Summary
JD Vance’s confrontational role in Friday’s Oval Office clash with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy became a flashpoint for the US-European relationship.
Vance provoked Zelenskyy by accusing him of leading “propaganda tours,” escalating tensions before Trump joined in.
Critics suggest this confrontation was deliberately orchestrated to damage US-Ukraine relations, noting immediate and synchronized Republican messaging afterward.
European officials backed Zelenskyy while expressing concern that the US is siding with Putin. Following the meeting, Trump officials indicated they might cut all military aid to Ukraine, marking a potential collapse of the transatlantic alliance.
I feel very sorry for the everyday Americans involved in this maga project 2025 racist agenda.
Don’t feel too sorry. About half of us asked for this clown horrer show.
Only 20% of us ASKED for this. Everyone else was outvoted or complicit.
Silence is complicity, yes.
That’s not really the same as asking for it though.
Fair enough
European officials backed Zelenskyy while expressing concern that the US is siding with Putin. Following the meeting, Trump officials indicated they might cut all military aid to Ukraine, marking a potential collapse of the transatlantic alliance.
I think it would do the global community a lot of good to simply cut the States off from any resources, all trade, and any aid they need from us (like helping put out their damn fires!).
If the rapist in chief thinks his country is the only country that matters, let them experience the next four years in a complete global blackout.
Maybe then this jackass will realize that the States needs the world more than the world needs the States.
EU still needs resources from US though. Remember the Russian gas they were so dependent before 2022? It was largely replaced with American gas.
Replace it with Canadian gas that’s currently going to the US.
Safe to assume this is Thiel then? Or the TechBroFuedalists?
Is that the Vance faction?
I’m genuinely asking:
Why does Thiel/techbros want closer ties with Russia and to seemingly break the postwar imperial status quo?
Is there any Republican faction that wants to maintain it? I’m guessing maybe old hands like McConnell?
This seems to be the first big Flashpoint for the neoliberals to actually stand up and push back, via corporate media.
They want kingdoms.
A return to “the good ol’ days” of feudal lords, jus primae noctis, and plebs to work into early graves.
They call them network states.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, there was kinda a “fire sale” of government assets… They just got “sold” (effectively handed) to people who were favoured by the leaders of the time. This was how these Russian oligarchs came to be.
I think this is where the wind is blowing in the USA. Tear apart anything the government does and hand the responsibility for those things as private contracts, and to just hand those contracts to whomever seems like they’d be a good soldier.
Basically, rip all of the copper out of the walls, sell it at 10% market rate to the PayPal mafia, and then let them sell you copper-as-a-service.
See, this is why you don’t elect rapist kids into public office. And you don’t sit back and let others elect them into office either.
How did the party of this
Turn into this so quickly?
That dumbass could break a iron man with a rubber hammer.
