European leaders yesterday rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office.

#Zelensky is in London for a summit on Sunday will also include leaders from France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Finland, Sweden, Czechia and Romania, as well as the NATO secretary-general and the presidents of the European Commission and European Council.
BLOG: This debacle - an attempt at bullying on a national scale - confirms that Russia and the other fascist state - the United States - seek to carve up Ukraine. All democracies must reject this outrage. The US is not Europe’s ally, it is its enemy. Act now! https://www.jandehn.com/post/molotov-ribbentrop-pact-2-0
The best thing would be if the US withdrew from NATO. The US is no longer part of the free Western world; it is in the same category as Russia and other dictatorships. Furthermore, US international policy and behavior will most likely lead to war with China. Is the free world interested in that?
No...Trump is not forever and we need to hold him accountable....NATO is forever and we need to continue showing our commitment...US leaving NATO is what Putin dreams about.
Trump and his oligarchs are going to cause so much international damage that it will take many decades for the U.S. to recover. It is also not unlikely that he will serve a third term, perhaps even for life. Trump faces little to no internal opposition in the U.S. and does exactly as he pleases.
and all he had to say at the WH meeting with USA POTUS Donald Trump was "let's make a fair deal: the USA can start mining in my country and in return give militair support to us." but no he really fucked it up in the quadrant!no wonder he was kicked out of the White House...
US didn't offer anything but private corporations digging out value as payment for what Biden gave Ukraine.
That's not a deal. Zelensky did good. Europe step up.
The absolute arrogance of a draft dodger and a guy in eyeliner attempting to intimidate a guy who shrugs off missles and drone strikes on a daily basis is infuriating
Non-MAGA Americans vigorously oppose and apologize to the kind, decent, honorable President Zelenskyy, to Ukrainians and the world for Krasnov's and Eyeliner Guy's horrid, no-class, bullying behavior and sick, premeditated theatrics for an audience of one in the Kremlin.
Were it only for the abstract situation I'd ponder if it was theatrics to ramp up euro defence spending, justify to the MAGAs future support for Ukraine after "telling'em in their face" and for the Ukrainian public opinion justify concessions of natural resources. But they could be just incompetent
By a nearly unanimous decision, Trump has forfeited the title Leader Of The Free World.
Zelenskyy deserves that title more than Trump ever did. It's an entirely symbolic title. But using it to refer to Zelenskyy from now on would give Trump the comeuppance he deserves.
That title was given to Trump by his own #MAGAt supporters and doesn't mean Jack beyond those 4 walls. That guy is a demented disaster...the Emperor with no Clothes and his court Jester Vance. Both a Global embarrassment.
Using that title to refer to man in the oval office pre-dates Trump by several decades. Trump is just the first POTUS that's ever aligned himself with Russia, an enemy of the free world. Trump would sell out his own mother for the right price.
America no longer stands up for the Free World. Trump has forced us into an Axis Of Evil with Putin. WE are now the ENEMY. Time to arm up and defend the Free World against us!
Unbelievable that Trump and Vance behaved so rudely, and that some Republicans later said that Zelensky should apologise! There should certainly be an apology, but not from Zelenski! I am disappointed in the USA top leadership's failure to act like grown-ups.
Trump will never be the leader of the free world being a Nazi rapist and American means he's not eligible.... Macron now there's a president we can trust and the doesn't have his tongue stuck six inches up Putins ass.
Why thank Chump? Zelensky thanked the people who have supported his struggle to defend his nation from an invasion by Russia. Chump hasn’t done anything except maybe try to take credit for himself.
Russians? lol Trump is EXACTLY the US American the world expects him to be. That’s the behavior of North American and not Russian. Russians don’t go screaming on tv, that’s typical North American culture.
Not voting or voting independent led us to Trump and look where that got us. Not supporting Ukraine is supporting Putin. And in effect possibly world war 3. Great legacy for our grandchildren.
I think, as European its time to start looking for apple phone alternatives, to cancel Netflix subscription and to use Microsoft alternatives and much more.
Zelenskyy went to the WH knowing there’d be no deal on minerals, as Trump refused security guarantees, & only wants capitulation & profit. Like Macron & Starmer, he went anyway to show they pursued a diplomatic solution. Still, Trump’s propaganda machine will spin everything to fit his narrative.
Yes we do. Evidence shows he w/muskrats help rigged the election.
We the people do not stand behind these ass wipes. Pres. Z, couldn't have handled himself better. Perfect example of a distinguished gentleman. He should have punched dumpster in the nose & kicked dunce in the nuts
Thank you, Politico, for publishing this piece with this lead-in. It would prudent for your company to understand the stakes, even for you, of the #Trump Admin. When TASS has more priviliges in the White House than AP or Reuters, you are next in the list.

But that wasn't their plan...
WE ARE RUSSIAN ASSETS YES WE ARE
HOW ABOUT YOU
GO RUSSIA
#Trump and #JDVance have disgraced themselves and the country they claim to represent.
#Zelensky is now the Leader Of The Free World.
Zelenskyy deserves that title more than Trump ever did. It's an entirely symbolic title. But using it to refer to Zelenskyy from now on would give Trump the comeuppance he deserves.

Don't put your trust in any country or leader. Put your trust in #God only.
I pray that you may be led to Jesus, who is the only source of salvation.
Amen.
You’re not grateful enough.
Why don’t you dress Sexy?
The US Lost a very good deal with rare minerals that now will go to France.

What an abyss for human values.
Let us hope that American citizens will succeed in recovering and preserving their endangered democratic institutions.
The EU of 27 must wake up and unite on all existential issues.
