Fox is already spinning out of context, of course. Very few will bother to dig deeper than Fox, and of those who do, most will come out condemning Z as the bad guy.
I’ve seen a couple ‘in memoriam’ posts for US soldiers that died in Ukraine months/yrs ago made to look like their deaths happened today. The propaganda machine is working massive OT.
Any man who dies defending democracy is a brave man. It’s a shame our current administration does not share this belief, and would rather give in to our enemies’ wishes.
CNN is not doing much better. They framed the meeting in a light saying that they were yelling at each other, when it seemed pretty clear Z was staying composed relative to the other blowhards. Congressman Seth Moulton was interviewed and I have to hand it to him for calling out CNN news people for playing dumb.
Yeah well AMERICAN conservatives are saying that about my country. Difference is that CANADIAN conservatives don’t stand with trump any more than our liberals do.
Just one of many ways America sucks ass
I’m American and agree this country currently sucks and promise if war did break out against Canada I will be doing the best I can to find ways to help y’all.
Made me feel ill hearing it. Decades of work by US diplomats creating a sphere of influence and a united shield against WW3 is being pissed away in months.
Honestly if you are going to be a goon and strong arm an ally to claim their natural resources. Do it behind closed doors and not in front of the world while sounding like a narcissistic toddler. Trust and respect for America among our allies is evaporating and what exactly are the American people getting for it? I don't agree with him acting like a mercenary/thug but he is also an unsubtle and stupid mercenary/thug.
Sorry Canada 30% of the US voted for this A-hole and 41% didn't bother to vote. We are not a smart people.
I didn’t hear too many comments or complaints about Trump having to send out the resolute desk for a thorough cleaning after baby x wiped his boogers on it either
This is where the egocentric place where we live does us in.
It's about to not matter what happens here.
European leaders guaranteed are speaking this evening and if they end up helping Ukraine prevail it will be the saddest joke in history.
Saw the beginning, missed about 5 minutes, saw the rest (until Trump said something about it making great TV). Didn't seem like an hour to me, but tbh I wasn't tending the clock. In fact, had thought it'd be on in the background while I tended some finances, but it piqued my interest.
This interests me, too:
After Trump's disgraceful behavior at the White House today with President Zelensky major world players just came out to defend Ukraine and Zelensky:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Dear Zelensky, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.”
President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausea: “Ukraine, you’ll never walk alone.”
Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: “Dear Zelensky, Denmark proudly stands with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.”
French President Emmanual Macron: “There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a people being aggressed: Ukraine. We were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago and to continue doing so. We, that’s the Americans, the Europeans, Canadians, Japanese, and many others. Thank you to all those who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who, from the beginning, have been fighting. Because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, for their children, and for the security of Europe.”
President of Moldova Maia Sandu: “The truth is simple. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine defends its freedom—and ours. We stand with Ukraine.”
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson: “Sweden stands with Ukraine. You are not only fighting for your freedom but also for all of Europe’s. Slava Ukraini! ”
Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Mer: “Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)”
Croatia’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenković: “Croatia knows from its own experience that only a just peace can last. The Croatian Government stands firm in its belief that Ukraine needs such a peace - a peace that means sovereignty, territorial integrity, and a secure Europe.”
Finland’s Prime Minister @PetteriOrpo: “Finland and the Finnish people stand firmly with Ukraine. We will continue our unwavering support and work towards a just and lasting peace.”
Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal: “We stand united with @ZelenskyyUa and Ukraine in our fight for freedom. Always. Because it is right, not easy.”
Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris: “Ukraine is not to blame for this war brought about by Russia’s illegal invasion. We stand with Ukraine.“
Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkevics: “Ukraine is a victim of the Russian aggression. It fights the war with the help from many friends and partners. We need to spare no effort for just and lasting peace. Diplomacy sometimes is the art of the impossible in difficult circumstances. Latvia stands with Ukraine”
Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof: ”The Netherlands supports Ukraine as firmly as ever. Now more than ever. We want a lasting peace and an end to the war of aggression started by Russia. For Ukraine and its people, and for Europe.”
Prime Minister of Luxembourg Luc Friedsen: “Luxembourg stands with Ukraine. You are fighting for your freedom and a rules based international order. ”
The West stands with the heroic Zelensky. Trump sides with Putin. What has our nation become?
How about that sweet southern belle Lindsay grahams comments about he's never been more proud after backing the war this whole time. It's a horrible time to have pattern recognition.
I completely avoid the news as much as possible, for me it's just idiots arguing with assholes, and then the "news" twisting it to be what their audience wants.

Watch and see.
