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.

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

This thread isn't about gaza

I can’t believe I’ve just read this. It’s the same difference. Gaza, West Bank etc. and Ukraine, we cannot stand by and turn a blind eye with innocent lives are being taken because that’s how world wars start.

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.

At the end of the day the EU will happily cosy up to the UK again with this new world order at our door.

Esp as the really divisive people aren’t in power right now.

I should like to salute the Leader of the Free World.

Zelensky

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?

Oh! I hadn’t realised it was the Oscars soon. I thought they meant Trump and Vance had put on such a good act that they’d be up for awards 🤣

LaurieFairyCake · 28/02/2025 23:24

There's loads of weirdos on the other thread who are pro Putin

People are fucking nutso on here

Russia invaded Ukraine, that's ALL on them

CurrentHun · 28/02/2025 23:27

Absolutely can’t believe how disgustingly and shockingly Trump and Vance behaved today towards Zelensky. How shameful and frightening for America and everyone else that these two are in charge. They bring absolute shame on their elected roles.

Stopsnowing · 28/02/2025 23:27

I can’t bear to watch the footage.

They really are scum

Remember this photo, when Putin invaded and Zelensky did not flee.

How can people claim that Zelensky is the aggressor, that he is starting WWIII and not Putin?

What is interesting about this thread, is despite a few people voting for that option, not one person has claimed that Trump and Putin are not on the same side.

Do you back Zelensky, or do you back Putin and Trump? Poll

Great poll @noblegiraffe.Thanks

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

It happened way before that, engineered by the USA. Everyone has such short memories these days. Zelenskyy was played like a flute.

Can you imagine Obama acting like that?

No. ‘When they go low we go high’.

Love or loathe his politics he was a statesman.

HauntedBungalow · 01/03/2025 01:31

Responsible for more deaths than Trump though. So far.

halfpastten · 01/03/2025 01:44

It is worth watching the whole thing, always. It starts with Vance talking about the need for diplomacy, then Zalensky interrupting him to school him on how diplomacy doesn't work, cease fires are a waste of time and asking Vance what he knows as he's never been to Ukraine. It was arrogant and rude tbf. Then it really kicks off and moves into the retaliatory spat, which was also unhinged. But really without diplomacy and a ceasefire what do we have, endless killing? Personally the side I'm on is the 100s of thousands of young men on both sides being fed into the meat grinder. It needs to stop.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 01/03/2025 01:49

Shit I hate to see anyone being bullied, that was sickening.

This is Zelensky being "arrogant and rude" to Vance about ceasefires

"Zelensky: “But during 2014 till 2022 the situation was the same, that people are been dying on the contact line. Nobody stopped him. You know that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my bilateral conversation, and we signed with him. Me like a new president in 2019 I signed with him. The deal I signed with him, Macron and Merkel. We signed ceasefire, ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go. We signed him with gas contract... but after that, he broken the ceasefire He killed our people, and he didn't exchange prisoners we signed the exchange of prisons but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you talking about. What do you mean?”"

Vance is fucking clueless idiot in a shiny suit.

If you're old enough you look back and think of Reagan and Bush, father and son. If there is to be a Republican president, then if only we could have any of them again.

Yeah, let's go back to the good old days of selling weapons to Iran to fund contras in Nicaragua, busting the unions and telling the workers to wait for trickle down, ignoring AIDS, basing your country's nuclear weapons programme on a sci fi fairytale, fucking up Lebanon, El Salvador, Chile, Afghanistan, colluding with paramilitaries in Colombia, bankrolling and installing Saddam Hussein, then bombing his country, going to war with an abstract noun, Afghanistan again, Iraq ... everything was just dandy until that guy Trump turned up.

I had to switch it off when the playground bullies started. Sickening and to think that Trump is President! Just unbelievable.
