re: Zelensky's disrespect is unforgivable. We must not speak with Ukraine until he is gone

No one has down more to remove mutual respect from politics than Donald Trump.

quote:

---

Are you saying that although he's a dictator not worthy of being defended, it's still OK that Trump respects him as "president" of his country?

What a twist that would be...

---

You got ‘em there. But your opinion on this matter is still garbage.

quote:

---

You must not have watched the video then. Trump and Vance were very cordial to Z for the majority of the visit. Z is the one that went off the rails.

---

It’s obvious he didn’t watch the entire press conference and thus he isn’t worth conversing with!

quote:

---

You are a fricking idiot. You are too stupid to be in the conversation. Yes, when leaders meet to discuss issues that literally affect the security and safety of the world, respect is protocol. I'll tell you what. Why don't you run down to the bank and tell the loan officer, I want a loan, you fricking bitch. The only peple who care about respect are intelligent, educated, mature adults.

---

“Awe, look, he dressed up today”. So respectful from Trump right out of the gate.

Let’s stop pretending it had anything to do with respect, as there was none of it from our side as well (Not to mention all of the “he’s a dictator, bla bla bla” leading up to this).

He is a dictator.

Perhaps you should go to Ukraine and fight for Zelensky.

I don't see any of you whining about Elon dressed like a toddler in the same office.

The fact you are equating Zelensky to Elon just shows you only can regurgitate DNC talking points. Please tell me how other than being in the WH are they any way in similar situations. If somebody is doing me a favor I don’t care if they wear a tee-shirt under their blazer. If you want me to fund your rebuild and get peace I don’t show up like a hipster and then talk shite and say I don’t want peace.

He's the president of his country.

Of the most corrupt country in Europe, with a personal history with Trump that is less than glowing!

quote:

---

insofar as taking our money is the disrespect.

---

The real disrespect is him thinking we somehow owe it to them.

I'm not sure what deals he made with previous "leaders" but we dont owe them anything and they would be much better off without our interference.

quote:

---

You have 3 options here if you're Zelenskyy.

A.) Accept a deal fostered by the US, which likey means compromising with Putin.
B.) continue fighting Putin without our money/aid and lose the entire Ukraine to Russia
Or
C.) the US fully engaging in a war with Russia that likely ends in nuclear annihilation of our planet.

Which option seems to be the most reasonable, Kellough?
Zelenskyy has ZERO leverage in this negotiation. It is what it is.

After reading 4 pages of this topic, the thing I find most alarming is that there are people who are actually defending Zelensky and deriding Trump/Vance. Anyone without severe TDS, saw Zelensky try to negioate terms in front of the media. They saw him give a a veiled threat to the USA directly to POTUS in THE OVAL OFFICE. They saw the reaction of his ambassador. And now we know what he said in Russian.

You cannot be on the brink of being a conquered nation, and act this way to the one person who can keep that from happening. The USA has already provided more support than any other country, and is the only country able to bring Putin to the table for peace talks. We have given massive amounts of money and military equipment, and this guy doesn't have the good sense to be extremely grateful. Instead, he insults and argues from an EXTREME position of weakness. My God, Ukraine is force to conscription just to keep Putin from marching into the Ukranian capital! If this is not ended soon, and entire generation of Ukranian males will no longer exist.
