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

[Eric the meek]

Of course he knew. He answered wrong

Whatever he had answered, he wouldn't have changed the outcome. That is what he knew.

 

[Commander]

Got to say was exactly what was neeeded from trump . Russia have dominated and hold what they set out too. Could get way worse for Ukraine the moment Russia decide . Does that guy want to save lives

Trump is a nob but he is strong . If only other leaders said it how it is

Expect a media backlash from the easily offended tomorrow

Jesus. Trump was utterly out of his depth there. If you think that is the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth being ‘strong’ then I’m afraid you are a complete simpleton.

No offence meant of course.

 

[SouthSaxon]

Of course he knew. He answered wrong

What part of “he walked into an ambush” do people not understand?? Trump and Vance we’re going to flex their muscles and humiliate him whatever he said.

f*** me.

 

[Eric the meek]

I’d like the next leader who visits the White House to rock up in the car, wind the window down, egg the c*** and drive off again. See how he enjoys that.

Invest in egg producers in the run-up to Trump's state visit. It's a one way bet.

 

[WATFORD zero]

There wasn't 'a plan' for anything, there never is with Trump as his attention span isn't long enough

It's the same as Trump being a russian 'asset'. They really aren't that stupid, even though they are loving this.

All those close to him know he won't see his term out, and Vance saw his chance to get himself into the minds of all those Maga morons. I just hope Europe now distances itself from Trump and we use this opportunity as the final straw to us getting back to being one of the major powers in Europe.

He's strong in orange colouring and bullshit, and that's about it.

Our security services are going to have a hell of a job stopping folk from giving him a lovely reception.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Trump is even a bigger c u n t than putin

I'm hoping that we will unite together more, and unite behind Ukraine. The signs are that we will.

It was damn good timing that Starmer organised a summit of European Leaders and Zelensky for Sunday. Almost as if he had a premonition.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

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

Except its Trump and Vance that look stupid, not Zelensky.

 

[Cordwainer]

it is borderline unwatchable. Behind the sofa stuff.

Careful it’s not one that JD had just ‘sat’ on.

 

[raymondo]

You can’t tell me nobody in the Pentagon is watching this and thinking “we’ve got to step in here”.

Or Langley.

Or indeed up the road at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Hasn't he replaced all those people yet

Not the first time you’ve revealed yourself to be an utter clown.

 

[Eric the meek]

Surely that adds weight to the ambush theory? They've got everything else wrong so far.

 

[Pavilionaire]

It's time for Europe to step up.

We need to double down on our support for Ukraine.

How can any British person watch that and not side with Ukraine?

Time for us to break away from the USA and for trump to not be allowed to set foot in this country . The USA is now a rouge state just like Russia

 

[raymondo]

Suspect this might be an unpopular viewpoint, but I don’t think Zelensky handled that very well. Telling Trump what to do is never going to go down well. He needed to play to his ego and manipulate him though it. Like Starmer did yesterday. A lot harder to do in your third language, I fully accept.

In retrospect he probably could have had a translator with him (not for his replies) ...just to slow down the pace.

And, maybe unpopular to say (I know), should he have worn a suit, just to take that issue out of the way .
Any decent host would have chosen to understand that he always dresses like that in respect to the war...but he wasn't with any decent host

It’s Margret Atwood time in the US. Her work is now looking painfully prophetic.

Don't have to be British, how can any decent person watch that and not side with Ukraine? Hopefully will be the spur to build a strong European response in support of Ukraine.

 

[marlowe]

Trump's trying to manipulate and distort the narrative so he'll be able to say we had a deal in place which was all agreed with Ukraine which would have stopped the killing, but then Ukraine went back on the agreement, so the continuation of hostilities is all Ukraine's fault.

He obviously failed in his pathetic attempt to convince everyone that Ukraine were responsible for starting the war, so with his latest gambit he probably thinks he'll have a chance of convincing people that Ukraine are responsible for continuing the war, with his portrayal of them as the aggressors.

This in turn will provide Trump with the justification for his abandonment of Ukraine and his appeasement and support of Putin, who like him just wanted to achieve peace, unlike Zelensky.

It doesn't matter to Trump that most people won't buy that narrative as long as that justification exists in his warped mind and re-enforced and validated by his sycophantic enablers.

This is what I posted yesterday and that's exactly how it's played out today. Trump is so transparent and predictable.
