[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[dejavuatbtn]

I’d have lamped Trump and Vance by now - how the hell Zalenski hasnt just got up and walked out I don’t know.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

I'm hesitant to ask, but what has he said?

Here's a sample:

 

[essbee1]

Why the f*** have we invited that **** for a state visit. It beggars belief.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

If this deal isn’t good enough and unsigned, and Russia takes Ukraine, Trump will have kicked himself in the foot.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

Anyone think this might have been the plan all along? Get Zelensky to the White House then ambush him.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Trump and Vance are an utter disgrace. Feel so sorry for Zelensky.

The irony of Vance talking about disrespect…..

 

[Eric the meek]

Anyone think this might have been the plan all along? Get Zelensky to the White House then ambush him.

I regret to say that it looks like that.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

I regret to say that it looks like that.

No doubts now. Trump is a Russian asset.

 

[fly high]

I see Trump is repeating the 'we gave money, but Europe gave a loan and get their money back' BS.

It's not obvious whether he's deliberately lying, or if his cognitive decline is so bad that he doesn't remember.

My mum (96) told me Trump is Putin. Also said she thought Trump had a problem in his head. Not wrong is she.

I think Starmer and Zelensky missed a trick. Instead of Starmer delivering the invite from King Charles they should have given it to Zelensky to present as his opening gambit, with the words "my very good friend King Charles has asked me to extend this invitation to you on his behalf". That would have wrong footed Trump and put him in a more conciliatory mood before the meeting started.

Summoned to the headmaster’s study for a caning and then a public dressing down. Shameful tactics. I hope Zelensky signs the agreement and then maybe, when things turn in Ukraine’s favour, he reneges on it

The problem is called narcissistic personality disorder.

 

[fly high]

it is borderline unwatchable. Behind the sofa stuff.

I am incensed at what I have just seen.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Trump accuses Zelensky of “gambling with WW3” - how? What’s he supposed to do? Just roll over?

 

[SouthSaxon]

f***. Trump is sending Zelenskyy home.
f*** f*** f***.
This is beyond awful.
The deal is dead.
Europe is on its own.

 

[Triggaaar]

Oh dear

 

[SouthSaxon]

Time to choose, Keir, there’s no bridging this.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Massive Kleenex shortage over at the Kremlin right now, and not because they’ve been crying.

 

[Bridcutt]

I hope we (the UK) and Europe get even more behind Ukraine now. They will need it. Putin has basically been given the green light by the US to go for it.

I can't believe we had to endure watching Starmer effectively bum lick Trump today only for Trump and JD Vance (who even is he?) to publicly try to humiliate Zelensky in front of the world in his second/third language

 

[chickens]

America needs to get the hell out of our country, let’s support Ukraine.
