Expel US diplomats? Tell the US Navy to **** off? Jesus Christ Ian. We don't want to damage relations with the US beyond repair. Trump is only president for 4 more years. The US must, and will be a huge ally way beyond that orange ****wit's term in office.

He’s only President for four more years at the moment .

Of course it was.

If I was in the American media, I would want an explanation and would looking to discredit Trump because of this. There is already talk that Trump is now using unverified Right Wing media to get the kind of access AP enjoyed. This will play to the supporters mistrust of the mainstream media but I think it will backfire. I will be interested to see how the next environmental disaster will play out in America.
 
Os has been quiet tonight.

Apologies to disappoint my fans but I was actually out and about. Just sat down and watched the whole thing.

It’s sad that zelensky forced this kind of conversation into the public domain, as it doesn’t help his cause. Everything Trump (and especially Vance) said was correct imo.

I noticed that most of the media were quick to cut the first sections of the conversation off.

I think ultimately zelensky comes out of this interaction worse as the American taxpayer will be even more baffled as to why they are funding this war.

People hate Trump but he’s the only honest and transparent one there

"you don't have the cards right now"

"I'm not playing cards"

"oh you're playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war three."
 
Trollybollocks wumpster alert do not respond.

One of those times where you absolutely have to watch the full meeting and not just the highlights, otherwise you’ll be lost. Love him or hate him, Trump started the meeting by praising Ukraine. Before Zelensky turned to him, Vance started by saying Russia “destroyed” Ukraine. Zelensky decided to turn the meeting into a public spat. Maybe you think he was right to go on offense, but he was absolutely not ambushed.

Lol.

To be honest Vance was trying to showboat and banging on about how they were doing more than the previous administration, Zelensky was trying to agree that the previous administration and EU weren't doing much but got his words mixed up and Vance lost it a bit, Zelensky reacted to that with possibly a little bit of misinterpretation and then old man Trump completely lost the plot too and left Zelensky looking like he had no idea what had happened. Complete mess really but thats the world we are now living in. Its either the technocrats that ignore you and steal your money or the Reality TV star that..........is probably gonna do the same.

I did, you’re totally, utterly, incontrovertibly wrong. Trump and Vance were like a couple of playground bullies.
 
Pretty much every major European leader has released a message of support for Ukraine. Starmer noticeably silent. The apparent success of yesterday has put him in quite a tough position today.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has spoken with both Trump and Zelensky, a spokeswoman said, adding that he "retains unwavering support for Ukraine"
