it was a bullshit deal that would cost billions and take decades. they got Zelensky to the Whitehouse on a premise and they ambushed him with psychology ops. that wasn't about a deal or peace it was about trying to overpower and subjugate Zelensky for Russia
I don't know the full ramifications of this, however, from my limited standpoint, Zelensky just won the shooting match. I pray for him and Ukraine. Go Z Go!!! 💙
It just occurred to me, did those 2 clowns really think they were gonna strong arm somebody who's been standing up to Putin for 3 solid years? Sorry, I have to laugh at that.
GOOD!!!!!!! It is my thought this was all a set up to bully him anyway. If Trump had genuine intentions to sign the agreement this spectacle would not have happened.
Fuck that old orange entitled slurring pedo sleepy farting rapist fraudster charlatan Russian spy milker liar racist heartless clueless golfing everyday wind turbines fearing oil barron war dodging… did I mention racist?… scum bucket tramp little dick mysogonist… did i mention rapist?
Trump in the near future:
“We tried to negotiate with him, but he was so unreasonable. He had no cards but he was willing to gamble and start World War 3! He even disrespected our great country by refusing to wear a suit.”
Absolute baller...let's hope the Europeans will be as bold and brave as he is. Military build ups are a great way to juice sagging economies (hello Germany).
Europe needs to aggressively step the fuck up and throw themselves behind Ukraine. I am sure emergency meetings are being held at this very moment, and emergency defense budgets being drafted.
America should be cut off from the civilised world until this regime is toppled.
This is hard and will hurt Ukraine, but from a moral perspective feels right. It may not be the best thing for Ukraine, but surrender sovereignty and there will be no Ukraine.
Like the deals Hitler made & broke, Trump can’t be trusted.
He’d get his goons into Ukraine to get the minerals, but find an excuse to stop military aid. He’d get the minerals on the cheap & then sell them to Putin. He’d then say it was ‘great business, & call Zelensky a sucker.
Poor Trump. He is never going to win a Nobel Peace Prize now, as he wants to do to beat his rivals Presidents Obama and Carter! No Scandinavian awards for him.
I cannot believe the utterly reprehensible way that that President Trump and Vice-president Vance treated President Zelinsky. An incredibly brave man dealing with the devastating, unprovoked invasion of his country.
And after the Trump/Vance ill-treatment of Zelensky in the Oval Office today, we can hope that Europe will step up as much as possible against tyranny -- not just Putin's but also Trump's.
After all is said and done, Zelenskyy will be hailed a hero. Statues will be built to his image, but Orange Turd's burial plot will get pissed on 'til the end of time!
The agreement was a humiliating Extortion scheme foisted on Ukraine by a totally compromised, untrustworthy former ally. Zelenskyy already knew that America is Ukraine's enemy, and now the World knows.
Zelenskyy should've simply announced a conclusion to this meeting, and then LEFT.
Two manbabies trying lecture an actual wartime leader, who has seen more than his share of violence and loss, about war. They have absolutely no clue what it means to stand up for your people. Utterly embarrasment.
I wonder that he kept his patience. I don't know that I could have handled the same situation without bloodshed. God bless him for not giving in to the brow beating and insult he faced from the supposed leaders of the 'free' world.
My God, if the rest of the world stands for this, there's no hope.
He's had an unimaginably hard three years. He knows the only way out is through. The rudeness from Trump and Vance isn't a new battlefield; they're petty extensions of Putin, who Zelenskyy knows how to fight. He's made of iron, while they're gnats buzzing in his face.
I don't think Zelenskyy had any reason to be embarassed. I think Trump/Vance looked like bullies and buffoons, I think THEY looked bad in this exchange. Shouting, insulting, and lying. Zelenskyy hit back in the best way he could, being the david in front of the goliaths.
Ignoring the asshattery of the spectacle (which has me, the descendent of Polish immigrants ENRAGED), JD hasn't realized that CHINA wants those mineral rights too.
They bullied Zelenskyy into coming to the Oval Office so we could *steal* their minerals. They had the win. There's no excuse for this.
It's for the best. There wasn't anything in it for Ukraine anyway! I hope Ukraine continues to fight Russia & Russia's economy totally tanks! A ceasefire is not an end to the war. Putin must be stopped! It's Putin & Trump who should resign!
Trump was going to sign because he thinks it would give him access to a lot of minerals that we currently get from China, but China is threatening to withhold.
why would he give up his country’s resources that the US didn’t even pay enough for? That is exactly what Russia is trying to do, but with actual military force.
And rightfully so. The US president is nothing more than a robberbaron. Extortion, lies, cowardice and bullying. But you don't bully or bullshit someone like Zelensky. He has faced far worse than what happened in the oval office. What a farce. Elect an embarrasment, expect to be embarrased.
I don’t think we have to worry about Canada, they aren’t going to give trump a damn thing!
I was hoping Zelensky would just get up and walk out without signing a damn thing and tell Trump & Vance to go fuck themselves! So when I heard he left without signing anything, it was an answer to my prayers!
It’s like DT doesn’t understand that Canada isn’t available: it’s part of the British commonwealth, hence why King Charles’ face appears on Canadian money. 🤣
I mean, I suppose Canada could fight their own Revolutionary War to fight for independence & then join US, but it’s not going to happen…
C'est mauvais pour Trump parce que la Chine en mesure de rétorsion sur les tarifs douaniers a restreint ses exportations de terres rares vers les USA! Il a besoin de terres rares!
Good. I hope he is safe while on US soil... but all bets are off with this renegade US 'government'. Wouldn't trust them not to abduct Zelenskyy and deliver him to Putin.
“You this, you that” based on “I’ve watched the programs” followed closely with “I don’t know what they did” and yet another spurious comparison to Obama 20 years ago? Fucking moronic untrustworthy pieces of shit.
GOOD! Trump and Vance treated him so badly - they should apologize and EVERY member of congress should condemn their abhorant behavior toward our ally.
Since there are clearly no norms of diplomacy or anything else that can be trusted I'm just relieved that Zelensky was able to leave the White House without being disappeared or handed to the FSB.
There's reports on the subject in this thread and a quick Google search could back them up with other articles. And those articles aren't coming from some Russian state media site.
Okay if you wanna go banning parties we can drop the pretense of "Free World" sure but they didn't ban far right parties and they banned like several of them.
Trump was so adamant! It’s been a figment of his imagination for a while and pushing it as a negotiating strategy. How humiliating for a guy who does deals!!
Comments
Trump would have welshed on the deal anyway.
I am ashamed.
Instead, they beclowned themselves and Zelensky looked like Eustache St. Pierre, though his end will be better.

“We tried to negotiate with him, but he was so unreasonable. He had no cards but he was willing to gamble and start World War 3! He even disrespected our great country by refusing to wear a suit.”
The agreement was a bluff by the US, which is interested only in serving Putin.
America should be cut off from the civilised world until this regime is toppled.
He’d get his goons into Ukraine to get the minerals, but find an excuse to stop military aid. He’d get the minerals on the cheap & then sell them to Putin. He’d then say it was ‘great business, & call Zelensky a sucker.
Extortion only breeds more extortion.

Good on Zelenskyy for standing up to the bully and his cowardly side kick chuntering from the bleachers

Bad, that traitor's strings are being pulled by Putin and the fuckery will escalate.
Slava Ukraini!
My God, if the rest of the world stands for this, there's no hope.
Can we have Zelensky as our president?
This was - expectedly - just an opportunity for T***p to embarrass Zelenskyy on photo/video
They bullied Zelenskyy into coming to the Oval Office so we could *steal* their minerals. They had the win. There's no excuse for this.

Trump was going to screw them over anyway.

I should’ve put these pic in my original post (it’d be great if @bsky.app offered an edit function, but until they do…)

Ukrainians escaped the noose by the skin of their teeth.

I'm getting pretty close to feeling like maybe the Republican party should be too
He's not your friend or ally. This is a case of fascist infighting.
Trump = insane
