    It was a very nasty setup, they practically tried to present Zelensky as a thug of sorts.

    It’s like the US administration is made of amateurs who are just now discovering that Russia is untrustworthy and is playing US presidents to further its goals, like they faked friendship with Bush in the 2000s when they were weaker.

    With that being said, the US is still helping Ukraine defend itself, but it’s much more transactional now.

      Only because they don’t have the juice to withdraw support entirely. They will if and when they are able.

      That is what this greenland thing is about, it’s an excuse to end Nato, attempting to get the support they need by getting that territory in a nationalistic fervor, and also trying to increase the military budget by 50% to 1.5 trillion to make up for lost European arms sales.

        It’s a gif from a saved file. Not sure if it’s difficult for others, but on my phone I have a keyboard (FUTO) that gives me the option to upload from my saved files.

    Good. Europe must help Ukraine. Don’t trust Trump. He doesn’t have Ukraine’s best interests in mind.

    God. Just thinking about how much our country has changed even just since the first Zelensky White House appearances…

    This is just sad, isn’t it?

      Trump is a giant asshole, even demanding a 10% surcharge on weapons bought by NATO allies to support Ukraine!!
      USA is not an ally at all anymore because of Trump, he is just monetizing and exploiting the situation. Absolutely zero sense of friendship or protecting democracy or the free world or even allies, that have now become former allies.

      Trump does not deserve a thank you, but Zelenskyy thanked Trump and USA many times anyway. But the time of sweet talking Trump and USA is running out. They are not helping, and are no longer needed, and Trump is making USA irrelevant.

        It’s worse than that, he’s actively hostile to Nato, and Ukraine. He is conpromised by Russia, and Israel, at a minimum. So obviously, as if the Helsinki hootenanny didn’t make it obvious his first term.
