Zelensky was absolutely mauled by that prick Trump and Vance. They’re trying to pillage Ukraine and are holding them to ransom. EU need to up their game and support Ukraine more and US told to offski!

I thought the opposite.

 

Zelensky came across as a disrespectful person.  
 

Show a bit of humility to the ones trying to help you.

Some of what Zelensky tried to say was lost in his Grasp of English even though it’s probably better than mine? Both of them were having a go at him with Vance trying to look the big politician in front of Trump. They wouldn’t let him speak because he never bowcowed to them. They showed him no respect at all, he’s a leader of a small nation at war( Trump got a fictitious doctors sick chit so he wasn’t called up to fight?) Trump is dancing to Russia’s tune because of what he can get from them? Putins probably promised him the earth -literally and they’ve decided they can carve up Ukraine between them only Zelensky isn’t falling for it. Trump is exaggerating on what the USA have given to Ukraine since 2014, my understanding is that’s it’s around $135 billion, not 400 and odd as he claims.

Are they really trying to help him though? They want him to surrender a good chunk of his land to Russia and give 500 billion in minerals plus the rights to loads of other stuff to the US in payment. I can see the Trump Plaza Kyiz video waiting in the wings.

Is this surprising given the price america exacted for winning the war in europe, not to mention owning Japan.

[Mesterh]

Its what the US do, they make lots of money from war and lots more from the aftermath of war. Someone in the US will be drafting up the plans to rebuild a trillion dollars of infrastructure in Gaza and Ukraine as we speak.

To be honest he didn't actually get a chance to speak, shouted down by the pair of them. Remember who is the guest in whose house here - if I had a guest over to just so me and Mrs could shout at them (that is how the press conference appeared) then I'd be asking who has the respect? Vance was pre-loaded with the question, came from nowhere, with the intention of humiliation.
