    it’s shameful.

    POTUS debased himself to yelling political talking points while hosting a leader of a war ravaged country. And Trump did it for the media. No accident Vance was there, his pitbull.

    Not a proud day for our country.

    Zelensky just confirmed his countries death. If he signed the minerals deal then US would be in the occupied region mining materials. That would guarantee no intrusions by the Russians because that would be met with serious firepower and our troops. Zelensky literally has no leg to stand on here.

    Whole WH visit was a staged setup by Trump and Vance. They sucked Zelensky in with the press there. What a couple of jack wagons.

    And Trump, the master negotiator? Laughable. Imagine him listing your house and telling the buyer about all the issues wrong with it.

    I don’t know if I’ve ever been more embarrassed to be an American.

    Hopefully the EU and UK step in because our PoS President and VP are not good rational actors here. They’re bullies, liars, and propaganda artists working, wittingly or not, for the benefit of Russia as it pertains to Ukraine.

    First rule of a good negotiator is walking away from a deal. When Zelensky comes back, and he will because he has to, the deal won’t be as good for Ukraine.

    I like that Zelenskyy said thanks to the American people and not Trump. He’s welcome. Trump looks like a total ass.

    The rest of nato is on its own. Would you trust us at this point?

    They can’t step in. They have the money but not the ability to produce munitions, etc in time for it to make a difference.

    Then choose death. If the US goes into that territory there will no longer be an active conflict.

    If that’s the case then they laid a trap for Zelenskyy and walked into it themselves.

    After that exchange, who can blame him?

    What a couple of school yard chuckle heads. 8th grade bully tactics are not strength. This is disgraceful conduct. That wasn't even a converstaion. That was a planned confrontation to the cult will turn on Ukraine. There was no meaningfull dialogued exchanged. I'm embarrassed.

    As a Realtor you have to disclose all known issues with a property. Trump would do so ....then take that buyers hand and sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

    I think anyone with pride or honor would choose to fight than enter an even worse pact that what was offered where we literally just steal their wealth or something. You are letting your country die no matter what in that case. You have someone on their knees already ready to agree, and then you humiliate them even more. Kick a dog enough, and they will bite back. Better to die free than live a slave.

    The US military was never going in there. The deal Trump wants is just getting a percentage of mineral profits from Ukraine and US helps with rebuilding. Trump wants ZERO security guarantees from the US and there was definitely nothing in there about the US helping Ukraine take back the Russian occupied zones. Stop making stuff up.

    If you're getting raped, you may as well lay back and enjoy it? Is that your stance?

    Not saying military. I said they’d send workers in to start the minerals extraction. Should Russia do something while Americans are there then war would break out. That’s my point. I’m not making anything up.

    was it Zelensky that didn’t sign or wasn’t agreeable to a fair deal? He came to US in efforts of a deal. What was offered or denied? Trump has recently shown appeasement to Putin and his war crimes while at the same time showing animosity to our allies and openly made petty insults to Zelensky.
