European leaders throw support behind Zelenskyy after heated Trump meeting
-
European here. Sorry America, but you're going to have to step up and remove your corrupt leaders I think. And I'll be happy when you do.
I'm getting a bit pissed off with this type of message.
- We already have been leading. Funds and weapons have been relatively free flowing from European nations. Getting anything out of the US has been like pulling teeth even under Biden.
- We know a shit ton of burden has fallen on us because a nation we considered a friend has turned traitor. You're not telling us anything new.
- As a US citizen you can't wash your hands of the fact that your leadership is corrupt. "Oh, sorry!". Their your collective responsibility. You all put them there. Only you can replace them. Get off your arse and organise.
-
Thoughts and prayers?
How about organising to recall your Republican Congress members for failing to perform their constitutional duty?
-
I do hope that Trump is the galvanizing force that pushes the people of the EU (and perhaps others) towards Ukraine support, as well as everything else Trump and the right hate
Why do you think that the EU and others haven't been supporting Ukraine? They have.
-
Hungary's Orban stands alone with Trump, as Europe unites behind Ukraine.
-
Wdym "soon". They've been visible for a while now.
-
Where did I say that's all someone should do, or all that I did?
-
Are they going to send European weapons, or will they buy American weapons and send them to Ukraine?
-
He's actually went and said that?! Where?
-
I don't think the right-leaning EU citizens recognise this as a problem with the right. It's too easy to say this is "an America specific problem" and "We'd never vote in a dumbass such as Trump."
I honestly think this kind of learning will happen here absolutely not at all.

Each will send their old or excess stock, or newly manufacturer weapons.
Some of the old stock may include weapons bought from the US previously, but it's very unlikely Europeans will be buying new weapons and supplies from US to give to Ukraine. France, Germany Italy, Spain and the UK all have significant arms manufacturing ability and have ability to scale up quickly. (Reference)
Many European leaders (including business leaders) are extremely reticent to enter into new supply deals of any kind with the US given the recent trade volatility.
-
Weak, untrustworthy, and difficult to even be allies with.
There are very few, if any, world leaders who acted as unhinged as dumb and dumber did.
-
That'll trap vulnerable people in the States, potentially to be lynched. Much as I would love to support a blanket, don't allow crazy out of crazytown, there's sane people trapped there that should be allowed to flee.
-
But I couldn't tell if they were legitimately trying to blow up diplomatic relations like they did, or if they thought they were going to get the upper hand in exploring Ukraine for their natural resources.
It was a show for Putin. A test of loyalty.
Just look at how they spoke of Putin as if he was reasonable and had reason to be upset with Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, they treated Zelenskyy as if he was the problem.
Trump still denies calling Zelenskyy a dictator... From a few days prior.

In a way jt is fascinating to watch the US goverment dismantle their empire on fast forward. With this single "conversation" they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.
Wonder if some hardliners from CIA or such will decide to sort out this threat to their power, or will they just accept going down.
-
It's always the same thing, a state that used to work "together" with russia no longer want's to be a slave to russia and work with other countries.
Russia doesn't want that, so they attack.
It happened to Georgia before it happened to Ukraine.
-
Wouldn't "mount support" instead of "throw" have been a better choice of words?
Writing style aside, I hope Europe gets together and pushes the Ruzzians out of Ukraine. -
Deep state is having a nap I guess.
I don't mean that facetiously, honestly surprised the CIA is just chill with everything.
-
I'm hoping Ukr gets an EU membership out of this at the minimum. They're going to be blocked from NATO by US and Turkeye
-
I canāt find it right now, but there was actually an interview where someone asked Donald Trump about the Russian invasion of the Crimea area and he didnāt know how to respond & came off sounding like a complete dickhead ļæ¼

Did I imply that? EU has done more than the US on this issue, but to galvanize in this context means to excite or stimulate. After 3 years it's rather easy to grow complacent, and scenes like this remind people to remain pissed off.
