Summary

Trump and Zelenskyy’s confrontational Oval Office meeting advanced “mob boss foreign policy” serving Russian interests.

Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyy when he refused their “extortionate” minerals deal or to thank them despite Trump’s stated intent to reduce support for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy effectively countered their claims by noting Russia’s 2014 invasion and correcting historical inaccuracies, which angered the Americans.

This represents the first openly “anti-US, anti-Western, anti-democracy foreign policy in American history.” Russians embraced it, and Putin ally and former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev celebrated the exchange.

    Yes, America is free to let Putin invade a sovereign country.

    Of course this makes them chickenshit appeasers. Unreliable Russian bootlickers who are willing to abandon their commitments under the Budapest Memorandum. But they are free to do this.

    Just don’t give me any of this “land of the free, home of the brave” bullshit. They’ve proven who they are, and they are not that. They’re fucking greedy imperialist cowards, friends of dictators and authoritarians. I hope they do us all a favour and just hurry their descent into irrelevance.

    Once they’ve completed their internal collapse, and the pieces have been picked apart, a new Alaric will ride in and close the deal. Lasted less than 300 years. Pretty pathetic by comparison. But I guess the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

        America has never been the world’s police, except if you think the police are there to enforce power from the dominant socio economic group. In which case yes.

        They didn’t help people. Remember those wmds that didn’t exist and were never found?

        They’ve only ever been a force for their own power and enrichment

        Look, Americans are tired of being the world police, entering into endless war and conflict, and it is time all our “allies” stepped up and sent their children to the battlefield.

        Who ever asked for that ?

          Europe is asking right now. They want to form a European coalition “of the willing” to stand with Ukraine…but only if America offers security guarantees. Guarantees that America will fight, so yes they are all asking.

              That is a valid point, I’ll give you that one. With 38 US military bases in the EU we are their national defense. Many Americans are tired of war and don’t want to get dragged into another endless conflict.
