Look, obviously my emotional reaction to that press conference is to punch a wall so hard either it or my knuckles break.
But let put that on hold for a moment and ask, very dispassionately and calmly:
What American national interest objective or foreign policy goal was served by that shit-show?

Assuming you care only about America First.
Assuming you are a sociopath playing no-limit HOLD'EM REAL POLITIK.
What's the rationale?
How did that horror-show advance your agenda?
Explain it to me.
For anyone who thinks this is 4D chess: Kissinger wouldn’t prop up the Russians or seek fights with close allies
But Russian Stare Media was there, and there is this:

I'm not here to change your mind, you get to set your own course.
But please, I'm begging you, on your own terms and given your own values, explain to me how what you just saw helps?
Well, this wasn't your corner, and if he won at all it certainly wasn't for you.
Trump winds Ukraine up enough that he can justify cutting some money off. Europe steps in and US support continues to tail off.
We're not going to fund dying with honor or start WW3.
Its not great is it?
The disciples now have an ungrateful foreigner to blame all their problems on.
Won't it be natural to punish the "ungrateful foreigner" and readmit the "misunderstood" other lot - which will be profitable...
May the UK never be cursed with leaders as truly awful as Trump and Vance.
Johnson and his handpicked team caused damage that will take decades to recover - if ever.
To split on which was worst is immaterial.
I hope the US can take steps to recover in ‘22 and ‘24.
Unfortunately the UK was sorely damaged in ‘20 and so far shows no significant repair to the damage.
Sorry. In bed with thick head as I write … 🤦♂️
Trump's exchange with Zelenskyy in front of the world's media was the most shameful and disgraceful behaviour (BY FAR) from a head of state and government that I have ever seen.
Watershed moment. The US is now part of the axis of evil. A shithole country.
And then they have their MAGA supporters and criminals willing to break the law and kill for their cause.
And now they have the power of government. 😔
It's still the lowest way and time to do it.
We must recognise them no longer as an ally but as an enemy.
Small dick syndrome
All the people saying Trump was a Russian 'asset' - we all hoped it was exaggerated.
Turns out: nope.
Make Moscow Great Again 🤮
Burn the phone down!!
Make calls #5calls
Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121
Attend town hall meetings
Write letters boycott

They have been fighting for 60 years only to find the US in the weakest position worldwide that it has ever been.
WT actual F does Trump have to do before they decide “ok that’s enough of this fucker”
I stand for democracy.
I stand with Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a hero, fighting for country and freedom.
Putin is ecstatic.
Fucked if I know
The USA is a pariah now. Axis of evil. A shithole country.
Russia’s.
That’s it.
Hmm, maybe that didn’t do so well either.
The fall of Rome. The US is now a force for evil.
They show no understanding of the Russia-Ukraine war, nor history, nor possible routes to peace.
Just incompetence from incompetents.

However, also, I've heard this about Putin's method of dictatorship: he uses confusion to break apart united opposition. He will 'sponsor' groups that opposed him and just make it so people don't trust their own judgment. Trump and he are akin.
From the short clip I have seen Zelenskyy is the only one of the three who remains in some control of the exchange.
So they are killing the world hegemon USA, transform it into a decadent fascist regime and, maybe, go for an alliance with Russia, invade Canada and Greenland and start ww3
The end of an empire.
President Zelensky, imho, has gone there knowingly, sacrificing himself to call the bluff.
Bring on the kompromat on that bastard, please.
Rest assured if Putin came to America, Trump would be licking his toes.
Is the answer
Why should we be borrowing billions to fund a war that’s none of our business?
Aside from standing with European partners? The ones who stood up when the US asked for aid?
If the US gets into a scrap in the Pacific it might rue the day it showed it couldn't be trusted. It might need friends then.
Trump is selling out the lives of Ukrainians. Disgusting.
His approach is 1980s power play and deal making. As well as some Cold War thrown in...
Putin’s lackey.
The King should tear that invite up in his face.
Truly nauseating behaviour from both Trump & Vance towards
President Zelensky 🇺🇦
All those other foods and drinks will be made in U.K. or EU
American brands doesn’t mean they are made in the US.
Very little food is exported from US to Europe. Some wine yes, obviously!
Wherever you are in Europe, congratulations. You are superior & luckier than us. Really, I wish I could join you.
But we're at burn it down stage.
The “headline” issue with US food is illustrated by chlorinated chicken. It’s chlorinated because of the awful conditions under which US chickens are kept.
Their influence in Europe needs to be removed…so does their army bases. No more intelligence sharing.
That is a start.
Sorry, only 33% of us give a fuck. We tried. Write us off and save yourselves.
Anyone that shares intelligence with the US can’t expect anyone else to share information with them.
Appalling, embarrassing, sickening, shameful.
GOP America now bows at the altar of Putin. They must be incredible proud of their Republican traditions.

#RussianStooge
This will allow him to justify the sale of weapons to Putin.
Europe can now face Russia alone, since Trump won’t honor Article five. Wake up time.
Just the clips make it look awful. Imagine being in a meeting for hours with the oafish buffon and his simpering sycophants.
Job done.
However, Trump isn’t acting in the best interests of either America or the free world.
He is a Russian asset and is doing the bidding of his master, Putin
The Russian word for what's going on is kompromat. Trump is on a string, putting other hand-picked assets or plain idiots in government. It is just blatant now.
No one's life matters except his
He will start WWlll if it will keep him on TV
Might have served Trump, if he gets the chance to show the world what happens when someone refuses to grovel.
GO ZELENSKYY
trump is an idiot
