Pair of arseholes. They make me so angry.
Zelenskyy is a saint.

WinterMorn · 28/02/2025 17:55

Honestly I have had to turn the TV over as it was making me feel physically sick. What a disgraceful display.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 17:57

I’m out at a wedding so just checking in, sounds like it’s awful!

Literally never seen anything of this ilk before.
World 'leaders' scrapping on live TV, arguing the toss with poor Zelenskyy and accusing him of not being grateful enough. Astonishing behaviour.

How is Zelenskyy conducting himself? I would imagine a damned lot better than Trump and JD.

StatuteofLiberty · 28/02/2025 18:03

I feel trump is playing a clever game or rather his advisors are.
I think the "deal"is clever actually if it all goes ahead and what we they are in is a chess game.

How to try and out snake putin?
Go head to head and literally put the entire world at risk.
That can't happen.
So what does trump do he could carry on locked in this half war where we can't give them more proper stuff to help!
Every time we creep forward putin threatens and be could use nukes small nukes which would be devastating and we cannot respond too

This deal is clever.
It means the USA gets a foothold investment in Ukraine
If the USA does that... There will be something there for USA to "protect". USA is nato so essentially it's a backdoor way of getting USA support without going in putin face.

Unfortunately I don't think zelensky understands the nature of Trump which is extremely unfortunate.
On the other hand... Maybe trump will respect him more after this??

Unfortunately Trump is holding the card, zelensky is in a terrible desperate situation and he has to work with trump.

Visibly struggling. Trying to hold his ground but not lose his rag.
You'll see it, this is going to be well picked over, over and over again.

MagicFox · 28/02/2025 18:12

My God, Trump and Vance berating Zelensky. I feel like crying watching this: www.instagram.com/reel/DGoBfHVMwRl/?igsh=YWFweHdjaXQ1cmls

It’s absolutely staggering.

Llttledrummergirl · 28/02/2025 18:17

Wow. I've only seen part of that clip but who the fuck do Vance and Trump think they are. A couple of fucking bullies, and out in the open where everyone can see it. Wtf are they like behind closed doors.

They are thick as shit, no understanding of World affairs, and so busy blowing smoke up each other's arseholes they have no desire to learn. Fucking scum.

Llttledrummergirl · 28/02/2025 18:19

The only reason America is in a good position is because of its size and geography. They want to be isolationist, we should fucking let them.

I hope charles tells Trump to stick that letter where the sun doesn't shine, and keep his hands off Canada.

I'm furious.

BellaPommefritio · 28/02/2025 18:19

Just awful. Zelenskyy must have a horrendous stress headache dealing with this.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 18:20

Just saw the clip of Zelenskyy asking JD if he’s ever been to Ukraine and JD responding that he’s seen it on TV and knows if he visits he just gets a wee propaganda tour. Fucking idiot that he is.

A Statement from President Donald J. Trump

β€œWe had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

Really? I mean ….really?

BellaPommefritio · 28/02/2025 18:23

Watching all the micro headshakes across poor Zelenskyy's forehead at all the narcissistic stuff and outright lies. Absolutely sickening.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 18:25

The USA at present is no friend of freedom, democracy or Europe. I honestly think after seeing what I’ve seen from today I’d go so far as to say unfortunately they’re now our adversary.

StatuteofLiberty · 28/02/2025 18:26

Yes really because if zelensky was able to come to the table.... And do the deal that's a back door guarantee of support.

So now... Absolutely nothing!

Whose the winner here? Will trump be affected or the the people of America?how will putin feel right now I bet he's punching the air!!

StatuteofLiberty · 28/02/2025 18:26

The absolute worst thing for putin would have been that deal.

WinterMorn · 28/02/2025 18:27

The only plus I can see from this is that the mask has well and truly slipped from the Oval Office and hopefully that atrocious performance will let more people see what a bullying, incompetent, clueless and abhorrent pair Trump and Vance are.

wholettheturnipsburn · 28/02/2025 18:27

I fell angry and sick at the same time

How fucking dare that bastard and his hillbilly mate treat him like that.

I'm raging

Why should Zelensky have to grovel?
Tell America and the World how wonderful Trump is and how Ukraine couldn't have survived without them, but still pay an inflated price?
One or the other. Free and grovel or Pay and keep his dignity. Not pay and lick Trump's boots.

Trump obviously coached by Putin. Turncoat.
