Welp, ICYMI [in case you missed it] Trump just had a goddamned meltdown, hollering while he tried to shake down Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Ukraine’s minerals like a bully trying to take a kid’s lunch money. Trump was hoping to declare FLAWLESS VICTORY and ART OF THE DEAL over Ukraine’s mineral rights, but tough shit! Zelenskyy left there without signing any deal, not even a face-saving Canada/Mexico kind of one, and apparently nothing was achieved other than Trump threatening to abandon Ukraine and looking like a dick idiot in front of the world. What else is new?
Here’s the full 45 minutes, if you want your eyeballs to melt into your brain. And here’s a transcript for HOLY SHIT.
Quick backstory, when Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest collection of nuclear weapons in 1994, it was because Russia agreed to stay the fuck out of there and not engage in economic coercion, and the US, UK, and France agreed to come to Ukraine’s aid if Russia didn’t stick to that agreement. But in 2014, Putin declared the deal void, occupied Crimea, and Russian-backed separatist forces began fighting to take the Donbas in Ukraine, too. But the Russians were unsuccessful, and negotiated a ceasefire through the Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015. However, a Pooty promise is worth jack and shit, and Russia began that full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years and four days ago.
So today Zelenskyy met with Trump, flanked by pile of asshair JD Vance. Trump started off by being a demeaning asshole as soon as Zelenskyy stepped out of the car: “Oh look. He’s all dressed up today!” (He doesn’t seem to have minded when Elon Trump showed up to preside over his Cabinet meeting dressed in a “Tech Support” T-shirt and trucker cap.) It was all downhill from there.
A reporter asked Trump if he was too aligned with Putin. Because yeah, claiming that Russia did not invade Ukraine and that Zelenskyy is some kind of dictator suresounds like Putin is attached to Trump’s brain like some kind of space slug, even if a few days later Trump denied he said it. (“Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next question.”)
Just a reminder that when someone tells you that "Zelensky is fighting for his country", fighting in this context means turning the country into a mass prison that people can't leave (but still try, by " illegally" crossing the border) and that are kidnapped off the streets, forcefully put into vans by masked people and sent to the meatgrinder. After you reply with an accusation of me spreading Russian propaganda, feel free to familiriaze yourself with what word became the "top word" in Ukraine in 2024 according to "the dictionary of modern Ukrainian language". After that take a look at people volunteering to fight for Zelensky's regime https://uadraftmuseum.ch/ .
Please don't support mass murderers like Zelensky who kills and terrorizes millions of people.
.ch has been of a rising interest to Chinese domain investors for several reasons. According to EuropeID.com, the domain .ch still has many valuable English keywords and short letter and number combinations left.
A contributing factor may be because the majority of .ch registrations are in German, leaving many English words available.
Yes, that's me. Liberals literally support my country being turned into a mass prison where people are kidnapped and sent to die on a daily occasion, so yeah libs are pretty terrible people
it's unpleasant to read this kind of discontent but we shouldn't push it aside just because it's disagreeable
Gradually, however, he became disillusioned. The battle was furious. “The Russians would smash our positions to the ground,” he said. Senior Ukrainian commanders gave unrealistic orders. Then, while he was defending a ruined building, a panel fell on his shoulder. After receiving injections to reduce the pain, he was told to return to the front. “I realised I’m nobody. Just a number,” he said.
The issue of desertion has made headlines in Ukraine. Last week the government launched an investigation into the 155th Mechanised Brigade. Fifty-six soldiers disappeared while training in France. Hundreds of others are said to be missing. The unit’s commander, Dmytro Riumshyn, was arrested. He faces 10 years in jail for failing to carry out his official duties and to report unauthorised absences.
For the past month, the 31-year-old photographer from Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, has been holed up in his flat, rarely stepping outside, to avoid being conscripted into the army. “I want to leave the country. My mind can’t take being trapped here any more,” Dmytro said.
Since the start of the war, thousands of Ukrainian men have illegally crossed the Ukrainian border to dodge conscription, despite a nationwide ban prohibiting men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving.
OP, i feel your pain. This feeling of helplessness is not easy to deal with. When I watch that video I feel nothing but respect for Zelenskyy. The man, for the love of Ukraine, found in himself the force to thank those scumbags. What a shame for the whole humanity!
Yeah, it's either "spreading Russian misinformation", "Russian bot" or "Russian troll". All of that while supporting a man that tries to kill me and everyone I know. And libs are surprised when people hate them. shrug
Wow that is exceptionally more cringe and delusional than I was expecting. And my expectations of right-wing Libertarians. Being oxymorons in and of themselves is always very low. But you managed to surpass those low expectations and go lower.
Is he trying to kill you or is he trying to prevent a mass exidious that would leave the country weak and defencless against a psychopathic dictator? When your country is at war, in a fight for its very survival, some sacrifices of personal liberties are expected.
