I don't understand why the news outlets are so surprised.

Why would Zelensky give away his country? There's no way he'd do that after fighting for it for so long and so hard.

How anyone in the US could be so deluded that they thought the Tangerine Toddler could get "peace" by stealing a country, I'll never fathom.

I've often thought there's a hysteria over Trump, but I'm absolutely disgusted with his behaviour here. Trump actually shoved Zelensky. I thought he would punch him at one point. Poor poor zelensky. A dignified, amazing leader, treated shockingly. He's a fucking imbecile.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 20:13

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Zelenskyy has more moral character, charisma and integrity in his pinky finger than the entire Trump Cabinet put together.

And so much of the awareness of support for Ukraine is down to him. If it had been the previous pols it probably would still be A War Far Far away of which week ow nothing and care even less.

Amrullah Saleh, the supposedly rightful president of Afghanistan (who fled to Turkmenistan in August 2021) must be kicking himself

I really hope Zelensky comes to Europe with the minerals deal offer on the table. The Trump Tantrum would be epic.

I'd pay to see that!

Does Europe have the manufacturing base to put these minerals to use profitably? Would the deal be worth their while?

How impressive that while being bullied Zelensky is speaking in a foreign language?

Trump is such a stupid fucking cunt he probably doesn't even realise.

Vance such a fucking cunt that, of course, he realises that it's impressive. Which almost makes him more of a cunt than Trump for continually talking to Zelensky in such a bullying manner.

I don't think the penny is ever going to drop with Trump that he's plainly showing he's no strong man who makes beautiful deals. What good deal maker gives one side everything they want immediately, in plain sight? How does this fit with him being strong on Putin? It doesn't because Trump can't even begin to do joined up thinking.

If I was Putin I'd almost be worried how obvious Trump is favouring Russia. It makes Trump extremely vulnerable. Except we don't live in normal times.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 20:50

I do wonder how much of it is that Trump is scared shitless of Putin and Russia.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.

This has to be the weakest president America has had for a very long time. He can't control himself, let alone a country.

I hadn’t realised the dickhead that asked Zelenskyy why he wasn’t wearing a suit is Marjorie Taylor Green’s boyfriend. Explains a lot…..

That was jaw-droppingly ridiculous and soooo aggressive. Is he a reporter?

He has no apparent shame so I would be amazed that he would feel threatened by kompromat

That's why I loved the response about the cheapness of the suit

They are both trailer trash

He’s apparently terrified of the prospect of nuclear war though, as in obsessively so.

Well yes true 😂 but Trump is a coward at heart so I don’t believe could consider being brave enough to put himself at even the slightest risk if it meant standing up for what’s morally right.

tobee · 28/02/2025 21:38

If it hadn't been for those damn bone spurs @Igotjelly, he'd have fought a beautiful war bigly.

Morals don t come into any consideration for the orange decency vacuum.

He is a cowardly stain on humanity

CaveMum · 28/02/2025 22:07

Do we think Trump is having a hissy fit at Fox News right now, demanding they don’t broadcast their interview with Zelenskyy?

The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to Zelensky’s remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, per senior administration official

The decision, if taken, would apply to billions of dollars of radars, vehicles, ammunition and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine through the presidential drawdown authority, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.
