Rubio: [European Leaders] are not coming to keep Zelenkyy from being bullied.
Brennan: What about the Oval Office meeting where Zelenskyy—
Rubio: Do you know how many meetings we have had since then?

The basic scenario is to maintain positions and create conditions for proper diplomacy to achieve the swiftest possible end to this war with a just peace. We need peace, true and honest peace – not endless war. And security guarantees are essential.
The absence of security guarantees for Ukraine 11 years ago allowed Russia to start with the occupation of Crimea and the war in Donbas. Later, the absence of security guarantees allows Russia to launch a full-scale invasion, and now, due to the lack of clear security guarantees, Russia continues to fuel this war. The world sees this, and the world acknowledges it.
Today, we continued our work with European partners on a special diplomatic and security architecture that can bring us closer to peace.
Sweden stands fully and firmly behind Ukraine. 🇺🇦 The Ukrainian people deserve our respect, our gratitude and our support. They are not alone in their efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace.
@ZelenskyyUa This is a photo of Sir Winston Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World War. He'd have been proud of you today Volodymyr.
This is the most disgraceful foreign policy encounter that any American president has ever had with a foreign leader in history. And why the hell does Vance keep demanding 10 times that Zelensky thank them? He’s thanked the US a million times - he doesn’t have to kiss your asses!
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:
Never have I been so fired up to help you guys defeat your new tyrannical leadership. Let me say unequivocally I’m prepared to die on this hill.
JD Vance gave a speech to European leaders today that has quite literally destroyed transatlantic relations. This was a disgusting, arrogant insult to every European and British leader. It was a MASSIVE mistake that WILL hurt America.
If the intention was to wake Europe up, then mission accomplished, but he’s just blown Trump’s Ukraine peace deal completely out of the water. Europe now sees Trump as aligning with Russia and that represents an existential threat to Europe. He has completely overplayed his hand.
This is a 20 minute video. I have included it because I believe people should bear witness to the day America declared war on Europe.
If you’re a MAGA, no point engaging because it will earn an instant block. I’m really not in the mood for your knuckle dragger shit today.
