I’d rather have Zelenskyy than Elon.

trump and vance yelling at an ally in need of help because he said "thank you" at the wrong time

That isn't what they were doing at all.

They were yelling at an enemy in hopes of provoking him, in order to manufacture a justification for their own treachery.

As Americans, we need to understand that Trump is unilaterally forcing the US to switch sides -- to betray NATO and join Russia and North Korea as pariah dictatorships -- and we need to decide what we're going to do about it.

I couldn't even make it through a minute without rage building up and had to turn off the video. That he could sit there and put up with that ridiculous circus without getting up and leaving or punching them in the face is amazing. I could not do that. I'm pissed off again writing this and being reminded of the short video I watched.

I feel like a lot of the world is feeling some sort of satisfaction like "we told you the USA fucking sucked"

I’m absolutely disgusted and enraged.

A very small part of me wants to believe the “he’s playing 4D chess, he’s six moves ahead, and we just can’t see his next play yet” MAGAts. Because the only other alternative is that he’s a fully senile idiot who holds the most powerful seat in the country. And unfortunately for my sanity, I know his actions are not due to genius.

You've been downvoted, but you're right.

Folks, this is what debasement is:

debasement noun

The act of debasing or the state of being debased; a lowering, especially in character or quality.

What Zelenskyy did was the exact opposite of that: by putting his personal pride aside for the good of Ukraine despite Trump and Vance trying to double-team him with the worst bullying they could muster, he showed incredible strength of character and statesmanship.

Make no mistake: this was not Zelenskyy showing weakness or fealty towards Trump. This was Zelenskyy jumping through the hoops necessary to deny the bullies credibility for their claims that he was not cooperating towards peace. His graciousness just sets him further above them, in terms of diplomatic credibility.

In the damn near no-win scenario Zelenskyy is in, this was as close to a victory as he could possibly have hoped for.

he wasn't even listening, he had his bullshit ready to go. he said "did you ever say thank you" when zelenskyy literally started talking by saying thank you in that very meeting.

Because he is thanking Trump after they treated him like crap. He is doing the adult thing for diplomacy, but had he had no war situation Thanking somebody for being overly douchey to you would be considered debasing yourself
