Scary stuff.

I don't know what to say.

Sadly I think his supporters will think he disrespected them in the cherished oval office. They are that bent in their ways.

Well this is what happens when America votes an imbecile into the WH.

Trump is a dictator himself - he thinks he can invade the Gaza Strip and help himself to Greenland.

Also, Zelensky really resisted lowering the conscription age for ages. The EU pushed for it but ultimately it was a decision taken under pressure from... the US. You can criticise NATO members for not spending enough on defence blah blah. But Ukraine have done every single thing America has asked them to from the 90s up to now. "Say Thank you"

Motherrr · 28/02/2025 18:45

So vile to see this. That Vance is awful. Trump too obviously. Only at the beginning of their 4 years...

Legalaction · 28/02/2025 18:45

I’ve just woken up from a sleep, what exactly did Zelensky say to make trump kick off like this? What was said prior to the shouting to make Vance start on him?

Trump hates Zelensky because he refused to provide information about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine….

With Trump it is all personal. He never forgets a personal slight.

Oh the impeachment. Of course.

@sidebirds I think we are all very quickly realising who is a corrupt puppet here- and it ain't Zelensky -

Putin has something big on Trump- I would bet good money on it

Yes. Along with Musk. How else is Trump putting up with a 4 year old telling him to shut his mouth on live TV?

Bakewelltart1 · 28/02/2025 18:41

@Wavescrashingonthebeach your post made me shudder (if you’re serious) because I was thinking Musk, but Trump is a good contender.
I will not be afraid.

Sadly I'm deadly serious
Elon almost like the false prophet, I know the false prophet is a religious thing but feel like tech is almost a religion in and of itself these days!
One thing is for sure, we're in scary times.
I'm too aghast to watch these conferences id feel like I was rubbernecking an assault or something.

He didn't say anything. Trump was in a shitty mood right from the off.

I dont call it discipline i call it cowardice, and bribery with his invite from the King..Trump can only play nice when people fawn over him, as soon as someone has the guts to disagree he turns very nasty..

And as we have just seen, if he hadn't ‘allowed him to play nice’ the meeting would have gone the same way.

Good leaders pick their battles, but more importantly treat others with respect, even when they don't deserve it.

Anyway, this isn't about Starmer.

Hmmm I'm not so sure who is actually the bully, dictator, narcissist here.

Zelensky has forced even younger men to fight in this war by passing a law last year. If you are male and Ukrainian you have no choice to put your life on the line.

How is that fair? How was that a democratic decision?

As a mother of boys I would be absolutely furious to have this forced upon my sons.

He expects every man to die for his country and for other countries to join in with putting their citizens lives down for him too.

I think he's asking for too much now. He wants everyone to fight this war forever. I wonder of Ukraine would send weapons, money and their men to defend America or the UK?

Edited

What's the alternative? Being under Russian rule is no picnic either

subfertilepcos · 28/02/2025 18:47

That poor man. What the fuck was going on the way they spoke to him about saying ‘thankyou’ like he was a toddler. It’s disgusting. Gaslighting him and he was so calm for so long and trying to respond factually and politely. I can’t believe they behave that way and think they can get away with it. Appalling

They need to speed that state visit to Balmoral up ASAP. Genealogists need to discover distant relatives of Trump’s who fought in WW1/2 and present them to him, while talking emotionally about military action on European soil and how bullies quickly gain traction unless completely resisted. He then needs to be take a long walk with Charles and a bottle of whisky, who can regale him with tales of how awful it was for his mother and grandfather during WW2, and how much the Queen liked Trump as he reminded her of Churchill (who Trump really admires apparently). Literally anything to find that scrap of humanity in him.

Sadly if you look at cold war battle plans, Europe as we know it would have been wiped out... we are not far off with Putin & Trump playing together.... anyone remember the Hitler Stalin pact?

I wondered that tbh.

Me too, though maybe I'm grasping at straws!!

LoudSnoringDog · 28/02/2025 18:49

What's Putin got on Trump???

There can be no other explanation for this

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 28/02/2025 18:49

@Bakewelltart1
I will not be afraid either.

Roseshavethorns · 28/02/2025 18:49

They are a disgusting pair of bullies. Vance shouting over Zalensky.
It is truly horrific.

I assume Zelensky didnt lick Trumps arse enough..It was obviously a set up from the start,a performance for Putin.

Whatsinanamehey · 28/02/2025 18:49

Well that was a very uncomfortable scene to witness. It seemed like Zelensky was invited just to be ambushed. Trump and Vance were acting like the mean playground bullies.

Just look at any news website and you can watch the video. The most shocking thing I’ve seen in a long time.

I wish Zelenskyy had just decked the idiot.

Dearover · 28/02/2025 18:51

Draft dodging in the Vietnam war - including Trump himself several times. Dodgy feet.

NeartoNewquay · 28/02/2025 18:51

Absolutely horrific - and massive props to Zelensky for keeping his cool.

How can we donate money to Ukraine?

Yes! It would have been well deserved too.
