The game plan now will be to shift attention away from America withdrawing support from Ukraine by framing it as being about Zelensky disrespecting the US

This was exactly their plan to garner support for backing Putin instead of Zelensky. They planned for this to be the outcome and will now go on a press blitz to try to oust Zelensky and carve up Ukraine for Putin and Trump.
I’m afraid you’re correct. It’s insane, and I feel no responsibility to try to convince MAGA folks to feel differently, since they’re so impervious to empirical facts and despite being slavish devotees, cosplay being “independent thinkers.”
They were banking on him saying no to the minerals deal so they could blame their withdrawal on that. When he said yes they had to find a way to tank it and blame it on him
This is standard tactics for narcissists. Enraging people who then are called the cause of the problems.
It’s in the textbooks about narcissists. I was married to one.
Marg's fuckbuddy trying to imply Zylenskyy was disrespectfully dressed backfired on him big time with Zylenskyy's reply ending in "I'll be wearing a suit better than yours"
he said " ill be wearing a COSTUME better than yours" which is better, since it points out the man asking the question is merely cosplaying as a journalist
So, clearly a set up today. Do you think the pretext was to generate an incident that would justify pulling all aid or they wanted to humiliate Z, he didn’t play along and now they are impromptu going to abandon Ukraine.
They want Zelensky out as President - ‘We can’t do business with this disrespectful man’ - and it just so happens that’s exactly what Russia wants, too.
This is the easiest way out, last week the ruzzians refused to accept any ceasefire that is not total capitulation. Instead of using their famous negotiations skills, they just left Ukraine to bleed dry.

A few years ago in his book “A Promised Land”,
former President Obama once compared
Graham to a character in a spy movie “who double-crosses everyone to save his own skin.”
They’re used to submission by humiliation, and they’re callous in that pursuit. This was very predictable.
They pressured him into coming this Friday to sign something without taking his demands for security guarantees seriously. They promised him they would, once he signed. He saw through it.
Speaking of people that need to resign… he should look in a mirror. Zelenskyy did nothing wrong. He is trying to protect his country, as a real leader should.
It does not decide him. We have chosen Zelensky and we will decide whom to choose the next. And now we are proud of our president. Of all those present in the oval office, only he has a spine and courage.
Graham is helping to establish the narrative that Ukraine doesn’t deserve US support so when Trump stops all assistance, (probably within the next hour at the pace he’s been going) the public will be supportive if it
When I saw that exchange, it wasn’t *Zelenskyy* that I wanted to see resign. 🤨
To get respect… one must *earn* it and the American politicians in that room were absolutely shameful! History will not be kind to this money hoarding, Putin-pandering crime syndicate of an administration!
No. Lindsey Graham should resign. The whole thing was a travesty and Trump, Vance and Graham are disgraceful. We are on Russia’s side now??? Not me, and I would venture to say that most Americans stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦.
The biggest problem that I see with this is that they aren't doing business. Ukraine is their country.
Bad faith business is not business and it is not diplomacy.
I think that was the plan all along. Rile him so much that he lost his rag, argued back etc and then Trump saying I can’t work with him get me someone else to deal with. All for Pootin
They expect everyone to be like them. Let Trump bully and abuse them, but they all still kiss his ass. As a strong supporter of Ukraine since day 1, they all make me sick.
This was a set up in the office by the Russian asset who sits in the Oval Office . Vance is lower than dirt . He will never be anything else .
Europe please help the Ukraine . America is a failing country going down hill everyday . Can we save our democracy?
"Much was learned" all right. Americans are now very clear on where trump's loyalties lie. And the world is clear that America can't be trusted as an ally.
I personally feel more disrespected by the Oval Office meeting that was overseen by an unelected oligarch who proposes to determine whether starving infants deserve to live or to die of hunger and preventable diseases-- all while his kid rubbed boogers all over the Resolute Desk.
That was the most despicable thing I’ve ever personally witnessed a head of state of America doing. I pray to Christ, ppl wake up immediately to what a danger Trump, Vance, the enabling gop are

This is worse than "The Godfather".

This was nothing more than an attempted rope-a-dope and Zelensky did better than I could have in NOT telling Trump and Vance to go fuck themselves.
