Damn. That video is hard to watch. It's clear Zelensky is at a grave disadvantage because American English is not his first language.

It would be way easier for him to reason with these people and get his message out if he could just talk like a normal American.

He's not able to explain what's actually a very simple and clear concept: the US gave Ukraine security guarantees that it did not fulfill. Then he gets steamrolled by people who can speak English better than him and all he can do is sit back and watch.

This is not true. Zelenskyy made himself very clear: It is absolutely justified to question the value of diplomacy (2014 to 2022, covering 3 presidents) if it leads to more violence and annexation.

Trump's first language is english yet he's the one who could not articulate a single thing to guarantee lasting peace adhered to by putin. Instead he talked about the investigation of his russian ties as something that traumatized both him and putin. The guy is so demented at this point, he's really letting the truth slip out.

If anyone had doubts about the US switching to Russia's side, this is it.

The US is already suspending help to Ukraine.

The bullshit exchange aside, I want all talks between world and country leaders to be televised in the open like this.

If trump is doing it this way, you know he's up to something.

I hope Zelensky travelled all the way there to tell him to go and fuck himself to his face.

Diplomacy by reality TV—Trump's Oval Office antics are reckless on the world stage.

😾😾

This hurt me to watch and it hurts me to see people supporting Trump's actions.

Suppose for whatever reason that you do disagree with providing more aid. Was humiliating the leader of another nation in this manner justified at all? Were these the actions that any reasonable, dignified leader would make? You could have just refused to meet with him and told him no. Instead they dehumanized him, made him grovel and beg for support from their king full well knowing he was just going to say no anyways.

I keep trying to look for some good in the people of this nation, to see that there's still some humanity left, but I don't think there is at this point.

This was absolutely insane. This is what happens when the empire no longer needs you.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 10 points 1 week ago

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.

Did Trump inject the word ‘dictate’ in there so he could justify calling Zelenskyy a dictator?
