Don't do it, Zelensky. Trump is a Russian asset.

The E.U. will have your back.

Putin must be laughing his head off

Man, I want this war over and the US out of it.

But watching our POTUS and VP behave that way on international TV. Even if you support their politics, it's hard for me to understand how all of us are not embarrassed.

I also like that Zelensky didn't just swallow the insults and spoke his piece, because the media is (of course) focusing solely on the preferred Trump narrative.

This article has some of the grossest stuff I've ever heard.

Trump and Vance accused Zelensky of being ungrateful for three years of American support, telling him he was in no position to tell the US how it should feel about it.

Those years of support were certainly due to no thanks to you. You hated every bit of help that was given to them, and now you want them to thank you for it??? I believe the US could go in and do to the Russian occupied territory what the Russians thought they could do to Ukraine and roll them over almost immediately. But instead, this admin is ready to leave them for dead unless they give up their only key to financing their rebuild without foreign "help." This is not seeking cooperation of an ally, it is extorsion.

Trump accuses Zelensky of "gambling with World War Three". He points his finger at the Ukrainian leader.

"What you are doing is disrespectful to the country - this country that's backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have," Trump says.

Zelensky calmly interjects: "I'm with all respect for your country".

Vice-President Vance interrupts: "Have you said 'thank you' once this entire meeting?"

Zelensky replies: "A lot of times".

Vance again says: "No, in this entire meeting, have you said 'thank you'?"

"You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the USA and the president who is trying to save your country."

Zelensky shakes his head and looks away, and says the US will also eventually feel the consequences of the war.

Trump appears visibly frustrated, interjecting: "Don't tell us what we're going to feel. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

"We're going to feel very good and very strong."

Sorry Don, I'm not feeling the alliance here. Never seen him once talk about Putin this way. I do think he's working on an alliance in this war, only it's not from Ukraine.

Hoooly crap he's basically just flat out demanding "KISS THE RING."

And they're dressing down an embattled wartime leader of a sovereign nation like they're friggin' Jeff the GameStop Manager telling a teenager "You should feel privileged that we even gave you a job."

The sheer big baby entitlement, wow. Our country is a global embarrassment right now...

And in social media comments, people are cheering Trump on, like we finally get to see the “real” Zelensky.

…I am so ashamed of my country. Even if it’s a minority, we’ve platformed this kind of thing and swallowed the hook.

Ah it's time for Poland to raise a big stink about the next errant missile and invoke article 5 as the zerg rush red square

"this is gonna be great television, i'll tell you that" - Donald Trump, 025/28/2, he tried to bully Ukrainian president Zelenskyy on live tv

edit should be noted the minerals in ukraine are presumed, theoretical, just what little i know, but this "deal" would allow more U.S. corruption and private interests to head over and start raping the land, looking for a jackpot.
