I think the rest of the world should get ready to fight the US.

They are absolutely deranged at this point and a threat to the rest of the world.

Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, what more do we need to cut all ties with it like we did with Russia?

Absolutely disgusting, and an utter disgrace. And, sadly, not surprising in the slightest.

Awesome that Zelensky kept his cool. Almost like he knows what to expect.

Trump and Vance calling him disrespectful, when disrespectful is their default stance, is hilarious.

Dunno, go overseas and tell people you're either Canadian or American and measure the response

I wanted to point out something about what Trump said during that meeting...

“You’re in a bad position right now. You don’t have the cards.”

My understanding is that Ukraine did have the cards, they were called nukes, but they gave them up for peace and guarantees of protection from the United States, and others, against invasion.

And then, they got invaded.

Twice.

Edit2: Always pay attention to what the other hand is doing.

The US will declare war on Ukraine before getting up off their knee's from sucking Putin's knob.

This is just so painful to watch. Embarassing does not even begin to describe it.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Plus 5% of how this would be worse under Harris or Biden.

Looking at their profiles, they don't look like bots to me. Maybe it's just that MAGAs sound as stupid as a bot swarm.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

There's like a stupidly large amount of bots in YouTube comments.

Apparently they encourage engagement. 🤷

True, the likes might be manufactured. Don't count on Google to moderate them

At first, Zelensky rejected the proposal, but the two countries eventually reached an agreement on a revised version. Zelensky traveled to Washington to finalize and sign the deal.

However, tensions escalated when Zelensky tried to explain Russian President Vladimir Putin’s lack of diplomacy to Vice President Vance. Vance accused Zelensky of “litigating” in front of the media and criticized him for appearing in photos with Democrats during the 2024 campaign. He also said Zelensky’s comments were “disrespectful” to the Trump administration.

This sounds just like a setup to humiliate Zelensky and justify this shit to the MAGA brains. Trump and Vance weren't planning on signing the deal. Pure and simple propaganda. But MAGAs don't have enough neurons to see it.

I hope Zelensky travelled all the way there to tell him to go and fuck himself to his face.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The bullshit exchange aside, I want all talks between world and country leaders to be televised in the open like this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If trump is doing it this way, you know he's up to something.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

They 100% planned to ambush Zelensky to make Trump look "tough". This was a pr stunt by Trump. What's amazing is that a solid chunk of people will look at him favorably during this exchange.

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

For Shame...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, him trying to do hardcore protection politics at that point, during a conversation that included talking about World War 3, really disgusted me as well.

I was thinking "Damn, this isn't helping, JD".
