Comrade Krasnov also said in that absolutely horrendous staged attack on Zelensky that Zelensky met with Harris. I think Krasnov said Zelensky endorsed Harris but I can’t watch that again to confirm what he actually said. So grievance baby is mad about 2 things.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”

We are mortified by the behavior of Donald Trump and JD Vance. The spectacle that you had to endure was disgusting and opprobrious. Those two don’t know the meaning of respect nor are either of them humble in any way. They are vulgar and vile and represent a minority of our country. We are so sorry you were put through that. You and your country deserve so much better than we as a country gave you today. Shame on us all for allowing this to continue.

Zelensky refuses US offer to evacuate, saying ‘I need ammunition, not a ride’.

He said this as thousands of Russians soldiers were coming to kill him and were less than
100 miles away and he rallied his people and the world with his courage he is the real deal.
Krasnov is just a traitor to America and works for Putin and Musk.

This what real heroes look like.

The only way to fight back is with our money. Only spend what you need to. When the revenus fall, they will come for his head. I even think we should have a national strike/work stoppage. Government of the people, by the people, for the people

Trump has made us a much more patriotic country and I guarantee after this disgusting display of Trump’s kissing the ass of Putin, most countries around the world are likely to see the same patriotism, just like Germany. I hope the US people make the decision to fight back in a meaningful way.

Not the traitorous orange felon who occupies the office in violation of the 14th amendment. President Zelenskyy has defended his country heroically from those who sought to destroy it and kill he and his people. The orange felon ORCHESTRATED an insurrection against ours in which those he summoned killed Americans. 🤬
Zelenskyy embodies the principles that make America great: courage, selflessness, care for the people he serves, and integrity. His opposite number embodies Putinesque evil. Zelenskyy deserves honored whereas Agent Orange deserves life in Leavenworth. 😡

Nothing short of an absolute disgrace and an utter embarrassment. TSF needs to go NOW! Everything about this administration is untenable. Even in the short term. And it will get worse. Much worse. All of my positive thoughts are with President Zelenskyy and the Ukraini people.

Two spoiled rotten rich kids are not only ruining this country but, they are also well on their way to destroying whatever alliances we have had and enjoyed up until now. This is sickening.

125. Americans should start wearing Ukraine colors

There had been bipartisan support for Ukraine until Fascist Felon made forty percent of America haters. I say the majority of the American people support Ukraine because they NEVER wanted this war or the occupation of their territory by a tyrant thug. If Ukraine falls, WE ALL FALL DOWN also. It is becoming more apparent than ever, dumbo colluded with Russia from the beginning. He lies and lies and lies, like an energizer bunny. He keeps on lying. I, for one, do NOT want America to fail. WE must fight for our Democracy. Stand with Zelensky. I am proud of him. He stood his ground.

For standing up to the world's bully, to Puti's Puppet. Thank you for not selling your country out for the dirt under your feet.! Trump & Vance's price for peace was too damn high. The world is applauding you along with The People of the United States. What they offered was not a plan for peace. It was blackmail by ambush! Fuck Trump and Vance!

81. Yesterday Trump Was Boasting About
Fri Feb 28, 2025, 05:12 PM

How it was his Javlin missiles that knocked out Russian tanks that kept Russia from swiftly defeating Ukraine. Today he was blaming "dumb" Joe Biden for arming Ukraine, otherwise the war would have been over in two weeks (with a Russian victory).

So, what happened in that timespan that changed the messaging so sharply? Why did Trump want the deal canceled that he negotiated on minerals, creating a need for an ambush to get that job done? Putin didn't want the deal to go through so he called Trump and ordered it to be killed. And the rest is history.

This will blow up in Trump's face big time.

When Shady Vance asked President Zelenskyy "Did you ever say 'thank you'?", I would have laughed my ass off had Zelenskyy asked Vance "Do you ever take that orange mushroom out of your mouth?" My bet is a much cruder version of that line probably crossed Zelenskyy's brain during that meeting.

A bad deal is ALWAYS worse than no deal. President Zelenskyy should immediately enter negotiations with EU nations and Canada for a gas and minerals deal that supplies Europe and is fair to Ukraine. The money from a gas and minerals deal with the EU and Canada can help Ukraine continue the fight.

I can only hope this motivates Europe and other countries to step up assistance in our absence and is another drop in the bucket of people eventually rejecting MAGA and Trumpism.

I urge everyone to support Ukraine however they can. If their country goes down, so will Europe.
We've seen this playbook before, and millions died. If anyone starts WWIII it will be Trump and Putin.
Thank goodness the UN and EU are standing strong. I hope it's enough.

The other two looked like petulant over stuffed brats. I feel this will work out better for Europe and Ukraine in the long run. They will not be beholden to America, and when they win the victory will truly be theirs. On our own accounts though, we must keep the pressure up on the people making this mess in our own country. More pressure.

Zelenskyy stood his ground, to his credit, but it was an effort.

The level of disrespect shown him was astounding. And unexpected.

The video made its way around the world.

No one has said anything good about it.

Can FOX somehow twist this into a victory for Trump?

Trump's attitude: Be grateful, give up chunks of your original territory, let me mine lots of minerals, and you will have peace.

Vance: Yeah, what he said!

Zelenskyy: We want the borders back to where they were, and Russians to get off Ukrainian soil.

And I say: Russia started this, Russian reparations for the damage done to Ukraine are required.
(And I'm hoping the rest of Europe sees it my way.)
