  2. >The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s[ remarks in the Oval Office on Friday](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/28/trump-ukraine-russia-zelensky/) and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, a senior administration official told The Washington Post.

    >The decision, if taken, would apply to billions of dollars of radars, vehicles, ammunition and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine through the presidential drawdown authority, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.

    >The consideration of withholding arms for Ukraine as it fends off a full-scale invasion from Russia underscores the dramatic plunge in relations between the erstwhile allies after the contentious Oval Office exchange between Zelensky, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

    >The official pushed back on the notion that Trump and Vance’s confrontation with Zelensky was premeditated, and noted that efforts were made to strike a more positive tone in planning ahead of the meeting as indicated by Trump’s dropping of his accusation that Zelensky is a “dictator.”

  4. FUCK OFF! AFTER THE BS HE DID IN THE MEETING, HE’S THE ONE THAT GOT BUTTHURTED?!

    FUCK TRUMP! FUCK VANCE! FUCK THEIR TRUMPIST RUZZIPUBLIC OF AMERIKA!

  5. “The official pushed back on the notion that Trump and Vance’s confrontation with Zelensky was premeditated, and **noted that efforts were made to strike a more positive tone** in planning ahead of the meeting as indicated **by Trump’s dropping of his accusation that Zelensky is a ‘dictator.'”**

    You can’t make this shit up. Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump.

  7. Just wait for the day when the US will join Russia to help it attacking Ukraine.

  10. Yeah this was always going to happen.

    That’s why Biden and NATO were rushing to get funding and weapons to Ukraine before the inauguration. Everyone knew this would happen one way or another.

  11. This was always the plan. Trump does not even believe in NATO. What is Ukraine to him?

    NATO is next.

  12. Remember when Trump flew out an FBI guy just to fire him? I think he did that with Zelensky. He just wanted to humiliate him.

  13. Yep, I saw this coming. Trump orchestrated this whole thing.

    Classic false flag operation. Exactly the shit Putin does.

  14. The single biggest victory of Russia post 1992 is getting this dude the push he needs to get into office.

  15. My country makes me sick. We have been infiltrated by Russia.

  16. And there’s the knife 🔪

    We are not amused 🇨🇦 🇺🇦

  18. This is what he has been planning all along.

    Looks really weak from Trump, he and Vance couldn’t keep it cool during the meeting, started shouting at the victim and then double down buy stopping the support.

    This is like yelling at a rape victim that its all their fault then threatening to let the rapist back into a locked room with them for a few hours.

    Its fucking disgusting, makes Trump look like a weak bully on the international stage.

    I really want to know what kind of mental gymnastics his base are playing to pretend they support this shit

  19. Respect is earned.

    During his campaign, he promised the rubes that America would be “respected again”.

    During his [inaugural speech](https://pg.usembassy.gov/president-trumps-inaugural-address/) he said America will “flourish and be respected”.

    During the last month, he has progressively been doing things; daily; to undermine that respect America did have.

    If the last month wasn’t enough, today’s grotesque spectical has pushed any respect I had for America into triple negative digits. I can’t speak for anyone else, but, good luck earning that respect again, rubes.

  20. If I was Taiwan I would be very nervous right now.

    Trump seems to think this is just another episode of The Apprentice. Does he realize that he is dealing with above the law killers, not Wallstreet attorneys?

  21. Every European state should immediately send a request to evacuate all US bases in their country. No one knows whether the USA are still our friend.

  22. The Ukraine gave up all atomic weapons in exchange for protections from the United Nations America signed that document.
    Donald Trump is a traitor to America and American Democratic ideas. He is compromat. Putin’s little orange parrot.

  23. Clearly this was all a set up to mock Zelensky and shut off all aid. From the get go, “Look he got all dressed up!” from Trump.

    Fuck Trump and all his cabinet members.

  24. Understanable as he didnt wear a suit.

    Fuck you trump, trumplets, and fuck you.

  25. When offered a safe exfil zelensky stayed with his people to fight. He is a goddamn hero and the way trump and Vance treated him today is a fucking disgrace. Trump you are a irredeemable piece of garbage and I wish you all the worst in the rest of your pathetic existence

  27. Horrible, Horrible person paid by the Russians. I used to love America, but since he took the office, I just don’t like it anymore. Almost hate it to be honest.

  28. Just to remind you folks this is little over a month after inauguration. We have almost 4 more years of this. God save us all

  29. It is absolutely incredible that Russia was able to invade and conquer the United States without ever putting boots on the ground.

  30. …as was the plan all along. Zelenskyy played this perfectly. I believe he knew the outcome was preordained and that they’d try to corner him in front of the press (and hey! TASS was there too! Shocking!). So, he remained calm, and even subtly baited Trump and his bell end Vance to melt down live and on camera. Zelenskyy’s true audience was his ACTUAL allies: the EU. He showed them in real time what I’m sure they suspected but didn’t want to believe: that America as it stands right now CANNOT be trusted or respected. I suspect Europe is going to quickly rearm themselves accordingly and wean themselves off of USA defense. Heck, maybe they’ll start to slow roll the expulsion of US bases off of the continent. By the time the Trump is done, the USA will find itself on geopolitical island by itself with a greatly diminished economy and global influence…just as Putin wanted. America putting Trump back into office will go down as one of the most disgraceful and disastrous own goals in world history. It’s just a shameful embarrassment to have these ghoulish, vile clowns in office (and their scat throwing, capitulating primate cohorts controlling the House and Senate). MAGA is a cancer killing the USA.

  31. It’s crazy to think that Russia just won the Cold War. They didn’t need nuclear weapons or to invade. They just needed to buyout our representatives.

  33. That’s not a shock. He told Zelensky to ‘stop fighting’. Trump is definitely a Russian asset.
