They invited him for the sole purpose of humiliating him, thats all this is. Fucking disgusting.
Trump probably actually believed he could get the Russians to cave, but Putin has not given an inch so far, and they are openly contradicting even the smallest concessions Trump has publicly stated. So Trump, not wanting to fail his third self-proposed deadline now starts to bully the Victim to pressure him into accepting ANY deal, where Ukraine gets no security guarantees, has to give up all the territory, and 50% of all future profit from fossils/rare earth go to America because Trump has to be rewarded for “mediating” the whole thing I guess
Honestly expecting Trump to lift sanctions any day now and stop any and all aid to Ukraine, if Zelensky doesnt give in. Then its up to Europe and whoever is left defending Ukraine.
I really thought I have seen it all but fuck my life, openly attacking and mocking the President of a nation under attack like that is vile even for Trump standards.
What a failure of a country we are to do a complete 180 because we elected a conman who previous tried blackmailing the ukraine government. We just did a complete 180 and abandoned yet another critical ally, UA.
Trump must be removed from power.
Based Zelensky. Fuck the current US administration. What a mute joke. Tried to ambush him and still came out looking like schoolyard bullies.
This is absolutely unprecedented behaviour in the public eye too, this isn’t a fucking TV show. People are dying and you’re pissing away your soft power and potential goodwill over what? Absolute fucking leeches. Fucking mosquitos. It’s simply a joke.
As an American who didn’t vote for this clown show, I’m sorry. Please don’t let this happen to your country and fight the good fight against hatred, intolerance, and the pillaging of this planet.
Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the free world acting like an aggressive baboon. What the hell is happening to the United States of America?
With allies like this why do you even need enemies. The only thing the Ukrainians can count on is in Europe, specifically eastern Europe because only they understand Russian aggression.
Make no mistake, if Ukraine surrenders unconditionally to Russia, they will not stop and invade again until the whole country is controlled by Moscow.
As a American I just want to say how ashamed I am. And I want to apologize to Ukraine, we should be there in the trenches with you. Not selling you out.
From a European, I know this is ironic on a USA platform but we should be making an effort to cut off American products. They’re a purely capitalistic country going to dictatorship and since our governments are too scared of cutting them off we should at least do our best with purchasing power and preventing anymore of this. I’ve cut off Netflix and HBO. I’m in the process of moving all my stuff from Google drive into physical HDs for the meantime. The USA benefits from a weak Europe. Ukraine isn’t the bastion of the free like reddit pretends it is and has their problems but they are allowed their independence.
I wonder, do Americans actually have a backbone anymore? Have you been whipped so hard by your corporate overlords that now you’d rather sit back and watch the newest TV slop and consume the newest trash they feed you?
Maybe America was founded by the rugged pioneers they speak about. Maybe your Founders were intellectuals striving for freedom. Maybe once your people were willing to fight for what you believe in.
Not anymore. America grew fat on the aftermath of WWII, you have forgotten what you were.
Fucking bitches. I wish Zelensky was our president. I just hope the Ukrainian people know that this isn’t the way everyone here acts and thinks… not that that helps them in this moment. This asshole is not my president and as far as I’m concerned this administration is illegitimate AF.
I’m going to take a wild guess and say this whole ordeal was just a publicity stunt for Trump to try and turn Ukrainian’s against Zelenskyy and try to make it seems to Americans that Zelenskyy is the problem..
Don’t worry though we all understand Trump is the traitor..
Sheesh. That was all round a massively embarassing showing from the Trump administration. Bringing the guy in to childishly berate him with Putin talking points and buzzwords, unprofessionally cutting Zelenskyy off…
Doesn’t look like the reception is particularly hearty on either side of the political spectrum.
This was an absolute disgrace. No one is ever going to trust us again, and with good reason. This was not “strength” or “toughness”, this is Trump and Vance giving into their egotistical impulses. It’s admirable that Zelensky stayed as calm as he did, and pushed back the way that he did even though he is not as comfortable with speaking English.
Donald Trump was impeached for attempting to extort Ukraine/Zelenskyy into helping him get dirt on Joe Biden.
Why the hell would they *ever* trust that shady fucker again?
This tells me it’s safe to say the world is on its own, trusting the US to save you is a good way to put yourself on the path to naivety. Europe needs to get its shit together. European countries are talking about increasing military spending but it’s not happening fast enough. It’s honestly up to them and only them at this point to end the war.
It was so cringe to watch…
Can the free world please all wake up? Stop being friends with the United States. They don’t see anyone as friends or allies, only pacts of convenience. They’ve propped up and backstabbed so many foreign regimes, and they’ll continue to do it so long as nations are willing to rely on them.
The EU/NATO are absolutely **not** seen as allies. European NATO countries were simply meant to be a meat shield against the Soviet threat. It’s meant to keep the war away from US soil.
Look at Ukraine, Uncle Sam is more than happy to supply the majority of the weapons to use Ukrainian lives to defeat a geopolitical rival. A large portion of the NATO partner support also has to rely on purchasing or sending existing US weapons to Ukraine, which then props up the US industry. In return, you have a depleted Europe that also has to handle most of the refugees. What a deal for the Americans.
Kick the US out of Europe. Let Europeans wean off the reliance of US defense. Build up a true European Army. Don’t get caught in the middle of US geopolitical shenanigans. If America wants to fight, let Americans bleed for themselves.
It’s time Europe moves on from the US by its entirety. Trump is asking for this, he is asking for the damage he wants to rain his country with. No more talks, no more diplomacy. He’s on his own, and his allies soon-to-be enemies will have to stand up to the madman.
I hate these fuckers. And not just Trump and Vance. Every motherfucker that enabled them, that supported them, that ignorantly voted for these vile pieces of shit.
Objectively awful people across the board. When the pendulum swings back the other way, I hope it swings fast and hard.
Damn whatever you believe about Ukraine and Russia, inviting a world leader to a press conference then actively attacking him is insane and petty. If zelensky visited Russia he would have been treated better.
If the US doesn’t continue with support the other NATO communities most likely will. Even with that Ukraine could still grind down Russia for years.
Remember Russia only has a population of 140 million. 16 percent of their population is over 65. Over 700 thousand casualties on the battlefield and around 2 million have moved to other countries to avoid the draft. Population wise they can’t sustain the war or a larger one.
