    Thread title from the Mod as usual is a lie. It should be corrected.

    Yep, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Waters and Sean Hannity all gave it two thumbs up.

    Who are you to call someone comrade? Do you support the Trump admin in the way they negotiate with Russia? If you do you're the real comrade, not him.

    Interesting choice of analogy here. Does that mean the president is a pimp?

    Rubio did not appear amused. He is probably going to need a better poker face if he's going to survive in this admin.

    Just watched the video of the meeting. Zel shows up to a meeting with the most power leader in the world wearing a jogging outfit? Then, instead of a meaningful discussion and exchange of ideas, he repeats the same verbiage and talking points he’s repeated for the last 2+ years.

    I don’t know what Zel expected to accomplish with this approach to the meeting but he apparently had no strategy.

    Give him one year tops. Will probably cite family reasons for resigning.
    His political career is over.

    I don’t know what’s worse; the fact that you think that’s remotely funny or that you’ve sullied one of the great movie characters of all time by using his picture.

    He sent out a gushing tweet praising Trump so he's still playing along whatever he thinks

    Much like the Ukrainian ambassador, Rubio was likely embarrassed for Zel’s and his failure to engage in a meaningful, productive dialogue in the meeting. Realize that Zel campaigned for the Dems last year, likely knowing Trump would force and end to the conflict that Harris would continue to waste money in support of more unnecessary deaths and destruction.


    Rubio praises Trump after explosive Zelensky meeting

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised President Trump after he and Vice President Vance got into a public spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday

    “Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you!” Rubio posted on social platform X. Rubio notably did not include a mention of Ukraine or Zelensky.


    “You (Zelinsky) went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition (K Harris) in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country,” Vance noted at one point.

    Trump, too, slammed Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader suggested the U.S. didn’t “feel” the effects of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.

    Hopefully it gets Europe to step forward and support Ukraine and negotiate a minerals deal for themselves.

    Then Zalenski can tell Trump to pound sand and negotiate with the new admin in 4 years.

    To make the point that they are not giving away their country to terrorist dictators, be they Russian or American (South African), without a fight. And, should the US deprive them of the means with which to fight, the blood of millions of Ukrainians will be on the heads of the terrorist group known as The Republican Party.

    Zelensky had to, but didn’t and maybe he just couldn’t, treat Trump like a child emperor.

    But this was the most likely the outcome no matter what.
