It was like a scripted show for everyone except Zelensky. Zelensky was railroaded and talked over. Belittled. This was an embarrassment for the US and humanity as a whole. It shouldnt have been televised. What a sad shit show.

I have even more admiration for Zelenskyy after that. He kept his cool through their childish bullying, while respectfully maintaining his stance. His commitment to his people over his own ego made him the only adult in the Oval Office today.

This was humiliating for Americans. I would’ve been less embarrassed had JD started fucking the Oval Office furniture. Every member of Congress that stands behind this is complicit.

You mean when Trump said it “would make great television?”

So when trump says Ukraine has to make concessions to achieve peace... The first thing that comes to mind is that the allies did the same thing when the Nazis started invading their neighbors in the 1930s. Peace at any cost. It showed that all they had to do was threaten war to get what they wanted. In the end, the cost to stop them was WW2.

My point is that the aggressor must pay a steep cost and still not get what they want.

I am once again begging liberals to learn any history other than WW2

What a weird moment of pure media spectacle by two TV-actor-cum-presidents.

Dementia Trump seem to think he is still in the apprentice, you don't get to fire other sovereign nations presidents though.
