Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine arrived at the White House this afternoon to meet with President Donald Trump and seek additional weapons for use in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict.
There has been much talk of late about the U.S. supplying Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to Ukraine, which would allow for strikes deep inside Russia. Word came out of NATO headquarters on October 15saying that "NATO approves distribution of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine." But it's not NATO's call; it is a decision that can only be made by the US President.
Many people believe NATO is trying to corner Trump and sort of "force his hand" with their October 15 "approval." NATO cannot force Trump to do anything.
Which brings us to today's meeting at the White House: As of 5:30 PM EDT, there is absolutely ZERO word out of the White House about Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Nothing. Not even a peep.
There are two possibilities:
a) The missiles HAVE been approved and are already shipping, but the US/NATO don't want anyone knowing, OR;
b) Trump has either not yet decided, or has decided "no."
Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin sort of Pre-empted Zelelnsky by engaging in a 2.5 hour telephone call with Trump. As expected, the topic of Ukraine came up.
Now, today, a very curious thing took place at the meeting in the White House; Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wore a very interesting necktie. Take a look:
Here, maybe this photo makes things clearer:
Same color pattern as the RUSSIAN flag.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
International Journalist Chay Bowes is convinced that Zelensky got "No Tomahawks" and "got told to Make a deal."
A masterclass in squirm.

He got no Tomahawks, he got told to make a deal.
