They reacted. Not an ambush.
VANCE PROVOKED. It's not the first time, either. This is the way they work together. You want futher proof? Marjorie Taylor Greenes boy friend launched into that ridiculous attack on Zelenskyyu not wearing a suit! It was a pile on that embarassed everyone but MAGA morons in that room - including Rubio who was absolutely deflated.
Zelenskyy was clearly agitated from nearly the beginning.
That's your opinion. I see a man doing all he can to listen, understand, and drive home the point that Putin has iled about every agreement and can't be trusted. I see a man looking out for the people of Ukraine.
From what I observed he wants much more than what is being offered.
Trump offered nothing. Trump made that clear when a reporter asked about Russia keeping their word and he blew up and launched into insanity about "what if a bomb dropped on your head!" Geezus Trump was an embarrassment. A horrible embarrassment.
His body language said it all. It got testy when he got real condescending with Vance, almost expecting to intimidate Junior, when instead of capitulating Vance fired back that is when things spiraled. I didn't see it as planned - it seemed spontaneous. From what I observed Trump and Vance were both surprised by Zelenskyy's snark and then it went downhill.
This is where you lost all credibility. All.
Zelenskyy clearly wanted an escalation of help from the US in terms of security guarantees. I don't blame him. I'd want that too if I was in his position The problem is he has no leverage. While I would never expect him to grovel, he eventually bit the hand that has been feeding him and he set his own country back as a result, IMO
Back to having absolutely no credibility. You want him to not to grovel, but that was the demand. Accept nothing and give us your minerals, and we'll ask Putin, but "a bomb might drop on your heads" anyway.
Fcck Trump, Fcck Vance, Fcck any MAGA supporting Trump in this hideous embarrassing attempt to exploit an ally in such dire need.
Honestly what youv'e shown of yourself in this is unappealing to say the least.
