(1,527 posts)It's a case of not only victim blaming, but victim exploitation. Unbelievable, and you wonder why a lot of people think the US is incredibly arrogant. This just amplified that. This is a terrible look.

(1,527 posts)I almost want this happen to happen: If Russia invades Alaska, the US should be forced to not fight and just Russia let take it. I know they won't, but that's the hypocrisy. They would never let Russia do that, but yet when Ukraine is fighting for its survival, they want Ukraine to just surrender and let Russia take Kyiv and Ukraine. Total hypocrites!

I agree with your point though.
tornado34jh
(1,527 posts)Putin himself has said selling Alaska to the US was invalid. But again, if they think Ukraine shouldn't fight for its survival, then neither should the US if Russia invades Alaska. You can't have it both ways.

Europe will keep helping Zelensky. About the nukes threats, they're just threats. MAD is a real thing either with the UK's or France's (or both) stockpiles and pootie's decaying one (not sure what their real state is right now), they're just bluffs.

(3,457 posts)This man was an actor and a comedian. Anyone remember George Carlin? It takes a comedian to understand and be able to relate and understand the cold hard realities of this world. Zelenskyy knows this and is on top of it. Compared to Russian firepower, Ukraine has kicked ever-lovin'-ass!
This is why I admire Bill Burr today. Watch This. It will tell you why. It's only a little over two and a half minutes.

(2,003 posts)Remember?
Trump also withheld aid when trying to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. During a July 2019 phone call, Zelenskyy told Trump he was almost ready to buy more Javelins from the U.S. Trump replied by asking for "a favor," which was to collect dirt on Biden, a potential 2020 presidential race opponent at the time.
In January 2020, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office concluded that Trump abused his power by telling Zelenskyy the U.S. would provide Ukraine with security assistance and he would grant Zelenskyy a White House meeting only if Zelenskyy announced investigations into Trumps political rivals. The House impeached Trump for this matter in 2019; the Senate acquitted him in 2020.
and now he's back.
Karasu
(2,003 posts)It was one of many impeachable offenses, and the fact that he wasn't removed from office is fucking disgraceful.
catchnrelease
(2,148 posts)The original phone call to Zelenskyy was what led to one of t's impeachments. We all know how he holds a grudge, so I'm assuming that that makes trumps hatred of Z even hotter and increases his thirst for revenge. He will use any opportunity to humiliate a perceived enemy and yesterday's drama was a big chance for payback. It was trump that wanted the cameras etc there. So everyone could watch him embarrass Z. But imo he only ended up embarrassing this whole country.

He countered every attack and knew when to retreat. tRump owes putIn for hacking the 2024 election and will NEVER cross rUssia. tRump cant give a **** about America. tRump is obviously for tRump and nobody else. Same as it ever was with this a**hole

kept talking over him and I could have clubbed them in the head for doing that. But,
what can you expect from thugs? It didn't phase Zelensky. Nerves of steel.
I was so proud of him!

(2,888 posts)Trump was offering nothing, and stealing from them. All he'd would have done going forward is yank him around on a chain and look for anyway he could to humiliate and undermine him. It was time to rip off the band-aid.

(16,296 posts)Bluetus
(2,659 posts)He sent his family out of the country. Virtually every "exert" predicted Kyiv would be overrun in a matter of days. Zelenskyy had every reason to believe he would never see his family again and he would be executed by the Russians. That's not hyperbole. That's the way it was. Can you imagine kissing your wife and children goodbye thinking you would soon die? But that was the choice he made for love of country.
Those 2 motherfucerkers who attacked him yesterday will never have the tiniest fraction of the courage, intellect, or decency that is in every cell of Zelenskyy's body.
