Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting
-
Let's remember that there good people there too. Let's remember that these scumbags, whichever country they run, rely on our sweat, tears and blood to move forward with their decisions. While not all of us are good, obviously, I want to believe that many Americans were tricked by media to think Trump was a valid choice. What we need to understand it's that this is a us people versus them rulers. If only we would understand this together and stop fighting each other...
-
As an American. Agreed
-
I may have a bit of a rose-colored view of the US, or at least its potential to have its conscience pricked by the notion that tomorrow can be freer than today, but if we don't care about that anymore, then whatever it was that made America a more palatable hegemon than the USSR or China is gone. The USA is just another transactional actor, and not even a particularly reliable one. At this point, Trump has literally threatened more individual souls with annexation than China has.

Libya and Ukraine convey the same warning to non NATO states. Have nukes or perish.
-
Ukraine should just build nukes, test one of them and then say to Russia "Get out, or the next one is landing on Moscow".
-
Imagine being Zelensky and having to fly some some rando country to beg for help from a Nazi asshole to end the invasion from another Nazi asshole. And if you were to die, one of the two assholes would win?
Zelensky, if you need my help personally, just ask. I have a wheelbarrow so we can carry your balls. Trump would love it if his genitalia could weigh down a party balloon.
-
I can just picture the cheeto bastard jumping up and down and kicking going "Because I said so or we're not friends anymore!"
I'm sure he'll (have a ghostwriter) detail it in his next memoir entitled "Wahh"
-
Finally an ethical use for generated images!
-
Hoooly crap he's basically just flat out demanding "KISS THE RING."
And they're dressing down an embattled wartime leader of a sovereign nation like they're friggin' Jeff the GameStop Manager telling you "You should feel privileged that we even gave you a job."
-
I mean, that counts for Russia as well, but until recently you couldn't say anything like this without getting attacked
-
Wow. The Onion is either gonna go out of business or start printing fake feel-good news about how sarcastically everything is "just fine."
-
It honestly felt like watching a rational adult deal with his children complaining they can’t have a sleepover or something.
Except the children's behavior will also get a lot of people killed and possibly a whole nation enslaved.
-
This guy does (he was there too, sitting next to vance, btw)
-
rely on our sweat, tears and blood to move forward with their decisions
Agreed, so stop giving it to them. When I see Americans bring the country to a screeching halt through protest, disobedience, and strikes will I believe in the good people there.

Starmer's visit was pointless
Zelensky's visit was pointlessstop trying to appeal to the better nature of monsters.
Close the book on US/EU relations, NATO is dead. America is controlled by the Russian Mafia now.
Europe, prepare for war.
America, prepare for the dominion of Fasicsm, and civil war -
The media outlets most likely to do that (AP & Reuters) are no longer allowed in the room for these kinds of things.
-
That's very much how I read it. "Be grateful you got what you got, and if you don't kiss my ass and give me a big payment, I'm leaving you and your people to rot. I'm fine either way."
Every day I think it's going to be hard to make me be more ashamed of my country, but they do it with such ease.
Zelensky took it like a champ though, and I got to watch much of the video after my original comment, and while Vance was trashing him for not saying thank you nicely enough, when he mentioned the brave people of Ukraine, that was when Zelensky said thank you again as he was being talked over.

"They didn't know"^TM^
