What did he say negative toward our country or our leaders? Please tell me.

They should have just said this instead of the dog and pony show for the media.

"We're not going to commit to fighting a war with Russia to defend you. You need to make concessions and negotiate for peace. We will not be providing you any more help if you don't."

That would have been much more constructive than the performance they put on.

Disagreeing about whether you can trust Putin is not disrespectful to the US….well unless….nevermind.


Your saying that Trump should agree that we can't trust Putin?

Nevermind the fact that the President of Ukraine just said that he doesn't trust Putin, totally sabotaging any hope of a peace deal in front of the one man who can negotiate that!?


You are mentally retarded.

I said he was airing grievances. Was he, or was he not?

If you listened to Ukranians (not just Zelensky) talk about the mineral deal, it was *always* about security for them.

Now do JD Vance talking about Zelensky meeting with Kamala. Then do Trump talking about Russiagate.

It's bizarre to me that you guys keep accusing Zelensky of doing what JD and Trump were doing.

Nope. Never said they had to agree. Still doesn’t make it disrespectful to Trump or the US.

The difference is that the US is the POWER. The people with power have that luxury. The ones who are asking for help don't.

He's been saying that since forever so that didn't sabotage anything.

From Trump's perspective, the response could have just been "There's trust issues between the two parties that we need to work out so that we can have a peace deal both sides will agree to." Easy.

Trying to ignore what everyone on all sides knows is true doesn't really help negotiations. Better to get it out there and work through it.

The U.S. arguably shares a border with Russia through Poland, Lithuania, Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia, countries that we are treaty bound to protect. Sounds like the U.S. could be affected by Russia.

Why would airing grievances about an invading country and their leader be disrespectful to Trump? Unless….nevermind.

In front of the media and the whole world to witness? I appreciate the fight in you but I'm marking this as a win.

Yeah…in front of Trump. Unless Putin is trumps best bud, why would that bother him?

Zelensky, Trump and Vance all aired grievances. So what's the problem? It was done in front of the media because that's what Trump wanted, not Zelensky.

No it was done in front of the media, because that is how Oval Office head of state meetings are initiated.

Another element as to how Oval Office head of state meetings are orchestrated is they follow a string of preceding diplomatic contacts as did this one.

Those preceding meetings were prequel forums for Zelenkyy's catastrophic Oval Office performance. There were 1000 different responses Zelenskyy could have registered. He chose public belligerence --- Arms folded, eyes rolling, interrupting, raising his voice, etc.

To the extent Trump wanted the public to see what Bessent and Vance saw two weeks ago, perhaps it was a ploy. Regardless, it was ultimately Zelenskyy's doing (undoing). Not Trump's.

In the past, invited guests to the White House would be treated kindly as one does for an invited guest.

And guests whose nations survival is reliant on over a 100 billion of US tax payer $s may want to be gracious to the host.
That is unless the guest is fleecing the host by corruptly wasting the hosts $.

It's so horrible that we finally have a president willing to demand accountability and not give away all of our wealth.

Remember when everyone was told that Biden was the best choice for president because of his foreign diplomacy skills? And then Biden gave Putin permission for a small invasion? And then Putin invaded? It really sucks we don't have those great negotiation skills in the office now. With Trump, we might actually get something in return for ending the war, and that's just terrible.

"I bet you guys blame Poland for starting WWII.

"There's nothing to walk back anyway. Zelensky's opinion --that if we don't stop Putin now, we will be dealing with him in the future-- is a reasonable and valid opinion.

Trump's position that he isn't worried about Russia regardless of what happens in Ukraine is also a reasonable and valid opinion.

I don't see how either of these things are controversial or worth going off about."

There is everything to walk back. The European Union believes that the US will be dealing with Russia on the behalf of Europe. Europe is aware of the threats and believe that the US will save them once again. Europe should not bite the hand that protects them. Europe is the petulant child who hates, looks down and bad mouths the parent until they need help. Well, Europe will needs to step up and stand on their own.
