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 fully back Zelensky. Trump & Vance were disgusting bullies. They should be profusely thanking ZELENSKY for holding the eastern front against the disgusting aggressor Russia!!

noblegiraffe · 01/03/2025 18:43

You just linked to a thread where 76% voted the OP as being unreasonable.

Can't vote on app but 100% Zelenskyy

PattyDukeAstin · 01/03/2025 18:47

@dottiehens you need to try harder - it's just not working.

TooBigForMyBoots · 01/03/2025 18:48

Loving the links @dottiehens.😀 What was your point again?🤣🤣🤣

Glad you find it super funny.

Zelenskyy all the way. Dislike Trump with a passion since he started campaigning for his first term.

dottiehens · 01/03/2025 19:02

Btw I have nothing against Zelensky neither are pro Zelensky. Just what I said I remembered people to pile on Boris were commenting negatively against him too.

Now is 100 percent Zelensky just see the comments here because they hate Trump.

Sakura7 · 01/03/2025 19:06

Trump's animosity towards Zelensky goes back to this:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49800181

Zelensky wouldn't do Trump's dirty work for him, and we know how he likes to hold a grudge.

I was in tears watching.

This war is unwinnable. Russia has a population of about 75 million men.
Ukraine has about 19 million, UK has about 25 million.

We could send all the men from the UK and Ukraine to their deaths and, if they killed each other man for man, Russia would still have 30 million men left.

You do the math.

@ThankyouBakedP0tato That’s a really good point. But the problem is, will Putin stop just at Ukraine though? What if he decides to expand? It would be dreadful if we allow history to repeat itself.

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 01/03/2025 19:12

@dottiehens the thread you've linked hardly supports your point. It's a thread where the vast majority of replies disagreed with the OP.

Any more for us to look at?

Of course he won't. We know how this plays out.

BurntBroccoli · 01/03/2025 19:24

I didn't see this thread until now and no button but YES absolutely back Zelenskyy.

He looked so emotional when he met Kier Starmer earlier. So pleased people were cheering him.

BurntBroccoli · 01/03/2025 19:26

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

There's a few on my Facebook that back Trump unfortunately.

TeenLifeMum · 01/03/2025 19:32

My American family are horrified and embarrassed. They’re avoiding the news because it’s upsetting and although they were Harris voters, they did have some friends who voted Trump and they are horrified too.

I guess workplace bullies are everywhere, you just don’t usually see them that often. Interesting that Fox allowed Zelenskyy to actually clarify some of what he was trying to say when he was spoken over. I think it was CNN that played a reel of the 50+ times Zelenskyy has thanked America for all they’ve done.

cassie2and2 · 01/03/2025 19:35

If Trump realy wants to take the credit for ending the russian ukraniane war he should find a way for Putin to save face by ending the war. . Trump has little to lose by inflaming the situation at present, the recent interview shows what a meglomaniac he is.
I strongly feel anyone who disagrees with Trump may find themselves in the gulag

wholettheturnipsburn · 01/03/2025 20:39

Obh obh.

Perhaps in the short term but for anyone who has dealt with a bully, it's only a matter of time before they turn on you again and either demand or humiliate you more. Eventually Trump with ask KIng Charles to hand over his crown and Buckingham palace as a 'gift', I'm joking but also not.

He’ll say he really likes Sandringham and he’ll insist on buying it! Although I bet BP speaks more to his ego! Or offer to buy Scotland. He’ll get his own bigger crown made and a special sceptre made for his teeny tiny hands.

Yeah, what president or recent British PM doesn’t have a few billionaire mates? Ours does. Boris, Rishi, even Nigel F had a pet billionaire.
But most of all Trump and Putin. Zelenskyy is a saint compared to those two, whose message you seem to be passionately making. I can’t believe you’d even compare him to those two. I can’t believe it actually

Odras · 01/03/2025 21:15

I think what is so worrying about this, is that it’s not possible to disagree with Trump without being humiliated.

Now it’s not possible to say - we are your friend but we also think your Gaza plan breaks international law/your Ukraine policy sucks/we’re a bit concerned about your Greenland rhetoric. World leaders can only say to Trump what we wants to hear and suck up to him.

That is a dictator.

AccountCreateUsername · 01/03/2025 21:33

Feels like a done deal at this point to me @Odras what’s scares me more is the lack of push back. Are we (the world / eu / uk) starting as we mean to go on? :(

Rosesducks · 01/03/2025 21:42

For those who beat the war drums, tell me what exactly is the preferred endgame?

Do you truly believe that throwing wave after wave of soldiers into the inferno will suddenly make Putin bow his head?

Unless you’re ready to turn the key and bathe the world in nuclear fire, this war doesn’t end with a glorious charge it ends in exhaustion, in rubble, in a battlefield where victory tastes as bitter as defeat.

Yes, I understand the desire for Ukraine to triumph. Its certainly a righteous cause, But tell me have you ever seen a kingdom rise from ashes?

Or does history teach us that when the dust settles, it’s the vultures who feast?

You may claim victory in the end, but when the cities are smouldering ruins and the streets are paved with ghosts, what exactly have you won?

So I ask you how many of you, sitting in your comfortable homes, would still cheer for war if the price was watching Europe burn?

SunDash · 01/03/2025 21:49

If you be been brain washed by too much RT or Fox, you might back VanceTrumpPutin. Not much hope for you then.
Appenently Trump FSB nom de guère is Nemskov, or something similar, right?
