Zelenskyy’s visit to Pennsylvania weapons factory upsets speaker as Trump continues attacks on Ukrainian president
The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has demanded that Ukraine fire its ambassador to Washington as the feud between Donald Trump and Volodymr Zelenskyy escalated and Republicans accused the Ukrainian leader of election interference.
In a public letter, Johnson demanded that Zelenskyy fire the Ukrainian ambassador, Oksana Markarova, over a visit to a munitions factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, last week where the Ukrainian president thanked workers for providing desperately needed shells to his outgunned forces.
Johnson complained that Markarova had organised the visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant as a “partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats”. The event was attended by the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who has campaigned in support of Kamala Harris.
“I could fire him, but I’m going to need you to do us a favor.”
I don’t get how people honestly think Trump is Putin’s bitch. Trump is a malignant narcissist and impossible to be “handled”. He’ll throw anyone and everyone under the buss and had no problem escalating with Russia. The thing is that Trump like his base simply don’t give a shit about any Slavic people, even if they’re married to one. The republicans are simply not susceptible to the “justice and democracy” nonsense the liberals are selling. So Trump does whatever serves Trump and he had no problem arming the worse of the far right elements in Ukraine:
From this
Manafort duly resigned, and the RussiaGate racket erupted–a connivance that went some way to ensuring the “pro-Ukrainian agenda in American foreign policy” wasn’t compromised one iota.
Indeed, Trump’s term in office was typified by ever-escalating hostility between Washington and Moscow, the Oval Office resident going to dangerous lengths his predecessor had consistently refrained from to arm and galvanize the most reactionary and violent elements of the Ukrainian armed forces, including the notorious Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, and tear up Cold War arms control treaties, much to Moscow’s chagrin.
I don’t get how people honestly think Trump is Putin’s bitch.
Don’t you?

You must be a dumbass then.
Throwing people under the bus is what bitches do. Trump is one of the biggest bitches in the world lol
Kyles mom has finally been dethroned
So they’re traitors AND cry babies.
He’s still upset Zelenskyy didn’t falsify evidence about Hunter Biden for him.
And then told congress about the attempted extortion, which got Trump impeached for election interference
“Perfect phone call.”
“official presidential duties”
Not everything is about our fucking election. One side wants to continue funding Ukraine and the other side
wants Russia to winwants to stop funding. What does that have to do with the election? Where was this talk when Trump, not even an elected official, had Viktor Orbán over?Nobody complained about Orban because nobody likes Orban.
Trump’s also an ex president, unfortunately.
Forever stain on the USA
Agreed
no Republicans were invited
So? Why would they invite the assholes trying to sabotage everything? Putin wasn’t invited either.
Also the Democrats who were there are currently in office one being the Governor. It’s his job to meet with diplomats sometimes and do that kind of stuff so wtf.
They act like babies and then clutch their pearls when not allowed at the adukt table. Same people who rail against benefits but go back to their states and take credit for any improvements. Gross people all around.
I first didn’t think much of it, but now I am realizing that this visit shows how Republicans lie that Biden is just dropping pallets off dollar bills into Ukraine, when in reality majority of it actually stays within US, creating jobs, and apart from artillery shells majority of production is to replenish US stocks, because we are giving Ukraine equipment that was close to expire.
This lie being exposed is the real reason why Mike is upset.
“We don’t invite Russian assets” QED
I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.
Zelensky is the better man.
“lol no”
Amongst all of the Republican insanity of recent years, the thing that definitely stands out to me the most, as the weirdest, is their slavish subservience to Putin.
I understand it from an extremely cynical point of view, but still, it’s just so weird snd so directly contrary to everything they’ve ever claimed to stand for. It’s hypocrisy and malfeasance and amorality and pathetic subservience all rolled into one and cranked up to 11.
We don’t call him Moscow Mitch for nothing
Because the Russians hacked the RNC servers in 2016. They have all the dirt on them and then some.
Russians bugged the golf carts at Trumps courses way before that.
And they have the Trump pee tapes too
Trump-Zelenskyy feud
Which is synonymous with Putin-Zelenskyy feud. I don’t think anyone is surprised that Putin’s bitch is doing Putin’s biding.
Ironically,.not many people would’ve known about this. Now they do and hiis behaviour paints the Republican Party poorly. it is such a very normal and inconspicuous thing,.and then he does this,.making me wonder wtf is up with him and that party.
Watching our senators and congresspersons in how they respond to Ukraine and simultaneously how they respond to Israel is absolutely sickening. We’re not Russia but it seems like our representatives want us to be just as authoritarian, just as ruthless, just as disconnected from reality. I know it’s not the whole of the house, but the bad apples are the loudest.
Go jerk off with your son Mike Johnson.
Jesus christ everything is election interference for them. Jesus himself could came back and praise Bill Clinton and they’d claim that’s election interference
Of course! He was a dark skinned, long haired immigrant who talked about being decent to each other and how being rich was wrong.
Can’t have that in Murrica!
Oh they’d crucify that dude all over again.
Okay, I might be oversimplifying a bit here, but is the speaker of the house escalating global tensions simply because he wasn’t invited to a party?
I highly doubt it because he’s got to he accustomed to that this late in his sad life.
