“With all due respect, Putin has broken the ceasefire 24 times—“
“HEY DON’T DISRESPECT AMERICA LIKE THAT”
I always felt like JD has some grounded & based opinions on a lot of things, but that was absolutely emberassing.
SAAAY THANK YOU.
Wherea suit boy?
Not gonna lie, you Americans kind of shat yourself here. Foreign policy is not the strong suit of this administration. Imagine siding with the two God kings of pariah states, Russia and North Korea and coping as “Murica great”. You made Macron look good, ffs.
This subreddit is astroturfed.
Trump said Putin had to put up with the Russia hoax- This is beyond pathetic lol
Putin didn’t care about the American media and their attack on Trump
These comments and likes are so manufactured it’s embarassing. Go look at OPs post history, they hate this subreddit and have barely ever made a comment that didn’t get downvoted.
Could be worse. Could have glazed him and handed him billions.
I have to admit that that was pretty embarrassing
What’s with all these posts by people who have never posted in this reddit before or barely, getting massively upvoted, we being invaded by retards or what’s going on
Go back to /r/politics or else Asmon will continue to broadcast every second of Trump until the mid terms. If you guys keep up the orange man posts, then Asmon is just farming your content.
Uh oh, another eu astroturfer showed up, surely the comments won’t be filled with them as well, right?
JD played himself – Trump can be Trump and we expect it- jd looks like a clown
Oh look, the crybabies are out in full force this morning……scavenging for any tiny scrap of drama to cling to so they can keep whining. Pretty sure that explains most of the replies below!
Why is his face so bloated?
That’s a filter. Stupid post
I am from germany and I couldn’t disagree more. The way this war has been handled for the past 4 years is a disaster. The german economy can not afford to fight an endless war where nobody is proposing any real solution on how to end this war. The european leaders fight this war because they think it is their moral duty to do so and they would sacrifice virtually anything in the hopes that russia will one day just pull out and accept that they were in the wrong. It is not going to happen. Over the last decades we demonized russia, punished them with tariffs and sanctions and kicked them out of our payment systems. They are not going to stop out of some moral obligation that we are trying to push onto them. Basically imagine a bucket full of water and there is a hole at the bottom of the bucket, nobody is trying to actually plug the hole up and everyone is making an effort around refilling all the lost water. With the current trajectory it is never going to end. On the contrary, it is actually us starting to run out of water.
I don’t think Trump is nearly as heartless or dumb as people make him out to be. What he expects is some realistic strategy that will eventually lead to an end of the war, yet seemingly nobody has one that doesn’t just involve russia to surrender. Even this whole exchange feels like a catch 22 scenario where US financial aid was pretty much bound to stop. Either Zelensky would’ve agreed to peace negotiations and Trump would’ve taken all the credit, or Zelensky rejected the peace negotiations and now trump can blame to continuation of the war on him. Still, I assume if Zelensky could’ve proposed some alternative path to an end of the war Trump would’ve been open to negotiations.
I feel bad for the people of Ukraine who are most affected by this, but a war can’t be won on morals alone. Especially if the entire region has a rich history and justifications for war can be found if you just dig long enough into their history, so even if we think Putin is in the wrong, all he has to do to justify the war to his people is dig up some previous incidents between the Ukraine and russia to find a justifaction his own people will accept. What’s more, I assume this war is hurting Europe far more than it is hurting Russia, so there is strategic value for him to continue it. Ontop of it he already agreed to peace negotiations, even if those would’ve been fradulent, at least he has the optics of wanting to end the war in some capacity. On the other hand the European leaders will now shoulder an even heavier financial burden and I expect that the economic situation here is going to get even worse which will in turn lead to a growing frustration of the people, especially if it’s going to be contrasted with america now freeing itself from financial burdens and russia at least openly (even if they are fradulent) asking for peace negotiations.
I’m not a military expert, so I don’t know how realistic this is, but I think that the best option would’ve been to agree to the peace negotiations, concede to some of russias demands, but also put up a hard line that would essentially trigger war with NATO if russia crossed it. After the white house visit broke down Zelensky asked for some kind of insurance in case russia broke the peace again and I think you could have negotiations around that.
Why? Trump holds all the cards at this point. Europe can’t do shit without the US and Ukraine is done without the US.
Biting the hand that feeds (in the billions mind you) actually makes Zelensky the laughing stock, who refuses peace and wants more money like the beggar he is to drag on the war instead of end it peacefully.
The entire talk was derailed because of JD Vance. He clearly didnt have a clue about 2019 and what happened with Russia not following agreements they had signed. Zelensky schooled him on it in front of the world media. He reacted by throwing his toys out of the pram and making it personal.
The Right has always commented on how when the attacks get personal, the debate is lost as the left always turn to using personal attacks. JD Vance did exactly this. He was unbelievably embarrassing and showed a massive lack of experience yesterday.
He isnt fit to be Vice and no way fit to be president after Trump. He needs decades more experience.
You have to remember, the US promised to protect Ukraine if Ukraine gave up their nukes, Ukraine did their part and this is what they get in return… Demands for their resources.
Canadian here and after watching the whole thing, I honestly think Trump and the VP were not wrong.
Somebody watched too much Golden Girls with MeeMaw.
He needs a hat with a spinning propeller and a giant lolipop
Yeah what Trump should have done is give Zelensky another billion dollars. Then the psychopathic demagogues that run the rest of the world would respect this country!
Nahhh. L take.
Bro shit talked trump hard and publicly supported Kamala. obviously trump is gonna take a shit on him and embarrass him.
Why would he bother helping and being nice to a dude who pissed all over him?
Also I’m sick of us Americans being in fucking debt and suffering because our fuckin government won’t stay out of other country problems. It’s about time america worries about itself. I shouldn’t have to suffer because the entire world expects the USA to keep being the world police. Fuck outta here.
This subreddit got hijacked by the lefties again?
No, putting a self-entitled bitch in his place doesn’t make America look weak nor a laughing stock.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the ones who made America look like a fucking joke
JD called out zelensky because he kept rolling his eyes and carrying on I thought the america government handled the situation perfectly.
Trump wants peace just seems nm what the guy does the left will call him on it and make stupid statements like why isn’t he calling out putin and slandering him and why isn’t he on Ukraine’s side…
Are the left retarded in some way you can’t get someone to the table to talk about peace if you’re slagging them and putin respects trump so he’s the only one that has a chance of getting this squared away and making peace.
300b is alot of money guys thats like 10% of the UK debt xD
I missed the interview was it good comedy
What American really cares about Russia or Ukraine? I couldn’t care less. Russia hasn’t been a threat to the United States since the Cold War.
I say we go back to the old days. If you win a war, you get the land. The Geneva convention should leave. Conquering should come back.
Wtf are these stupid posts. Just a bunch of bitter Europeans invading the sub. Lmao
Go fight the war yourselves.
You get mad at us for being world police, then when we don’t want to, you still get mad.
Fuck off. Lol
I am weirded out that they let a journalist asking, “Why aren’t you wearing a suit?” enter the office. Like what? This isn’t a competition to see who can look more ostentatious. The lives of three countries depend on it.
Zelenskyy basically asked for US troops on Ukraine after they had already defined the terms of their minerals agreements and did it in front of the press. That’s why Trump and Vance were so pissed. There was also Zelenskyy muttering cyka (bitch) to Vance. Zelenskyy overplayed his hand so badly that even Lindsey Graham supported Trump.
People need to understand this administration motto is FAFO. Trump literally asked Starmer if the Brittish army could defeat Russia. “No?, then shut the fuck up”.
As an european i agree, right now your government is a laughing stock
