Someone needs to end the reign of Trump. What a waste of energy, piece of shit. Burn in hell.

Someone close to him needs to do something, for the good of the entire world.

Zekensky a man of honour.

Trump a man of pure shit.

I just watched the last half of the full meeting. Zelensky asked what guarantees there are the Russians won't just invade again. The subtext of which is an offer to house US troops in Ukraine. But all the fucking clown car heard was a challenge to their machismo.

So they shouted him down and just loudly asserted he would either sign their deal or fight it out. Along the way they manage to insult him by treating him like a child and pretending that previous broken agreements, (invasion of Crimea, Invasion of Donetsk, and Invasion of Ukraine) were because Putin didn't respect the American President enough. But Putin is also the victim in all of this according to Trump.

I've seen better diplomacy from a high school football team.

For more subtext, if there were any real guarantees then this would not have happened in the meeting with the press. Zelensky would have told reporters there were guarantees. This entire blow up means that Trump already told him there would be no guarantees other than the honor system. Which, even if Trump is right, (Putin respects Trump and won't invade while he's president), Zelensky knows that means Putin will invade again in 2028 after Trump's term is over. And that's without getting into all of the implications about Putin holding this over Trump's head for concessions so Trump can appear to be the peacemaker.

I agree with Trump on one thing. We're fucking around with World War 3, but Trump isn't a peacemaker, he's Chamberlain. Right down to berating the leaders who are asking for help to stop the aggressive country.

Trump is such garbage. There is never a time when he doesn't act like a spoiled child.

Did Trump inject the word ‘dictate’ in there so he could justify calling Zelenskyy a dictator?

[–] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 91 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The audacity of Vance to demand gratitude whilst twisting the knife they implanted in Zelensky's back...

For Shame...

As a real American I am embarrassed and very sorry to Zelenskyy and all the people of Ukraine.

Trump is such a disgusting thing

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 72 points 23 hours ago (7 children)

This is unfucking believable. If I were zelensky I would've stood up and spit in Trump's and Vance's stupid fucking faces and walked out.

I find it really interesting that almost all of the recent comments on the YouTube video are 95% the same and praising "how great all this transparency" is, completely drowning out all other comments. They're also worded very very similarly.

If anyone had doubts about the US switching to Russia's side, this is it.

The US is already suspending help to Ukraine.

Trump: "just cease fire, bro"

Zelensky: "any security guarantees?"

Trump: "just stop shooting bullets, bro"

Zelensky: "we're defending our c..."

Trump: "YOU'RE LITERALLY WORLD WAR 3 RIGHT NOW"

I'm actually hoping for a coup by the military industrial complex
