Summary

Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.

Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.

During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”

The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.

    Wrote up a summary months ago (with reputable sources!) about this stuff, and was permabanned from Lemmy news and politics for it.

    Idk man, you can tell people stuff, but it’s so hard for them to access what’s real right now. There’s a concerted online effort to suppress factual info.

      That sucks and permabans really shouldn’t be a thing except in extreme causes of threatening to like harm/dox some one and stuff like that. Not seeing where you did anything to get banned at all, but especially not permabanned.

      If Lemmy just ends up being another reddit that’s going to suck so bad.

      hey! I remember you! I saved your whole comment.

      your comment made me think something worse was on the way and made me start to prepare.

      thanks!

      The trouble is that this was probably intentional, you can see the vp is literally an attack dog in this case, but I still think it’s likely that if zelensky stroked trumps ego it wouldn’t have ended that way. It’s like trump is pro Russia but also narcissistic and they are sometimes at odds.
