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.

100% Zelensky.

I can't believe any normal, decent person would say otherwise tbh!

It was sickening to watch Zelensky being bullied today. Trump is absolutely vile.

do you not understand?

I can't say that the Oscars are anywhere near the front of my mind right now.

Is Zelensky up for an Oscar?

The only good thing to come out of the shit show that happened in the Oval Office today is that Ukraine and Zelenskyy will receive even more support. Against Putin, against Trump and against this whole horrendous and frightening far right trend.

Er, what?

Hollywood stars are often outspoken and might give some idea of the mood in America after this.

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

Do elaborate.

MN doesn't get many votes like this...

Given the state of the other thread, I'm wondering if bots can't push buttons.

I assume that the pp meant that pretty much every speech at the Oscars will take the opportunity to condemn Trump and Vance and express support for Zelensky and Ukraine?

Sorry! X post.

Say what you want and yes unprofessional is an understatement, but the facts are the facts, this situation is indeed gambling with world war 3, where all of our lives are at risk, and Zelensky might have to consider cutting some losses rather than shoving us all into the end of the world, literally..

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.

I feel the same way. I truly wish we were part of the EU again.

I feel sick watching this tonight. I scared for our childrens' future, and I'm scared for our Ukrainian friends.

Loungingbutnotforlong · 28/02/2025 21:16

Who the hell voted Trump and Putin? On what basis? If anyone is playing with World War III, it’s that pair.
I am so disgusted by the shameful display of Trump and Vance- playground bullies with no sense or understanding of geopolitics, or even just the right thing.

Justhere65 · 28/02/2025 21:16

I had to switch the radio off so didn’t hear it all. But I heard enough to realise that Trump and his henchmen are like school playground bullies … disgusting.

So it is the guy whose country has been invaded that is gambling with WW3, and not the aggressor or the countries that are supporting the aggressor?

If Putin decided to invade the UK, which bits of the country would you be happy to hand over in order to keep the peace? Any red lines?

So based on that perhaps the orange cunt could speak to his good friend Putin and ask him to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

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

Oh fuck. Does gaza have to be shoehorned into everything.

This thread isn't about gaza

Just pointing out that in covid Germany and everyone all went every man for themselves. I don’t think you can say being in the eu would make any sort of difference here. If Putin/trump/whatever dickhead starts ww3 we all pull together or not. It’ll make no difference to be in the eu or not. It’ll be what’s necessary or we’ll all be fucked

Zelensky didn’t invade Ukraine. That’s like blaming the Jews for starting the Holocaust.

Yes plenty of bots in some of the other threads, spreading misinformation.

Here we go. You don't have to bring Gaza onto every political thread ever. It does get discussed, believe it or not.

Beesandhoney123 · 28/02/2025 23:06

I can only admire Zlensky for not punching Trump.
Don't give in to bullies. The US is in bed with the reds. The danger is Trump and his lackeys. We need to support Ukraine all the way.

From a reporter asking why Zelensky wasn't wearing a suit - we all know- looked a planned question. To Trump and Vance disgusting performance.

Zekensky handled himself really well, given what they were trying to do. Anyway, that wasn't a deal. Blatant profiteering?

You do realise that Zelensky is the one standing protecting the rest of Europe from Putin? While we all benefit, only Ukrainians are dying.

Without Zelensky, Poland is next.

@maria2bela1

No, Zelensky is not gambling anything. If there is WWIII, it will be Putin’s and Trump’s doing. Zelensky did not attack anybody.
What do you want him to do? Hand Ukraine over to Russia? You know it will not stop Putin. He was allowed to take Crimea, but it did not stop his full blown invasion on Ukraine.
If Russia attacked your country, would you be ok with it being handed to Russia?
