Europe, don’t count on America for shit. Do what needs to be done before Ukraine is wiped from the map. They will come for you too.

Americans are cowards for letting Russia take over their country
Murica died with a whimper!
We're dying by a type of asphyxiation caused by sniffing our own farts for almost a hundred years.
The wording is so insane to me. Like he was just begging to sign that deal. lol
There's no way he was going to sign it. He didn't come to the US to sign it. He came here to negotiate into a reasonable deal for both countries. This headline makes it sound like he lost out, and he really didn't. Like, sure, we could have swooped in and helped Ukraine a little more, but in return we would get billions, maybe even trillions in return... It's literally war profiteering out in the open.
That kind of shit used to be illegal and now we have Presidents televising his profiteering... This timeline is fucking nuts.
US assurance means as much as Russian assurance anyways, and US is known to go back on deals they themselves proposed and signed like what they are doing to Canada. So if the US isn't even making a good faith attempt at a deal they likely wouldn't stick to in order to protect Ukraine it just shows how corrupt negotions were from the start.
Ukraine's mineral resources really aren't even that considerable on a global scale. They're not insignificant but their economic value at the moment, even setting aside the war, doesn't have American companies salivating.
This minerals for protection thing apparently was floated by Ukraine first to the Biden administration and Trump campaign. The Biden administration didn't do much with it because, among other things, the actual economic and practical value was questionable.
Trump, on the other hand, just wants to be seen making deals. Zelenskyy and Ukraine first floated the general idea because they knew Trump is highly transactional and it'd give Trump an easy "win."
I highly doubt trillions in profits are anywhere in the mix.
And you don't want to negotiate anything with Trump directly. If Zelenskyy did that intentionally, he dropped the ball. Trump is far too mercurial and often only grasps issues in the most basic of senses. Trying to get into a nuts and bolts negotiation with him is pointless. Hammer that out first, get something signable without too onerous of long term commitments, compliment him, sign, move on.
The Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.
The whole world sees it including the American people who clearly don’t care.
The majority of American voters have shown us who they are evil garbage.
Putin's arm is so far up the orange shitbag's ass that you cam see the fingers waggle eveytime he opens his mouth
Mark my words: Trump will now sign a minerals deal in Ukraine with Putin
Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.
This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.
Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.
France should gift a bunch of nukes to Ukraine. Seriously the EU lacks the manufacturing capacity to properly arm Ukraine without US deliveries and keep their own stockpiles at an adequate levels.
Europe should call ruzi bluff with immediate boots on the ground pushing ruzkies back to the border. Secure the airspace and fucking fry the orcs. Done with minimal european casualties.
Everyone's pissing in the boot while Europe suffers economic and cultural damage that will indirectly kill many more people than a swift defense would have.
I watched this and I found it disgusting. It seemed to me that this was pure blackmail. This American government can't be trusted to keep its commitments and I won't be surprised if he pulls such stunts with Taiwan as well.
I wonder if any other world leader would like to visit the White House and be insulted by this administration !!
I have never been more ashamed to be an American, and have felt like I'm saying this increasingly often. This dude is a man of his people coming to hope and keep aid to be able to fight Putin and these dudes ridiculed and heckled him. They were giving him shit for not wearing a suit. Fucking assholes. Anyone who keeps up knows that's for good reason. He's showing solidarity with the soldiers, his citizens, that are fighting for their god damned homes and families. This deal was never going to go. It was a setup for Trump and Vance to stroke their pathetic micro penis egos. Fucking disgraceful.
For a guy who said he's not gonna start any wars, he sure is acting like a guy who's gonna start a war.
He should fly to Brussels to discuss Europe's offer. They won't tell him repeatedly that he should be more thankful.
I want to be clear this is the doing of Republicans in America they are evil.
It's gonna be interesting watching to see if all the "All Russian people are complicit because they don't rise up and kick Putin out" crowd actually put their money where their mouths are and show them how it's done, or if it was all bluster.
To be clear, I hope it's the former but I think it's the latter.
Honestly, we -- as Americans -- are all complicit.
What is even worse than how embarrassing this is, is that it’s impossible for me to tell if this was Putin’s idea or just a fortunate side effect of his stooge’s lead-addled and dying brain.
Americans, I expect you to fight rhis bully.
Please, grow a fkin pair and start fighting back. You don't want to be regretting your lack of fighting back while you can.
Rage against rhe machine please.
How? Like tell us how. You want us to try and kill people in the streets? Or maybe continue with the protests that are happening? You want us to civil war? I'm just waiting for how us Americans can take out Trump and the republican party. And before you answer look at your country and population and size and compare it to the united states before you say just grow a pair, you can come and suicide yourself trying to take on a assassination attempt if you want, maybe you grow a pair. So if you dont have a real solid plan for how,I don't wanna hear shit from you
"Heated exchange".
What are they talking about?? An exchange requires at least two participants. Zelenskyy was trying to keep it cool while Trump and Vance (mainly Trump) just spoke over him. That wasn't a heated exchange, it was a fucking loser having a tantrum while others watched, not quite believing what they were seeing. Having Trump keep talking about Zelenskyy basically being responsible for his citizens dying and bullets flying etc made me sick. The absolute lack of compassion from this orange twerp is incredible. What a cunt.
Watching that inteview and remembering the first Zelensky's adresses to his and even my russian people early in the war, I was pretty occupied with an idea of how these two numbheads would be good punching bags once I put a trash bag on them and use a duct tape to ensure their breath doesn't leave it, and hitting them repatedly with a fist or some blunt and heavy object. I don't usually accept or encourage violence, but I felt lost watching this shit piece of negotiations and also very, morbidly angry. I couldn't avoid thinking of going physical with them and it probably took a year and a half from Zelensky's tired neurons to keep himself contained until the meeting ended. I'm pretty sure he kicked something after leaving it. I'm sure I would've if I has been him.
