Summary

Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.

Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.

During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”

The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.

    Congrats Never Genocide people posing as Progressives. We fucking warned you that exactly this was going to happen. Trump and his cult would side with Russia and throw Ukraine under the bus.

    Great fucking job.

    And great fucking job, Mods, for protecting those fucks in the name of civility.

    We are the baddies now. And we got here because you’d rather protect Nazis from being punched in the mouth for their words and actions in the name of civility.

      Doing God’s work in excusing the DNC’s unwillingness to do what it took to defeat Trump (just like, right now, they’re not doing what it takes to stop him).

      For the instinctive ass-kisser it’s never the Royalty who is to blame, always the plebes.

      With an “opposition” that doesn’t actually oppose and is ever less representative of the population, Project 2025 was always going to happen, sooner or later, since the trend of the last 2 decades has been ever more of far right populism, propped up by the Democrats’ ever more Rightwing policies and ever less trying to represent the broader population (and repeatedly using “we’re not them” as their entire electoral strategy).

      You know what might’ve worked? Not having licked the boots of the Democrat Leadership during the last decade or two.

      Now, you’re getting to enjoy the bed you made for yourself.

        They really have you all wrapped around their fingers, don’t they? Your democracy is literally on fire around you and the best both ”sides” can do is bicker whose fault it is.

          There was never any democracy to begin with if you can’t vote for whoever the fuck you want, without resorting to “lesser evil” strategies.

      Thank fucking God we didn’t vote for Harris because she wouldn’t outright condemn Israel. Totally worth everything happening now (that any remotely educated and reasonable person warned about).

      I kinda feel like the ‘never genocide’ people were always secretly embarrassed trumpsuckers.

      But I don’t have a problem with mods giving them the same protections as the rest of us. I think those people are a bunch of wankers but I don’t want Lemmy turning into more of an echo chamber than it already is.
