I feel the same need to do something but unfortunately every aspect of our lives is linked to US tech, so I can't really see how you're going to escape that. Ready to give up Google? Microsoft? Apple?

If you listen to The Rest Is Politics (the one just before the emergency one yesterday), they explain how American tech firms operate. It’s like a mafia when it comes to defence. Really scary stuff. We need to build our own stuff. We have great innovative people and research at our universities. It just needs to be built here.

As an American I would like to say how deeply ashamed I am.
Please understand that less than half of American citizens voted for Trump/Vance and there are millions of us who are repulsed by their vile behavior.

Interested in your take on the half that did. Why? I mean Harris was not impressive but Trump seems to be a cult.

What a hideous thing to watch. Horrifying.

It's so divisive, there really are people who think that this is the US showing power and strength.

It's horrifying.

I don't want Trump welcomed to the UK.

He's a dictator who is turning the US into something we should be protecting people from.

I'm utterly appalled at what I've just seen. I just don't understand why Americans seem to be indifferent to the way their president is acting.
Congress, senators, I've seen nothing that condemns this behaviour.

Americans aren’t indifferent. America is a deeply polarized country. Half of America is seething. I live in America and I can promise you that the visceral loathing of Trump is palpable amongst a huge population of Americans. They are going crazy about his behavior here.

Just saw a photo of Starmer with his arm
around him on the bbc and he looks so emotional! Must have been a horrible couple of days for him

one day Trump will likely receive a Nobel peace prize and have ultimately saved hundreds of thousands of life’s.

Genuine question, assuming you’re American/ a Trump fan, are you aware that he is a laughing stock to the rest of the world?

Thanks for this! I have been looking for information as to how much financial support they have given them. My god, they just randomly double it with no supporting evidence.

Incredulous

My guess is "we gave you $360b" refers to all sources. Note Macron correcting Trump recently as well.

Understood. You might have noticed that we’ve had a few odd Prime Ministers in recent years, one of whom was outranked by a lettuce. The world is going through a difficult phase and we stand together as much as we can, whatever fruitcake is in charge at any particular moment.

Agreed. I also live in the US, in the deep red bit in the middle, and even here a 1/3 of people didn’t vote for this and are fucking livid. There’s also some buyers regret kicking in from those who did as DOGE rip through the government agencies which are big employers in these states.

This must be one of the most shameful displays America has ever seen. Whatever happens, history will remember Zelenskyy as a courageous man who cares deeply about his country and Trump as a wet wipe who bends over for Putin.

I personally think Starmer and Charles should rescind the invitation of a state visit after that display.

This and Vance is despicable l don't know what makes him think he is entitled to speak to Zelensky like that. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Starmer is weak and will keep on sucking up to trump until the bitter end

I did not vote for the Labour party so am not a fan of our current Prime Minister. I do believe that most British politicians are well versed in applying good manners and an element of flattery to appease Trump's ego. It is well recorded that he has an admiration for our Royal family via his links to Scotland through his maternal heritage, so an offer to dine with our King is not without merit politically. Purely in terms of numbers, military or arms, we do not have an awful lot to offer cmpared to the USA. My empathy is firmly with the people of Ukraine, invaded without warrant. President Zelensky tried his best to stand up to the American bullies who seemed more interested in the fact that they thought he was apparently disrespecting the Oval office by not wearing a suit, and saying thank you wonderful America every 5 mins, than the fact that his country is being assaulted by Russia and the Ukraines are just trying not to give into bullies. On behalf of his country President Zelensky met Trump to agree to give him minerals as a business transaction payback, but understandably wanted an aggreement for defense if that meant the end of the war. Otherwise the USA gets the minerals then Putins troups sweep in and take Ukraine anyway after this transaction is concluded. I did admire Zelensky when he was asked "do you even owned a suit?". I slightly paraphrase from memory but it went along the lines of "we are at war. I will wear a costume when the war is ended". Really admirable.

Yes I did watch it? What's your point?

As for the rest, how to tell me you're subsumed by misinformation without telling me!

My god the world laughs and cringes at you, in alternate ways

@Hexagonsareneverround doesn’t come across Trump much in person because they live on a bot farm in Siberia

@Coolasfeck podcast is that episode called trumps endgame

bombastix · 01/03/2025 22:25

There appear to be a lot of stories coming out which suggest that Vance has really kept up the hostility towards Zelenskyy and engineered it. You have to wonder why that is, and why the Americans thought this would work. Why was Vance there in the first place?

Vance should have kept his mouth shut.
