    Zelensky should be commended for the simple fact that he didn’t punch trump square in the jaw as soon as he was in the same room with him. God knows I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself if I ever had the opportunity.

    “disrespected the the United States of America in the cherished Oval Office.”

    He would definitely know.

    A stupid person( Krasnov Trump ) is the one who boasts he can end a war (not ceasefire) in 24 hours but fails to do it like a loser.

    That was physically painful to watch. It’s beyond comprehension that snake oil seller became president. TWICE.

    Europe, I hope it’s not needed, but prepare as if WWIII is coming. I don’t know if this time US will be an ally or not.

      Yeah I literally couldn’t finish it as my blood was boiling. What giant fucking pieces of human garbage both Trump and Vance are.

      I refuse to believe the american people will let him sit for four years. It’s just impossible to fathom that a single person can still defend this walking piece of wasted oxygen.

      I feel truly sorry for all of you having to live in the US of today. Please don’t give up on your decency, solidarity and humanity.

    International politics is now like hunger games. One side has all the resources but no decency and the other side all the decency but no resources. Will the audience throw the decent side enough of their scraps for David to win over Goliath? Find out next week on ‘everything sucks & humanity is doomed’!

      “Just say thank you.” Good god. I would have loved to see Zelenskyy lay Vance out for that, Buzz Aldrin style. But because he’s a superior human being to everyone else in that room, he did not.

    There is an alternative unviserse in which Zelensky did the world a service and has beaten up trump after that and gave him an atomic wedgy. It is sadly not our Timeline.

    The scuffle began following Zelensky’s answer to US Vice President JD Vance comments that Ukraine must agree to U.S. peace terms.

    When Zelensky began to respond, Trump said, “You are not allowed to talk.”

    Holy shit the sociopathic arrogance of Trump and Vance is horrifying, but this was the cherry on top.

    “It’s going to make great television,” Trump said after the argument. The press briefing ended shortly.

        Gloating that you were right at the end of the world. What a strange flex.

        I’m going to assume you don’t have a strong grasp of just how fucked the electoral college and voter rights are in the US.

        I don’t expect you to read those. Because you’re lobbing easy potshots and offering no constructive criticism in response to my admittedly frustrated sarcastic comment.

        These are for people that are interested in understanding the problem and would like to organize grass roots efforts to combat it.

        I’ll post organizational resources when I get to my desk.

          Oh, I have a pretty good grasp of how the messed up, charred remnant of an electoral system the US has works. Turns out you don’t get to ignore the intricacies of US politics because every now and then those idiots do something like this and make it your problem. Plus thanks to cultural imperialism the media we consume includes more insider breakdowns of that stuff than of our own political system. Welcome to the cultural colonies, friend.

          For the record, I’m not gloating about being right, although I was right. But since I didn’t get to vote or campaign or otherwise participate in you wrecking our entire thing as collateral damage, impotently giving you crap about it is the only piece of agency I really have on this. As far as I’m concerned, you all did this, as a group, and the survivors are going to be hearing about it from the other survivors for a very long time. You know how chauvinists keep bringing up how the French were cowardly or the Germans were nazis when there’s any good spirited ribbing across cultures even though it was almost a century ago? Well, that’s you now. Because what else can everybody else do.

          I mean, I will do my best to keep my own country from following suit, for what it’s worth, including any type of tactical voting for anybody who isn’t an outright fascist and has a chance at stopping them. But I was going to do that anyway, so it doesn’t really count.

          Best not keep him from the war.

          I do hope that this results in Europe’s leaders understanding the importance of finding a way to end the Trump regime. But he just seems so entrenched. Roy Cohn taught him well (their reluctance is understandable).

          It’s going to be a long road.

    This whole situation is absolutely fucking mortifying, genuinely. I can’t honestly think of another instance in which we’ve pulled such a rapid, bad-faith, ill-advised, and idiotic about face in terms of foreign policy.

        Hopefully, he’ll have hurt and killed enough people that his popularity goes down somewhat. But he’s always gonna have the Nationalist Christians / Dominionists on his side - that needs to be addressed from a societal angle

    Are you kidding, that was fucking legendary. I’ve never seen anything like that before in my entire life. In the Oval office Zelensky told Trump and Vance they were full of shit, bullies, and simping for Putin. Based Zelensky.
