Jimmy examines Donald Trump’s renewed calls for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to leave office, and questions why Trump blames Ukraine’s leadership for prolonging the war while continuing U.S. support for Kyiv. He also features a video from former U.S. intelligence official Scott Ritter, who alleges that Trump’s earlier policies—including supplying weapons to Ukraine and expanding CIA operations near Russia—contradict his current claims that he wants peace. The discussion broadens into disputed interpretations of the war’s origins, with Jimmy and his producer Mischa Paullin arguing that NATO expansion, the 2014 change of government in Ukraine, fighting in the Donbas, and the failure of the Minsk agreements contributed to the conflict; they also claim a potential peace agreement was derailed by Western pressure, particularly from then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The segment concludes by portraying U.S. and European policy toward Russia as inconsistent and arguing that continued military support has prolonged the war, while presenting the view that negotiations and changes in leadership could offer a different path.
