  1. Imagine you’re attacked by a bear; you’re going to keep fighting off the bear until you’re either dead or the bear gives up and wanders off.

    Now imagine a park ranger shows up with a gun and says “Hey there buddy, I can help get that bear off you, but let’s be honest – he’s already gnawing on your arm pretty good there. I think if you let him have your arm he’ll be satisfied and you two can go your separate ways!”

    You’d consider the proposition, given this could save the rest of your body, and ask if the park ranger would help you and shoot the bear if it didn’t give up trying to eat just your arm – especially now that you’re just down to one arm to fend it off.

    “I’m not getting into giving you any guarantees here, and quite frankly I don’t think you’ve been thankful enough for everything I’m doing for you. I’m starting to think you want excuses to fight the bear. Oh also btw you got any cash in your wallet? I need to be paid handsomely for all I’m doing here.”

  2. Europeans have to wake up. No one could believe ruzzia will invade Ukraine, it was unbelievable and unimaginable but we have been living in this reality for 3 years already and there are still people that did not realise the world peace system died 3 years ago.

    We will be lucky if USA in this case just became isolationist and won’t cooperate with russia.

  3. Imagine you have as an invaded nation an ‘ally’ that calls privately with a dictator which the ‘ally’ sees as a friend, acknowledges that publicly during a media spectacle and still sees himself as the right person to do the negotiations and pretends to have a peace plan (which are basically the demands of that dictator friend) .

    Even for a political comedy this is absurd

  4. My President Steinmeier was in charge when it came to Germany’s dependence on Russian gas. Everyone warned him about it and he never wanted to listen. Thank you Steinmeier, Schwesig and Schröder.

  5. Then ,wake up Germany and send Taurus missiles to Ukraine 🇺🇦

  6. WW2 again US west russia east with US sending pallets with uncle Vlad written on them.

  7. Ukraine will unfortunately pay the heaviest price of all for this madness. They are very resilient, but they have been betrayed right before everyone’s eyes

  8. Supremely corrupted supreme Court and corrupt Republican Congress while vichey Dems worry about their insider trading. I do fear it is over . Welcome to the mafia state of trumplandia. Europe has to grow up and defend itself and it’s values if they can.

  9. The USA is being turned into Russia’s newest territory

  10. You saw with Zelensky how Ukrainians deal with Russian snipers: You smoke them out! It was a difficult but important step toward Victory Ukraine Day (VU Day) to expose these enemies of Ukraine who are trying to camouflage themselves as neutral deal makers, pretending that Trump will give support or security guarantees if Ukraine would concede to Putin. Trump has exposed his poker hand.

  11. The EU needs to gear up to end this war very quickly, before trump can meddle and help out his good pals in russia

  12. So wake the fk up EU. Step your game up, increase your domestic weapon production industry and show US that we aren’t just scared mofos that they can theow around like candy ffs

  13. Wait, Steinmeier came out to say that? I was out of the house today and shit is really hitting the fan.

    While the president put down his party membership when he became president, he is still closely associated with the SPD, the party that is expected to form a coalition with Merz’ CDU soon. The SPD is not really unified about helping Ukraine but tends to be more “careful” careful about it, which means that they are not really for it. A message like this may signal a change within the SPD or may be his call for such a change to happen.

    This would significantly affect coalition talks between SPD and CDU and the resulting stance of Germany when it comes to Ukraine.

    This is a much bigger thing than it may appear to people not following German politics.

  14. It’s still Ukraine vs Russia. The US was bought by Russia and is just their puppet government doing their bidding now. They are not an ally.

  15. No surprise here. The US voted for a criminal. What did they expect?

    Trump wants to turn the US into Russia so he can rule it forever.

  16. As an American, I was aghast that Trump and Vance played playground bullies, teeming up on President Zelensky. I am ashamed of what has become of the US government. It’s a sad day in American history. Their behavior is abhorrent and deplorable.

  17. Day 40 of President Trumps one day peace plan.

    (This is inspired by the Russian claims of a 3 day war that is now well over a thousand days old. Help me to remind the Trump administration of their failure to get peace for Ukraine by posting how many days have passed since Trump’s inauguration and his boasting of being able to bring peace in one day.)

  18. Any people who were alive during Trump’s previous term shouldn’t be surprised about the current state of the US

  19. Please. We need stronger statements here. Clearly NATO is cow’d
