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.
Zelensky can only blame himself. If he showed some sense and restraint he would have returned to Ukraine with the deal. This is not the way you should act with Trump, and I should say especially not when your country depends on US support to the extend Ukraine does.
This entire thing was a sham completely orchestrated to bully Zelenskyy and make him look bad because he didn’t accept a horrible deal. You took the bait, mate.
I thought Zelensky showed remarkable constraint given the circumstances and the deal was no deal for Ukraine.
I would say nice troll but you are probably serious.
LOL restraint! Zelensky was calm and cool while Vance and Trump came across as hysterical crybabies. I’ve heard better arguments from 8 year olds in a sandbox. Hilary called it when she said Trump was Putin’s puppet.
