The world has just witnessed Putin as the grand puppet master working the strings allowing Trump and Vance to flap their jaws. Major despicable display of Mobster-Imperialist power politics. Meanwhile: Trump on WWIII? 5 ex-Secretaries of Defense warn re: Trump-Hegseth damage to US Military!!!
It looked like a setup. JDV launched provocation. Krasnov got to look powerful. Yet, it was disrespectful not only to Zelensky and Ukraine, but also to humanity in general.
The meeting was a setup. Absolutely no doubt. But they didn't know who they were dealing with. Zelensky had nothing to lose by taking off the gloves and pummeling Trump in front of the whole world.
Trump/Vance wanted Zelensky on his knees at their feet, but Zelensky is a true leader and is standing up for his country and people. Trump's bullying tactics were never going to work on Zelensky, and I applaud him for walking out.
And itβs not over. They wait for a self made crisis to overturn the constitution. They do everything Hitler did when he grabbed the power. Installing puppets all over the institutions. Wait for it.
I think this happened because the #OrangeClown tried to force Zelensky to sign a deal without any security guarantees. No promises to help Ukraine at all. When Zelensky refused, that's probably when trump got upset because he did not get to sign the deal he wanted so bad.
If it is the one with the flags and the soldiers you are talking about, I just thought it was cool. I was trying to get an image for a story and knew that is not the right one.
Certainly not mine, but I am sitting here on the other side of the ocean seeing your idiot president destroying our world. What are you gonna do about that?
If Trump and Vance set it up and they got what they wanted then America is in the sh*t. T & D are going to destroy democratic America and create an autocracy aligned with Putin. How many Americans voted for that - I guess not so many as voted for Trump.
It was. It's all propaganda theater as directed by Putin. Those of us in the US who have figured this out long ago have been like the scientists in disaster movies. No one listens.
Trump knows Putin won't agree to a ceasefire with EU troops in Ukraine. Trump loses his Nobel Peace Prize (hah!) and wants to shift the blame to Zelensky. Predictable.
Denmark has stood as a kingdom for over a thousand fucking years. We've been bombed, broken, and humiliated, but here we areβstill standing. Not because someone held our hand, but because weβre fucking Europeans.
The UK only finished paying the US back for all their WWII "aid" in 2015. They charged us for every single thing they shipped to the UK that we used to liberate Europe.
We are not vassals. We are the fucking fathers and mothers of the modern world. We were doing democracy when others were still figuring out how not to burn their own villages down.
We pioneered industrialization. Hell, we conquered half the planet just because we fancied a bit of exotic spice and rum.
We helped give birth to that so-called 'land of the free,β and weβre not about to take disrespect from a leader of a country thatβs younger than my local pub.
Everyone worldwide should ignore the US until we fix this. (We know what needs to be done, just trying to figure out logistics.) This was an embarrassment and proof to any American with any common sense that we are now Russian stooges. The world deserves better from us.
Yes, Zelenskyy exposed Trump for the basic thug that he is. Now we can only hope that Trump dies soon so we can start cleaning up this mess. Ukraine is now free to take down Musk.
Trump is pissed because he promised peace in 24 hours and the plan was to force Ukraine into a deal and give everything to Russia. And he failed. Why? Because Zelensky feels the support from Europe and other democratic countries. Never ever believe that your support is not important. It is.
Yep, Russia upped its demands, the Europeans made angry noises, any agreement would not go through or make America look weak, so someone was needed to blame. That was whatβs happened. Disgusting
Why is no one ever mentioning Budapest memorandum? USA is responsible that Ukraine doesnβt have nukes anymore. They guaranteed their security. Why should Zelenskyy beg for this now. Fuck Trump and fuck all his ugly bootlickers. Disgusting scum.
Yup. At my house we were just talking about this! We made them surrender the nukes AND guaranteed their security, so the US has stabbed them in the back several times now
Z did the best thing possible for Ukraine here. Show the world just how pathetic this administration is and prove they are no longer an ally of Europe.
This will backfire on Trump and Vance. Theyβre fucking mob boss bullies and Zelenskyy should tell them to shove it up their ass.
This American apologizes for their disgusting disrespect.
100% planned. Trump and Putin want to pressure Zel. out of the picture and to feel he has to quit,they want a weaker leader in Ukraine that they can force to sign off on a very bad deal and capitulate to all of Russia's demands.They hate Zelensky as he's a man of principle. Thats alien to them.
Why didnβt he switch to Ukraine and force them to listen because they need to listen to a translator. What a disgraceful behavior by the us administration.
Of course it was planned ahead. There was no reason for a vice president to speak in that event - when does he ever speak in similar events? Did he speak when Macron or Starmer were sitting with Trump earlier this week?
It is obvious that Vance intended to pick a fight and blow up the meeting.
I agree!Trump was not allowed to sign, tried to cancel Zelenskyy visit 2 days ago. So he turned this show on.Vance, who never speaks, started it. Then they bullied the rest of the time. It was payback too.Why else would Trump bring up Hunter. He couldn't bribe Zelenskyy so he hates him. Trump style.
it was a set up. Trump was not happy after Zelensky scoffed at Bessents delivery last week and at Vance in Munich. When Vance mentioned Zelensky trip to US during Harris campaign, it was clear. This was payback, publicly to look strong. Im sure his core support ate it up. Internationally- backfired

It isn't anymore.
It's now 85% in European ETFs and stocks.

Would not surprise me.
Russia doesnot want peace.
Putin is pulling the strings.
Step 2 : cut all weapons and money
Step 3 : withdraw from nato
Step 4 : get a pat on the head from daddy putin
And trump would be hella fucking dumb to stop sale too, since he already said he would cut defense spending by 50%
He gotta give some to the MIC, or they have power to change shit around... know what I mean.
Yeah... its not like trump cares what the law says.
who gonna stop him? the courts? the slowly boiled frogs?

The two of them probably rehearsed the skit with Putin on a Zoom call
Yes, it will hurt us too but europeans are here for 2+k years.
Denmark has stood as a kingdom for over a thousand fucking years. We've been bombed, broken, and humiliated, but here we areβstill standing. Not because someone held our hand, but because weβre fucking Europeans.

And I'm pretty sure Android is open source anyway π
That was a disgusting display. We are now a threat to the safety and security of the world. Isolate us in every way possible.
I am beyond ashamed to be an American.
:( American here who supports Zelenskyy and Ukraine
Russia First and US weak as never.
This American apologizes for their disgusting disrespect.
Ukraine will not tolerate disrespect and lies.
It is obvious that Vance intended to pick a fight and blow up the meeting.
They just showed their true faces, it wasn't a show
The biggest threat for a WW3 is the US standing by while Russia invades the EU/Ukraine.
It's always taken one superpower to hold off the other. Trump is a fool if he thinks that has changed.
Shutdown or nationalize the factories it has in Europe.
Make Trump and his supporters feel the pain.
