I dunno what I'm starting this thread for, tbh. I just really, really felt like I wanted to click a button saying I support Zelensky and reject Trump and Putin tonight.

I cannot believe what I’ve just witnessed! That was the most bullying, unprofessional behaviour I have ever witnessed from politicians (and I know a few!) Poor Zelenskyy.

I'm guessing that he's had much worse times over the last three years. But I just feel sick for him and for Ukraine.

I felt ill listening to it. Does that always happen behind the scenes or do political leaders normally behave like decent human beings?

I’m sure he has but to behave like that in public? I truly loathe those men - Trump is terrible, Vance is worse and Musk is the worst of the lot. There have been American presidents in the past whose policies you could find reprehensible but every single one of them behaved appropriately on the world stage. That was just jaw-dropping. The USA has lost any little bit of credibility and respect that remained to it.

Agreed

You really dont need a poll for this.
Anyone who still supports trump and vance really needs to be put in a room and the key thrown away.

I think thrashing out of deals normally happens behind the scenes between diplomats and then they wheel the politicians in for the final handshakes. This was a deliberate public humiliation.

this is a divisive poll when in reality a rapprochement is necessary

Oh I think they should be put in a room with Trump and Vance, and the key thrown away.

wholettheturnipsburn · 28/02/2025 20:21

Surely no-one with an iota decency would back trump and putin

Neither of them - or that eyelinered twat - are fit to lick Zelensky's boots

That spectacle today was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen

America is lost

Like I said, I just wanted to click a button saying I support Zelensky. MN made me put two other options in. I also wanted to be clear that a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. Pathetic puppet that he is.

Oh mate I think the division between Zelensky and Putin happened when Putin illegally invaded Ukraine, not when I created this poll.

Embarrassing for the USA past presidents who handled themselves with dignity.
Trump’s simply a huge clown.

noblegiraffe · 28/02/2025 20:30

Can you imagine Obama acting like that?

Moglet4 · 28/02/2025 20:39

Sadly, Ukraine is now lost. Reprehensible toad that he is, Trump is not entirely wrong. Without America, Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance. Europe is hardly in the best position militarily and will not be enough to repel Putin. The pair of them will take Ukraine’s resources between them and Taiwan will be next. China’s already conducting military exercises in the border.

I bet Trump supporting Americans loved it. They probably wanted Trump to punch him.
I bet a fair few UK politicians and their Brexit supporting fans thought Trump did great as well.

noblegiraffe · 28/02/2025 20:40

Taiwan must be shitting themselves.

I personally don't see the USA as the UK's ally anymore.
I just wish we were still part of the EU 😔
Europe really needs to be united now.

Circumferences · 28/02/2025 20:45

We have a problem when our own continent Europe, can't criticise a genocide of Ukraine when they support the genocide of Gaza.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/02/2025 20:50

I had to turn it off. I honestly feel like if I watch Trump too often, I will start screaming and not be able to stop.

It was an abhorrent display by two bullies, intended (and I think deliberately) to intimidate and humiliate. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

Kendodd · 28/02/2025 21:02

I think it's the Oscars this weekend. I wonder how they will go?
