    I couldn’t watch it all. I felt embarrassed. What the fuck does Russian interference in a U.S. election have to do with Russia trying to take over Ukraine?

    Clearly Trump believes he has some friendship with Putin that would influence this whole conflict.

    Wow that went worse than I thought it would. TBH I was thinking he might actually pull off a win here.

    I’m left with my original thought that Trump is actively trying to destroy America. Everything he and Elon are doing seems to be doing nothing but undermine standing and stability. Truly mind bending. I wonder when/if MAGA will snap from the trance.

      That was my take away too, especially side by side with illegally dismantling USAID (and with it, US soft power) and a ton of functional agencies (e.g. NOAA, FDIC) that don’t cost much and protect us both physically and financially. If I wrote a playbook of how to quickly cripple a county, it would pretty much be this.

    I’m so sorry, I’m so embarrassed and not for my country, I don’t even live there. I’m sorry for humanity

    I am going to be the least surprised person in the world when there is a “terrorist attack” against America that gets linked to pissed off Ukrainians.

    America is no longer a soveriegn state, its a meat puppet thats beholden to Corpo-Fascists, Israel, and the Russian Mafia.

    Ukraine might as well terminate relations with the US, and join hands with Europe and get ready for larger war, because thats the only place this is going.

      Trump threatened ww3 several times in the video. That’s what the world needs to take from this exchange.

    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.

      “We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when. But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day!”

      President Zelensky would know that in a ‘diplomatic’ situation of this color his little fit would invite toddler-like retaliation.

      This isn’t unbelievable, If I were Ukraine I would have been insulted by not been invited to the peace talks and would reject any deal the US made at all. This was bound to fall apart.

      Also, Trump is the world’s biggest man-child, he was going to embarrass our country no matter what.

        It’s the public shaming part of it that really makes me angry. Zelensky shouldn’t have to put up with that.

          Unfortunately he’s desperate for help, so dignity goes out the window. Even worse is that these pigs not only are trying to exploit the desperation for economic gain but also want to try and make a show of it for the public in this car crash of a video…

            Hope the EU steps up their help to Ukraine after seeing this.

            Fuck Putin and his nasty little friends.

          Yeah, watching Trump and Vance speak to Zelenskyy was like watching JFK try to talk to those two old grumpy guys on the Muppet show…

    I will never have zelensky’s patience and calmness. If I were in the room, everyone would be wondering who painted the oval office red.

      That’s how you lose with characters like Trump. They’re looking to trigger you into a shit show, and then beat you with experience. You have to stay calm and let them make an ass of themselves. They will eventually get too rash and make a royal fuck up.

    Trump was so backed into a corner he reflexively rambled about Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary Clinton. What a joke. Then doubling down on Vance’s inane rambling about not showing gratitude, channelling peak abusive parent energy.

    All because Zelensky made very reasonable points about requiring guarantees.

    Absolute amateurs.
