If you were smart, you wouldn’t suggest treating the leader of an embattled nation as a political prop, and you might even know Democratic Senators joined bipartisan meetings with Zelensky today before he went to the White House.

I was, in fact unaware. Thank you.

You’re not a serious person

Republicans gave Netanyahu time to speak on the floor of Congress when Obama was president, but Democrats are either to stupid to use a similar tactic or too tepid.

gabesmall.bsky.social•20 days ago

Republicans controlled the House agenda and Netanyahu was engaged in a very different power dynamic where he needed to play to his own domestic politics

tsumibito13.bsky.social•20 days ago

My point is precedent and that Democrats absolutely have the power to share a televised platform with a foreign leader if they choose to, not that the situations are entirely the same.

gabesmall.bsky.social•20 days ago

I don't think you're considering Zelensky's position though

For the same reason he agreed to this meeting with Trump despite knowing it wouldn't do any good.

gabesmall.bsky.social•20 days ago

Getting involved in internal domestic US politics can easily make his position worse

gabesmall.bsky.social•20 days ago

Why would he take a meeting with people who have no power to help his country right now

And this is a spot where I think it's okay to invite McConnell and such. Dems don't need to own this issue as much as they need to corner Trump.

A nation fighting for survival is not your prop to score Internet points with

Why would Zelenskyy even attend this, what can out-of-power Democrats offer him?

Too bad they are big nerds and respecting the norms about the executive branch handling foreign relations. Even though the norms have been thrown in the treash fro years

Well, what would be smart is for Trudeau and the president of Mexico to hold a joint news conference with Z in Ottawa later this afternoon, denouncing Trump and Vance for their rude behavior and for cuddling up to Putin. Then have Starmer and Macron join the call to back them up.

That Starmer is blocking UK Aid. He is not tea.

fizzixrat.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, We need to have a little talk with him too then.
