Hell, even a fake one. How would the orange slime know the difference? Slap a medal or two on them, he'd never know.

Please don't make it sound like Zelensky was intimidated into bringing Euro leaders with him. They DEMANDED hlthe2b Aug 2025 #2
I wasn't implying Zelinski was weak. Chasstev365 Aug 2025 #3
Your OP was fine. twodogsbarking Aug 2025 #10
Yeah, I didn't get the impression you made that implication either. NBachers Aug 2025 #13
Please tell President Zelenskyy hello writerJT Aug 2025 #4
Bringing a posse with you drmeow Aug 2025 #7
Of course not. Intelligent. But saying HE was the one to demand the posse is not only wrong but suggests hlthe2b Aug 2025 #8
Nope NBachers Aug 2025 #14
You and I clearly drmeow Aug 2025 #15
NO! It is exactly the framing TRUMP wants to use to paint Zelensky as weak and you are promoting it. hlthe2b Aug 2025 #16
Zelensky totally depends on the help of allied nations. From that point of view, he is weak. Doodley Aug 2025 #22
THAT is not the issue at hand. Zelensky did NOT beg these leaders to come with him. THEY are doing so hlthe2b Aug 2025 #23
I can't see anywhere that says Zelensky begged them to come. Who is doing the misinterpretation? Doodley Aug 2025 #28
Not "European leaders are coming as well," but... hlthe2b Aug 2025 #29
Even if all abandoned Zelensky, he would not yield MerryBlooms Aug 2025 #25
It is just a great strategy when you are up against a bully, whoever suggested it. Doodley Aug 2025 #18
I didn't take it that way either. electric_blue68 Aug 2025 #20
That will be the Trump meme (that Zelensky was too scared to face him alone). As I stated, it is NOT true hlthe2b Aug 2025 #21
I think this will be an utter shitshow for Trump that will make him look weak BECAUSE of the European leaders. . Doodley Aug 2025 #24
On that, we agree. n/t hlthe2b Aug 2025 #26
Ah, got it. 👍 electric_blue68 Aug 2025 #27

He needs to tell tRump no. Blue Full Moon Aug 2025 #9
TrumpenFuhrer isn't going to handle this well. Good. NoMoreRepugs Aug 2025 #11
I'm glad there's a posse coming. Maybe our (this admin) leaders and "diplomats" will be more measured and respectful in liberalla Aug 2025 #12
I hope Trump doesn't try to separate Zelenkski from the other leaders. If they all stay together, it will be a shitshow Doodley Aug 2025 #17
Bring armies and storm the WH.... LeftInTX Aug 2025 #19
