Trump and gang really were a humiliation and a disgrace to america in this meeting. Like my god it felt like a bunch of elementary school bullies attacking the kid with a disability. What a shameful time to be an american.
@freemo I think from a geopolitical point of view this is more of a sign to US's adversaries that they aren't fooling around with the International Liberal Rules Based Order kinda thing, instead opting for a Might makes Right approach. I think this is a much required paradigm shift in a world in which the EU is essentially toothless (and dead in the water), befriending RU a bit is better than having a RU/CN alliance that would be impossible to deal with for the US in the long term.
Russia cant even win against Ukraine, they havent even tested the whole of the EU. The smart move would be to stand against such an evil power that can barely win a war against a tiny little country.
Also my how far we have come since the heros that stood up against hitler, clearly the more powerful entity at the time. Now we (or at least you) are ready to kiss the invaders feet because they appear to have more teeth.
I guess your right, Trump is just sucking putin's dick like a lollipop at this point.
It feels a lot like kids bullying on a playground, like I said, but really its putin doing the bullying, we are just the little dickless numbnut standing next to the bully going "yea! good one" every time the bully lands a blow.
@dick
Whatever Zelensky does, he will be sucking Putin's fleshy appendage between vanity shots for magazines.
Zelensky keeps fighting and loses it all. Public support for this war in Ukraine is kinda through the floor (https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-negotiated-end-war.aspx) Putin wins.
Zelensky makes a deal. Cedes land to Russia. Putin wins.
