Posting to show that not only US media is seeing it this way. It was a disgrace.

    I have had a low-key crush on Zelensky for about 15 years.

    Nothing has ever made me respect the man more than him standing up to both Trump and Vance. This is a man worthy of praise for his fortitude and his dedication to his people.

    I wish the United States could have a leader even a fraction as strong as Zelensky.

    So trump claimed he would have peace for Israel and Russia within the first day…

    How many days are we in?

    Putting this on national television was a disgrace, of course but also a fascinating insight into cheeto’s “diplomacy”. As expected, of course, there was zero diplomacy, it was all bullying, spouting conspiracy theories l, screeching about demanding respect, it was terrible and if it wasn’t so tragic we could all laugh about what a sad and pathetic little men the cheeto and co are.

    Anyone else noticed a clear link between this and what happened not too long ago with Macron exposing him as the liar that he is in front of everyone by very tactfully and diplomatically fact checking him?

    It really looks like Trump was terrified to get a repeat of that with Zelenskyi so he brought Vance along for backup and then whenever Zelenskyi was about to make a point they’d just speak over him, repeating their own bullshit narrative over and over again.

    It’s pathetic.

    In France it was called an extraordinary meltdown:

    “Earlier Friday, Trump cut the meeting short with Zelensky, said the Ukrainian leader is “not ready” for peace with Russia in an extraordinary meltdown in the Oval Office that threw question marks over chances for a truce”

    https://www.lemonde.fr/en/united-states/article/2025/02/28/trump-and-zelensky-openly-clash-in-heated-white-house-exchange_6738686_133.html

    In Germany it was a shouting match:

    US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office turned into a shouting match.

    If you look at European news sources, it’s filled with representatives from various countries all saying variations of “holy shit, we really can’t trust the US anymore”.

    Winston Churchill was a fucking racist asshole. Not sure he would shed a tear to see this racist clown act like a bully.

    Edit: why was this downvoted?
