Zelensky - Trump meeting.…just horrible. BBC news live.

[JanieJS]

Scary stuff.

I don't know what to say.

I'm embarrassed for you.

The thick, the MAGA cult and the people being paid.

And how exactly do you stop someone with nuclear weapons they’re willing to use?

And you honestly think Putin will stop there? He will have seen he can gets what he wants by force. Next stop the rest of Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Poland.

They have just wheeled out Lindsey Graham- Senior Republican Senator- to the Press outside the Oval Office.
He said they had made the agreement last night and he warned Zelensky Trump would be combative today and said 'Don't take the bait'. Said he couldn't believe how Zelensky behaved and that he thought he was disrespectful to the President and the US in the White House.
He's a Trumpite so he would say that but......
They want rid of Zelensky and have tried very hard today to make him look bad on a national and international stage.

Easy to puff the chest out righteously, and jingoistically, when its not one's own loved ones on the front line. These boys aren't dying whilst bravely saluting their flag, they're dying screaming for their Mum - that's what war is.

He didn’t take the bait

I’m not a bot, but you are clearly a warmonger who is eager to sacrifice millions of young men for your futile wars.

Maybe you should read a thesaurus. Then you wouldn't have to keep using the same words over and over.

Hitler didn’t have nuclear weapons.

Warmongering continues.
It is depressing that you have so little respect for human life.

Trending on twitter is #disgusting.

Erm, surely it is the Trump apologists who don't give a shit about stuff like rape or serial assault? If they did, the orange man wouldn't be in the Whitehouse.

That is just what a bot would say. But we all know...... You wouldn't defend your home, you'd be happy for your kids to be rehomed to Russia without you. Of course we believe that.

I'm sure you are... Yet to meet a Ukrainian who wants "Putin to take the land" as you said.

I think you need to read more history books.

Putin has sacrificed enormous numbers of men and money in order to steal this "worthless" land.

Yet the bots on this thread seem to think that's OK.

So what do YOU think should happen?

Zelensky will be gone within a year. He was ill prepared.

Some of the pro-Trump, pro-Putin reactions on this thread are just disgusting. I thought they must be Russian bots, but a quick search shows are least some aren't. They're just vile people.

Sort out your Russian astroturfing problem, Mumsnet, or I’m off. This is shameful.

@TENSsion

Putin won't stop at Ukraine. You don't let people do whatever they want just because they have nuclear weapons.

What do YOU think should happen then, if not a ceasefire?

You fool. Putin has said since the 80s he wants the Soviet Union borders.

He invaded Georgia in 2008 and we all said 'tut tut.. don't go any further'. He invaded Crimea in 2014 and we all said ' Okay, as long as it's only Crimea'.

His aims have never been secret. We in the West have just played out History again with the attempted appeasement of Hitler.
