from? It would be European so our army chiefs are already preparing plans for European leaders to consider in the future”. But some have expressed doubt over whether European militaries will simply be large enough.
As stated, even a deterrent force of 100,000 troops to Ukraine would “severely stretch European land forces”. Last week, senior retired British Army officers were quick to remind PM Starmer after his peacekeeping force comments that the British military was probably too small to not struggle to play that “full part”, not least if the now barebones remains of the Royal Navy had to be called upon to patrol the Black Sea.

4 arrested in connection with burglary at Joe Burrow's house
Surprise... all four are illegal
When the agent pulled the car over, Alexander Chavez, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez and Sergio Cabello allegedly showed the agent fake identification. The car smelled of marijuana and it was later confirmed that the four men were in the country illegally, court records filed in Clark County, Ohio, say.
Four Chilean nationals have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the burglary of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s Ohio home last month, according to WLWT in Cincinnati.
An investigator wrote in the court document that an “old LSU shirt” and Bengals hat were found in the suspects’ SUV, although Burrow — an LSU alum — is not specifically named, per the report.
One of the suspects also carried a cell phone that matched data from a Hamilton County cell phone tower from the Dec. 9 robbery in Anderson Township.

Sergio Cabello, Jordan Sanchez, Bastian Morales and Alexander Chavez are facing charges of participating in a criminal gang, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, obstructing official business and possession of criminal tools, according to WLWT.
The court document said the four arrests are part of the “ongoing investigation involving burglaries of multi-million dollar homes in multiple states.”
A special agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation saw “four male Chileans” exiting a La Quinta Hotel with luggage in Fairborn, Ohio on Jan. 10.
They offered false information and names after being pulled over, per the report, and three told detectives at the Clark County Sheriff’s Office that they visited Ohio to see snow while on vacation.

One of them men, who had been carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, had previously been identified by the special agent as a possible suspect in the robbery.
Investigators also discovered tools wrapped in towels that are used by South American theft groups to break glass and enter houses, per the report.
“After the four male Chileans’ true identifications were learned all four males were identified as being illegally in the country or overstayed their permissions,” the document states, per WLWT.
WLWT reported that Burrow’s home is the only multi-million dollar home to have been burglarized in Hamilton County on said date, lending credence to the connection with Burrow’s scare.
Burglars broke into Burrow’s home during a 27-20 road win over the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football,” with WLWT reporting at the time a bedroom had been “ransacked” and one window smashed.
SI Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton was later revealed to have been in the house and called 911.
“Someone broke into my house,” Ponton told police. “It’s like completely messed up. … Can we please send more people?”
Burrow was understandably quite perturbed by the ransacking.
“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,” Burrow said in December. “I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.”
Before Burrow, Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes each dealt with burglaries in October.
The incidents led to the NFL warning players about how professional athletes have been targeted by crime groups, with a South American crime ring alleged to be the perpetrators behind the two incidents.
