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

[JanieJS]

Scary stuff.

I don't know what to say.

A Russian drone just struck a crowded hospital in Kharkiv. Fire is raging at the site. Rescuers are rushing to the scene.

All whilst Trump is telling Zelenskyy to be nicer to Putin

It was not ‘nearly a hundred years ago’. And the US itself was conscripting 18 year olds to fight a war on the other side of the world well into the 70s.

If the UK was under direct threat we would reintroduce conscription here too.

Yeah he does, he is a lot more switched on than he lets on and of course he has a weekly private briefing with the PM.

All this has just left me thinking if Trump had been POTUS 80 + years ago when Hitler invaded the Channel Islands.

He then was pontificating to Winston Churchill basically saying either you write off the Channel Islands to the Germans or you're on your own.

I don't think Winnie would have needed to say a word. Just chomped down on his cigar and looked at DT like he was something that had crawled under his shoe. Margaret Thatcher would probably have behaved similarly bearing in mind that no way was she giving up the Falklands.

I find it incredulous that he just expects Zelenskyy to write off part of the Ukraine to the Ruskies.😱. And, as for that odious little toad Vance pointing the finger at the PRESIDENT of another country. Who the fuck does he think he is??? 🤬

I sincerely hope that this is the case.

That scenario would require Trump to have some intelligence …

Same. After this I think he'll meet a violent end. Eventually.

Really, just don't bother. It doesn't work outside Russia or trump world

So rude.

It was nothing but an ambush instigated by Trump and his right hand man. They disrespected Zelensky and all that his country has been through trying to belittle him in front of the world, they want him to give up his minerals so Putin can take the land, that's why they won't offer security deal with the mineral deal. Hopefully we take back the state visit otherwise there will be riots. It. Might very well come down to having to pick between the USA and Ukraine for us in the future and nato will be at stake. Worrying times ahead.

WW3 ...here we come...

Or maybe more dick sautéing, if Ms Daniels is to be believed. So undignified.

We're all fecking doomed. Too many madmen running the world. Trump, Vance,Putin, that Saudi dude and most of the leaders of the Middle East , too many to count in Africa, and to top it off Musk. What a time to be alive!

Absolutely terrifying.

I know it's stupid and I don't even believe in a God, but I keep hoping that it will be God who strikes.

A Ukrainian MP just called for Z's impeachment.

Well, which one are you?

Bumping the above petition to get King's invitation to Trump to visit UK withdrawn

It makes me fucking sick and scared that the fate of us all is in the hands of a few ageing, bloated, self-serving male billionaires with delicate egos.

I'm glad I'm oldish, but not old enough, unfortunately. I hope I have a fair few good years still left in me, but sometimes I wish I didn't. It's a scary time.

How/why did America do this to us? Those fucking idiots. I hate them for putting a reality show influencer in the White House. I hate Joe Biden for not doing proper succession planning and for his arrogance in going for a second term. A lot of hate, I know, but I am in a very bad mood.

This is becoming such a popular theme that I'm thinking of starting a side hustle.
Wax dolls and a box of pins!

And the journalist shouting about his lack of suit being disrespectful. As if some nobody hackling a foreign dignitary is respectful!

They so staged the whole thing. A room full of hostility from the start. It was like watching the Fat Orangutan in his The Apprentice days.

This is Dmitry Medvedev's response on Twitter.
Medvedev is an ex-president and currently , I think, National Security spokesman at the Kremlin. Vile piece of shit.

Who will it be presented to? It needs a parliament petition, so it has to be debated. There isn't one yet.
