I guess part of this was just to humiliate Zelensky, as it becomes obvious that reports that Trump hates him are true.
I think this whole thing today was a planned ambush. Not sure if Trump or Vance planned it. It's just sickening. Zelensky made a mistake engaging with these putin-collaborating toddlers. https://kyivindependent.com/zelensk...AJw5n9vaHJg_uSaKuQ_aem_zIIaAUfG8hwfnIWA8RCOKA
Im sorry just a hunch based on I heard trump has off to Florida and that the Ukrainian team wanted to restart discussions?
Oh Putin will get cut in. Trump was already getting ready to make a deal with Putin, probably the involving taking Ukraine and halfing mining rights.
Trump's favorability among his own base plummeted when he said Vance was his running mate. It was and is a shitshow. Vance has no real say in anything. I think once Trump dies the cult dies. There isn't really anyone who has been elected (see how i exclude Musk, who would never win a fair election) or anyone in his family or inner circle that will have the pull he does. It dies with him.
They did this deliberately. Putin has clearly ordered Trump to isolate America so that he can attack Europe. The next step will be pulling out of NATO.
I know Trump, Vance and Putin are awful and that will be the story, but man I hope Zelenskyy has some honest people around him, the type that will tell him that it's a bad idea to get baited into a debate on live TV in your second language by an argumentative millenial prick barely relevant to the negotiations.
Putin doesn’t have enough army left at this point to take on Europe in a conventional war. In a couple of years? Sure. Europe had better get busy building their forces up. Hard to believe one demented, dyed-blonde, orange-skinned, no-conscience, prick could cause so much trouble for the world.
New York Times: If Roosevelt had ordered Churchill to make peace with Hitler on any terms and hand over half of Britain's coal reserves to the US for nothing in return, it would have approximated what Trump did today.
This morning, Senator Lindsey Graham posted a video of how excited he was that Zelenskyy was here and how much he admires Ukraine president. After Trump reality TV, Graham said Zelenskyy must resign. Senator Roger Wicker poster a tweet this morning of himself shaking hands with Zelenskyy and saying it was an honor to meet him. After reality TV he took it down and wouldn't reply to media requests for comment. As a Senator, Marco Rubio had been a strong supporter of Ukraine. Today he issued a statement in support of dear leader that could have been written in North Korea. A representative of Russian state TV was there live streaming the reality TV show. Afterwards, White House press secretary didn't know who he was or how he got there. Because people just stroll into the Oval Office all the time.
