This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.
There can be debate over who were the losers in that terrible encounter. But there’s only one winner - and that’s Putin, as this revolting message from his closest ally makes clear
This was a planned ambush.
Trump to Zelensky in the Oval Office: "If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would've been over in 2 weeks”
Zelensky: “I heard it from Putin. In 3 days…”
This man, who has ruled Russia for 25 years, wants you to believe that it's of utmost importance that Ukraine holds an election while he ethnically cleanses them.
The world’s richest man & insecure nepo-baby shouldn’t be allowed to dictate UK politics.
Yet some politicians act like sycophants & his unhinged outbursts dominate news, while our democracy is serially undermined.
We must break the super-rich’s grip on our media & politics.
@wandbc Absolute chaos. Insane traffic and why on earth will it take four months? The roads around here are already gridlock given that Hammersmith Bridge is out of action. Dedicate more resources to getting this done faster.
