I strongly believe Zelenskyy came off as the winner, because he didn’t back down to these petty bullies.

This is all about Trump. Let no one detract from that. The buck of history stops with him.

He did the right thing. Unfortunately you can’t say that for Macron. This didn’t age well.

The WSJ editorial board helped elect Trump.

pgourevitch.bsky.social•9 hours ago

which is exactly why it’s notable that they are not in his amen corner here — but on the contrary, saying: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

mattgreenfield.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Completely agree. I just wish they had come around when it wasn’t too late.

meh333.bsky.social•53 minutes ago

This article SUCKS! It’s great tv like a plane crash is. Zelensky would’ve been unwise to grovel to lying knaves. He should not have allowed lies about his country to be broadcast to the world. The interests of USA and Trump are not the same! Trump doesn’t want to walk away, he wants to extort.

meh333.bsky.social•53 minutes ago

Trump will pressure Putin in due time!? HELSINKI, you dumb mfers. If Trump won in 2020 he perhaps could’ve prevented the war!? You dumb mfers. Only Trump, Russia, and ppl who get off on fetid stenches think this is GREAT TELEVISION.

I was very offended by Vance’s aggression in his body language,too. He purposely attacked Zelenskyy both with his sharp pointing & hand gestures that were totally unnecessary.

Was this whole tantrum, by two man-babies, orchestrated by Putin?

timothywojan.bsky.social•1 hour ago

So WSJ is just now starting to get it. I thought Trump was supposed to be too unfocused to do any real damage. Wasn't that the reason WSJ endorsed him?

oldbutnotdeadyet.bsky.social•1 hour ago

WSJ endorsed Trump because Rupert wanted Trump to win, same as 2016 and 2020. Rupert is now leaving, and his kids are fighting over the spoils. Some of Rupert's kids do NOT want the hard right coverage like their father. Good for them.

1gregtodd.bsky.social•1 hour ago

This all goes back to 2019 and the cause of Donald Trump’s first impeachment. Trump illegally withheld military aid to Ukraine approved by Congress because Zelenskyy declined Trump’s illegal demand that Zelenskyy lie and publicly announce that he is investigating President Biden

plunderdog903.bsky.social•5 minutes ago

Trump is fucking stupid, is a Russian assett and is more than likely being blackmailed by Putin. Vance is a true believer. Watch out for Vance in the future.

Trump may be following Russian orders but Vance follows Thiel's orders, a guy motivated only by its own ambitions. That is, destroying democracy.

This isn’t about Zelensky. He is a hero. He is fighting everyday to save his people and get kidnapped children returned. Can you imagine what the Russians are doing with these kids? MAGA is a Sickening betrayal of American values. We will never be the same.

earthfan.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Zelensky was brave. He likely knew he had a snowballs chance in hell of getting a rational response from Trump. But Zelensky took over the framing of the event. Trump weak, irrational following Putin’s orders. The compromise of the US government is now established. Avoid the US if possible.

Trump needs to go ! What a disgrace to America

chanler.ch•4 hours ago

Let’s not forget this was kicked off by an obviously pre-positioned question from one of Trumps goons about why Zelenskyy was disrespectfully not wearing a suit to meet Trump. Followed by JD Vance’s clearly scripted attack. Zelenskyy was set up & insulted from the moment he arrived. Shocking.

Honest answer is that the number of American people who don’t care outnumber the number of those who do.

I have dropped someone from my life who is so disengaged from this that all she could muster to say was that it is awful people are being fired. She fancies herself "no political" and tells me not to worry so much. I have no energy to give her anymore

oldbutnotdeadyet.bsky.social•1 hour ago

True, but that number changes with every single embarrassement like this Zelenskyy thing.

rouxblanche.bsky.social•56 minutes ago

Unfortunately, no. The majority needs to be affected directly by Trump & the GOP directly to do something. A foreign war? They don’t care.

oldbutnotdeadyet.bsky.social•50 minutes ago

They did care during WW2...

millieto2.bsky.social•41 minutes ago

Only when forced to. The US sat it out until they could no longer ignore it. But Americans had to die first.

tententsrecs.bsky.social•47 minutes ago

And only jumped in when it affected us directly (Pearl Harbor).

Trump is in way over his head. Why is he so obsessed with "deals?" Would he have bene trying to make a deal with the Nazis during WWII? Probably!

zigsandzags.bsky.social•9 hours ago

He did "write" a book about the "art" of them, you know. Literally everything about him has been and is transactional.

morticia.mom•9 hours ago

He didn't even write it. He's too dumb to do that. Had a ghost writer.

greenwolf56.bsky.social•1 hour ago

The Trump administration should be investigated for sedition & treason. The President and Vice president are both incompetent and unqualified to hold office under the US constitution. They are both traitors. They have weakened the US government from within and provided aid & comfort to our enemies.

jdcshaverford.bsky.social•1 hour ago

The last paragraph states that Mr Trump does not want to be known as the president who abandoned Ukraine to Putin.

I do not agree with that premise.

mhwriter2024.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I feel like I have to text my Ukrainian friends (from a US job 10 years ago) and apologize for Friday. We should be so much better than this feckless scourging.

sumoh7.bsky.social•9 hours ago

BTW, My husband and I said the same thing. The only winner in that spectacular failure of 47 - the felon - is indeed Putin.

Now, Zelenskyy can turn this to an advantage, however. EU can step up now that USA has let go of the mantle.
