Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
-
Yes it is because keeping Ukraine out of Putin's hands is essential to Western prosperity. Do you understand Ukraine's role in global wheat production? Do you understand the value of naval ports in the Black Sea? Do you understand the danger of having a Russian border even further in Europe and NATO? Plus, do you think you're going to see any of the savings? The maybe 1.5% of the federal budget that went to Ukraine...so if you miraculously got those $20 of your federal income tax back, they are gonna turn your life around?

Supposedly it’s live, so it would’ve been over. Also, TVs famously have no links

Zelenskyj had every right to question Vance the way he did, but it wasn't the right time to do so if he wanted their respect.
It was disrespectful. It hurts me to concede this point. I didn't want it to be true but I had to see the cause for the fight to break out, and I hate to admit that it was Zelenskyj who put Vance on the spot in front of everyone like he was on trial, and put him to shame. That's not something you want to do when you're trying to make a deal for your people.
Zelenskyj has too much of a backbone, unfortunately. Respect to him, for standing up against bullshit, but it was definitely a case of picking your battles.

Fuck off Ivan

Yup. And when Russia invaded Ukraine, everyone called him a Russian puppet because of course America would never!

OTOH, it's possible he's consciously splitting with the US in hopes of getting the EU with him. Long term, could be smart.

That sucks and permabans really shouldn't be a thing except in extreme causes of threatening to like harm/dox some one and stuff like that. Not seeing where you did anything to get banned at all, but especially not permabanned.
If Lemmy just ends up being another reddit that's going to suck so bad.

I would say they are more like ringwraiths - twisted shadows of men bound to a larger evil, Putin.

Ah cheers, misread that!

And his most heroic act was not punching the old fart in the teeth

If the Europe had any sense of self respect the US embassies would be closing everywhere right now just like the russian ones.

Perfect response, enjoy your fall of Rome era.

So true.
The democrats would rather have trump than Bernie.

Think it was this video:
Looks like the comments are slightly more sane now than they were when I first saw it, which is good.

I imagine it would be quite cathartic
