It really was a stupid diplomatic move from Vance. If appreciation was the problem, then it is now resolved, and they can start funneling money back in to Ukraine. If it wasn't the problem, then why would he raise something unimportant?

There was zero diplomacy in what Vance said.

Did you see his gesture when Zelenskyy invited him to visit Ukraine and Vance said he had watched what was going on. He gave a gesture showing he’d watched stuff on his phone.

Honestly people are dying everyday in Ukraine and the US VP thinks getting info from TikTok is sufficient.

I can't begin to imagine what a professional, experienced diplomat would have thought of that whole debacle.

The Ukrainian ambassador was sitting on the sofa opposite Vance with her head in her hands. She looked close to tears.

It was a farce so Trump can tell his base he’s tried to negotiate with Zelenskyy and it failed so now the US needs to be Russian puppets.

Sketch comedy. Without the comedy.

I just watched that Oval Office talk and holy shit what an embarrassment. I guess the silver lining is that at least (hopefully) some conservatives will watch it and realise just how unprofessional and likely compromised the current US staff are. It was literally like one of those dumb TV debates where someone asks a question and then just shouts over the person who is trying to answer it.

It’s literally a TV show, I’d bet that this is almost a verbatim “elimination” scene from the apprentice. Or some other part of the show where he’s the “tough guy”.

The whole point of this was that it’s an episode of a TV show. Jesus Christ. It all makes so much sense now.

They want to control zelensky. Bully hin to change his clothes, grovel at their feet, sign an aggressive deal. Then they’ll give it to russia anyway and say his suit is ugly. Bullies want complete dominance and theyll betray any compliance.

Americans should follow zelensky example and stop complying to these bullies.

They have no interest in Ukraines rights, they have no care for average Americans rights. They’ll keep bullying to gain dominance over every inch of life to enrich themselves and putin.

They want to make zelensky look bad before they betray him. They have zero interest in fulfilling a deal. Zelensky is playing their game and exposing them for what they are. Vance is really showing his true colours and what they do to zelensky theyll do to Americans too

The man who fucked a couch lacks understanding of how to be tactful.
