Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

It is beyond baffling that Zelenskyy is asked to sort out stopping the war - I don’t understand how that can be a ‘thing’.
Not sure the official reason for Putin being in Ukraine though tbh, does he officially state Ukraine is actually part of Russia so some should be ceded? (Know it isn’t actually part of Russia btw).

TokyoSushi · 18/08/2025 12:50

Yes @MsJinksPutin seems to be of the opinion that Ukraine is Russia, and they’re actually occupying his land, nuts.

TokyoSushi · 18/08/2025 12:52

It’s like if somebody breaks into to your house and attacks you, and then everybody says, just give the attacker your kitchen and it’ll stop (it won’t) and when you say I can’t, it’s part of my house, they say well you’re the one causing this then, look what you’ve done.

The White House has released the timings for the day’s events in Washington DC.

Donald Trump is to hold a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at 1.15pm (5.15pm GMT) on Monday at the White House.

Trump will then participate in a multilateral meeting with European leaders visiting Washington at 3pm (7pm GMT).

It is rather cowardly to talk to President Zelenskyy alone, when the heads of European states are there as well.

Weird, also. What has he got to say to the Ukrainian president that isn't for the ears of Europe? If the long overdue apology, why not let all hear?

Does he intend to extract a promise from him?

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 13:33

Trump is a coward.

European leaders will meet with Zelenskyy before he sits down with Trump, AFP reports.

@DuncinToffee Trump didn't look great either at the truncated 'press conference' but Putin was like a butchers dog

Sad

Putin has Trump by the balls.
I think Putin swung the election for him in return for US secrets and/or whatever help he wants from the US. If trump doesn't deliver Putin will expose him and trump will be toast.

Igotjelly · 18/08/2025 14:11

And there you have it, Vance to attend too.

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 14:13

The surprising bit was Vance not attending the half baked Alaska meeting imo.

Efacsen · 18/08/2025 14:17

Perhaps Friday was the day Vance was meeting the king at Balmoral - only half joking

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 14:25

It would be interesting to see who Vance was meeting that day.

Serpentstooth · 18/08/2025 14:39

I imagine Putin said something along these lines to Trump ' I made you and I can break you. That goes for your lackeys too.The choice is mine. Don't forget it'. Fingers crossed for today's gathering. Trump should be in prison, instead he and his mafia own us. And Putin owns him. Fingers 🤞 all goes well for Zelensky and he's afforded some protection from the yobbery of the US Peesidency.

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 14:44

More of Putin's work

in crazed early morning screed, the president announces "I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES"

Unlike the Cotswolds leg of his holiday there's very little in the press about how he spent the 4 days [reduced from 5 days] on the private estate in Scotland apart from him playing golf at nearby Turnberry

Tho' surely if he'd helicoptered off to Balmoral/anywhere you'd think that the assembled press would have noticed?

Just seen on the Ukraine thread that Russian tanks are now attacking Ukrainians while flying the American flag. I wonder what the Orange Fuckwit thinks about that particular war crime.

Politico

Volodymyr Zelenskyy will once again forgo a traditional suit when he meets Donald Trump at the White House today, instead opting for a military-style outfit, one of his designers told POLITICO.

Spandauer · 18/08/2025 17:35

He had a black jacket (with lapels) on in video footage of the earlier pre-meeting of Ukraine and European leaders in the Ukrainian embassy. So definitely won't be a Saville Row suit and tie.

I hope they find a path to stop this today ,it could be a truly moments day.

Get it stopped then everyone can get in without poking the bear ie in a war arena

Then Putin wouldn't dare to do it again with all sorts of military hardware in there.

Efacsen · 18/08/2025 18:10

Zelenskyy about to arrive at the WH and be greeted by Trump

European leaders have already arrived

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 18:18

'Biden's war' Hmm

RafaistheKingofClay · 18/08/2025 18:34

I’m not hopeful there is anyway of stopping this war while Putin’s hard red line involves land which is still in Ukranian hands. Zelensky cannot accept that. He knows what it means and why that particular piece of land is important to Putin. Unlike Trump who thinks Putin can be taken at his word. And will definitely not be rolling the tanks into the rest of Ukraine in 2 years time.

DuncinToffee · 18/08/2025 18:46

He stayed on topic for quite a while but he has gone off now

Spandauer · 18/08/2025 18:52

Drumpf says he'll be calling Putin as soon as the talks conclude. Presumably to get a 'Good Boy' sticker for his progress chart.

At least Vance kept his mouth shut this time.
