My President is a Russian assest and all I got was this stupid red hat!&nbsp;<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ruthbenghiat.bsky.social/post/3ljayzyl3wk2l">https://bsky.app/profile/ruthbenghiat.bsky.social/post/3ljayzyl3wk2l</a></p>

^so weird. I mean between all the CA bashing, Greenland occupation trolling of Denmak, Panama extortion, fighting with Federal workers, beating up on anything or anyone gay/non-christian, muslim and palestinian ethoclensing, Zelensky Ukraine backstabbing, NATO threatening, EU attacks - it's almost like the one common thing is Trump. So unexpected.

How many people can you really effectively make enemies of and still have even rudimentary business / relations conducted? No less fight all fronts at all times.

This is the guy who picked a fight with the Jesuit Pope last time and sicc'd a goon squad on a preacher who dared mention mercy as Jesus's teachings.

Fuckt hat orange shit stain. Such a baby !I have read Chris Voss's book and he references the rapist in his book as being a shitty negotiator.Today proved the point to a T. No empathy in that man. All chest puffing no one in the end wants to deal with him. Petty prick !https://www.instagram.com/thefbinego...l/DCdEtkvpcUp/

JD Vance, "You have no men left in your country"

Zelensky. "Come and see!"

Vance mistook Ukraine for Congress. Ukraine might be outmanned, but they are not outmatched

The administration has not been compromised by the Russians. It is merely taking consistent actions that are completely and totally indistinguishable from what an administration would do if it had in fact been compromised by the Russians.

Please post a decent link to that story, all I see is bullshit.


You guys will agree with me when Zelensky is impeached by his own, or worse.

[The AD]

No, Cono, we absolutely won't agree with you. Your position is fucked.

[MultiVerse]

Zelensky went on Fox News and explained his position: "I respect my soldiers and our people, our civilians who work and support our warriors. I can't say 'just stop.' Nobody will stop because everybody afraid that Putin will come back tomorrow. We want just and lasting peace."

Zelensky remains popular in Ukraine. His approval rating is above 60-percent

Zelensky has already survived more than a dozen assassination attempts by Russia. Including a fell fledged assault by Russian Spetsnaz (Russian special forces) on his presidential residence

Zelensky has balls of steel. He knows what the stakes are, including the fact that he might be killed fighting for his country

[TBS]

I think @Peruvians photos upthread depict the situation quite well.
Trump and Vance brought Zelenskyy in to humiliate him/Ukraine on the world stage and especially in Russia. Show Putin and the Russian public what a tough guy and shrewd negotiator he is. That is why Russki media was invited.

And now he’s got nothing but shit in his pants. Putin is laughing. Xi is likely scheming to work out a deal for access to Ukraine resources. The rest of the world is saying “what the fuck is wrong with that guy? He can’t be trusted.”

[Cono Este]

He could have shut up, waited 15 minutes, signed the deal. His choice.

Letting him bargain with the full force and weight of the us military behind him is not realistic, cause he never had that.

[MultiVerse]

Cono doesn't understand what happened. The American people, include large numbers of Republicans, do not like Trump/Vance pro-Putin policies. So Vance set this contemptible ambush up as a pretext to engineer Trump's about-face. Vance is a Russian propagandist

[jono]

I thought Cono was talking about Trump. Still seems pretty likely.

[Bunion 2020]

He could have shut up, waited 15 minutes, signed the deal. His choice.

Yeah and Zelensky could have gotten on his knees and sucked Trumps little mushroom penis. Fuck you and everything you claim to stand for.

“But as with the war, Mr. Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?” — WSJ editorial

Just look at how history has treated Neville Chamberlain.

I am sorry what is meant by this? Neville Chamberlain was an appeaser who did not read the room right and sold out Europe.

Trump ran on the same fear mongering playbook Reagan did. Where we are now with the GOP is Ronnies doing. He laid the groundwork.

[Cisco Kid]

Trump is appeasing to Putin ala Chamberlin. Putin is the donalds love interest as he has said many, many times.

[Cisco Kid]

Zelensky visited PA for Joe and thanked the American people. Trump never forgets and always get's even. Z didn't thank donnie? Maybe yes maybe no but donnie hasn't heard it. the donald needs to be thanked in public and on bended knee. Nothing new if you look back at his lifetime MO

Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy, Tom Nichols writes: https://theatln.tc/QDkTeUMg

The Oval Office meeting today between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” Nichols continues, “with Trump unloading Russian talking points on Zelensky (such as blaming Ukraine for risking global war), all of it designed to humiliate the Ukrainian leader on national television and give Trump the pretext to do what he has indicated repeatedly he wants to do: side with Russian President Vladimir Putin and bring the war to an end on Russia’s terms. Trump is now reportedly considering the immediate end of all military aid to Ukraine because of Zelensky’s supposed intransigence during the meeting.”

“Vance’s presence at the White House also suggests that the meeting was a setup,” Nichols adds. “The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.”

“Today’s meeting and America’s shameful vote in the United Nations on Monday confirmed that the United States is now aligned with Russia and against Ukraine, Europe, and most of the planet. I felt physically sick watching the president of the United States yell at a brave ally, fulminating in the Oval Office as if he were an addled old man shaking his fist at a television. Zelensky has endured tragedies, and risked his life, in ways that men such as Trump and Vance cannot imagine,” Nichols continues. “But no matter how disgusted anyone might be at Trump and Vance’s behavior, the strategic reality is that this meeting is a catastrophe for the United States and the free world.”

A grim silver lining, but there can be no doubt that the USA is a menace on the world stage anymore. No more - 'well, at least we do X and are for Y'. I mean, side with Putin... cut aid to Africa.. threaten sovereign nations with occupation and annexation ... impose economic policies to crush long standing allies.

Willing to hear a reasoned response in how we're on the right side of anything anymore.

[::: :::]

Just embarrassing that this is who represents us on the world stage…

[ex-powderbroker]

Trump loves these ambush meetings. Totally preplanned. The rest of the world needs to shut out the USA until adults are back in charge, but maybe after as well.

[whitekingsalmon]

Fuck trump and fuck Russian. Only cool thing about Russia is the women.
