Now watching Trump yell at Zelensky. And Vance talk to him like he's a toddler. This is a shameful moment for United States diplomacy. It will be hard to recover from this.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

President Zelensky staat moedig in het Witte Huis, terwijl zijn land Oekraïne vecht voor vrijheid en onze gedeelde waarden. Als de VS wankelt en kiest voor barbaars regeren, moet Europa des te vastberadener achter Oekraïne staan. Dit is het moment om leiderschap te tonen.

De man die Oekraïne te vuur en te zwaard heeft verdedigd, wordt ordinair beledigd door Trump en Vance. Een nieuw dieptepunt in deze onzekere wereld. Europese leiders en ons kabinet komen nu niet weg met gratuit woorden. Actie is nodig voor Oekraïne en Europa’s veiligheid.

Alle media die dit beschrijven als ‘ruzie’, ‘a shouting match’ enz. geven Zelensky verantwoordelijkheid voor de onvoorstelbaar beschamende behandeling die hem ten deel viel. Hier zat een eervol mens tegenover de ergste bullies van het schoolplein. Verschrikkelijk.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.
